I have a Step with a "cancel" path. On this path I have enabled "comment required" => User always should enter a comment if he is cancelling the workflows. Now I have a "housekeeping" timer in that step. The timer exections an action (Change field value => [System]Comment) and has path transistion after action execution "cancel" => Timer throws an error: field validation "Comment" on path "cancel". 1. idea: I make a special cancel-path for the timer => problems: * I have more such s (...)

What does the X icon mean on an intermediate step in the workflow diagram?

Hello everyone, over the past few months, I have been experiencing an issue where my browser session in WEBCON expires frequently. This behavior is also observed by my customers. Notably, the logout occurs even after relatively short periods of inactivity. Has anyone encountered a similar issue or identified potential causes for this behavior? I would appreciate any recommendations on how to resolve or mitigate it. Thank you in advance for your support.

Did anyone test OAuth 2.0 authentication with OneDrive upload actions? It seems that it's not using proper way of saving files. So I can read lists just fine but when using this action I'm getting 401 unauthorised.

I have this strange issue, at least second time. Not sure if I had it on pre 2026.1.6.198 builds. When I move a field (or a group) on the form in Designer studio, for example from left to bottom section, on existing workflows it's still in the "old" place. When I start a new one, it's in the new place. So existing instances are stuck with old layout. See attached - same moment, new instance and old-saved one. Two different layouts.

Is there any way to use logic in a docx template? For example, conditional logic—displaying a paragraph (or table, or simple word/phrase) depending on the value of a field?

Hi there. I'm struggling with the behaviour of choice fields (especially if I start a workflow element via SQL) if the value put into the field is not in the data source or not distinkt. I remember that in earlier Versions it would have started the new element, highlighted the value with red underlining and refused to go on, unless a valid value was entered, but the element has been created and the "wrong value" was in there. Nowadays it will give an error, not create the new item and do a (...)

Hi, if one adds groups in the user privileges of a report users not being member of the configured group(s) get those restricted reports displayed in the suggested reports widget of dashboards in the portal. The report content shows no data - as expected. May this be a bug due to a missing permission check? Kind regards Sébastien

Hello, is it possible to prevent emails from being sent in the dev environment without having to disable all actions that involve sending them?

Hi, How can I create a form in WEBCON BPS Designer Studio with four columns: field name, current value from an SQL table, new value to be entered,description for the entry? Just like in the screenshot. I need to display the current value to the user, and the user should be able to enter a new one.

I have a single line text field as a technical field that I set to describe specific status e.g. Approved / Denied English is set as the original language within the business rule that sets me the field along the way. I use this technical field within our dashboards but it always defaults to English no matter what I do,. The path gets triggered by a subworkflow. If I the author myself go on the path the translation is ok but if I manage it through the sub-worflow from a superior for exampl (...)

Hi everyone, I’m running into an issue with calculated columns in a WEBCON BPS report and I’m wondering if anyone has faced something similar or found a workaround. I have a report based on some workflow, and I’m trying to add a calculated column that returns the value related to a given element in report. The value is stored in a table located on another SQL Server (linked server), which is already connected to the WEBCON database. I tried using a query like this: SELECT Value FROM [serv (...)

I already asked a similar question regarding a signature field. I updated the Word template because old references broke it apparently, then and then it worked. I now have a multi-line advanced text field with settings and editor. I tried to add in word as rich text field control with and without Business rule / only text field value. Should I try to create the word again until it works ? Or is it just not possible to take the format of the text over into the word-file? Best regards (...)

Hi, I'm experiencing an issue with selection attributes. If a user types a value but doesn’t explicitly confirm the selection, the value still appears in the field after saving the form or moving along the workflow path. However, the problem is that the value change rules are not triggered in this case, which often results in the form not being populated correctly. Has anyone encountered this behavior or found a reliable workaround?

Hi, I have a problem with the form. I get this message when I break inheritance on a step. I can't fix it. It affects the order of attributes, and I can't change their settings. Has anyone had a similar problem? Version ver. 2025.2.1.321

I've been trying to install the newest Webcon version and the installer gives me the information that I must have Cumulative update 29 (15.0.4410.1) installed to continue. The problem is that I haveall the most recent updates and when I try to install the desired update manually, I get: "A SQL Server update with a higher version has already been installed on SQL Server instance MSSQLSERVER, so the current SQL Server update cannot be applied. The version of the SQL Server update that is already (...)

Hi, is this license(WEBCON BPS Process CAL) still available for purchase? We are using WEBCON 2025 R2 with a perpetual license. We already have one license of this type installed and would like to buy another one. It is possible to combine perpetual licenses with subscription-based licenses within the same WEBCON BPS environment. For example, in the new process, I would like to use my current perpetual BPS CALs for internal users and Single‑Use Access Licenses for external users.

Question for Webcon Team Webcon BPS use .Net Aspose. SDK created by Webcon team / webcon actions like word to pdf also using Aspose library. SDK are executed by webcon. Could I use existing license If I want to create a new SDK with Aspose.

Hi everyone, maybe this question asked before. I am currently working with a WEBCON BPS SaaS instance and I need to connect it to a local (on-premises) SQL Server to access internal data sources. I understand that the WEBCON BPS Bridge is the recommended solution for this hybrid setup to avoid opening inbound firewall ports. However, I am having trouble locating the actual download link for the Bridge installer within my portal or the community downloads section. Could someone please p (...)

After upgrading our environment to WEBCON BPS 2026, the “Edit file” functionality in document libraries no longer works as expected. Before the upgrade: • Clicking “Edit file” on a Word document from the document library opened the file directly in Microsoft Word for editing without issues. After the upgrade: • Clicking “Edit file” opens Microsoft Word. • Entering the correct credentials does not authenticate successfully. • Instead, the same login window reappears in a loop. Ad (...)
