Hi,

I'm facing a problem using InfoPath 2003 form fields within a NINTEX workflow. The "query xml" action works perfect for form fields containing not more than 256 characters. If there are more, it's simply cut off after 255 characters.

Even using a collection type variable can't solve this problem. Is there any possibility to bring a semicolon separated text field from InfoPath to the workflow and work with each single item (using the collection operation features)?

Here are some more details:

InfoPath 2003:

//my:MyFields/my:txtLongString  -> "mail1@server.com;mail2@server.com;mail3@server.com, ....." (> 256 characters)

Within NINTEX I need every single email address within a collection or a text field. But the “query xml” action cuts the string after 255 characters.

Many thanks in advance,

Mike

I'm having the same issues and it's frustrating my end users.  In our case, we're using an InfoPath form to set up a help desk.  We need to be able to collect info and confirm the info via email to our end users.  Truncated text is not going over well.

Hi,

I tested this using a simple InfoPath form with a single text field. The field contained ~1000+ characters.

I used the Query XML action to store the result to a text variable then send myself the resulting text variable in an email.

The e-mail I recieved was:

someone@nintex.com;someone@nintex.com;someone@nintex.com;someone@nintex.com;someone@nintex.com;someone@nintex.com;someone@nintex.com;someone@nintex.com;someone@nintex.com;someone@nintex.com;someone@nintex.com;someone@nintex.com;someone@nintex.com;someone@nintex.com;someone@nintex.com;someone@nintex.com;someone@nintex.com;someone@nintex.com;someone@nintex.com;someone@nintex.com;someone@nintex.com;someone@nintex.com;someone@nintex.com;someone@nintex.com;someone@nintex.com;someone@nintex.com;someone@nintex.com;someone@nintex.com;someone@nintex.com;someone@nintex.com;someone@nintex.com;someone@nintex.com;someone@nintex.com;someone@nintex.com;someone@nintex.com;someone@nintex.com;someone@nintex.com;someone@nintex.com;someone@nintex.com;someone@nintex.com;someone@nintex.com;someone@nintex.com;someone@nintex.com;someone@nintex.com;someone@nintex.com;someone@nintex.com;someone@nintex.com;someone@nintex.com;someone@nintex.com;someone@nintex.com;someone@nintex.com;someone@nintex.com;someone@nintex.com;someone@nintex.com;

So the text was not truncated in this case. After you store the result to a workflow text variable try using a regular expression to 'Split' the result by the ';' character and store it into a collection.

Please note this was tested using the latest version of Nintex Workflow.
