Hello all, This might be a very simple question! I'm trying to set up a calculated date field using a concat function and then a text to date in order to format it to date, but I'm keep having an error saying that String '7/3/2024' was not recognized as a valid DateTime. It looks like the conversion function is not working. Do you know if that only works if selecting a field? Meaning, I need to create the concat information prior and then use the field in the conversion? Thank you

Hello all, Does anyone configured an action for Document signatures using the built-in action for Sign an Attachment with CoSign? I'm not sure how to establish the SOAP Url and login. I thought that selecting the attachment, the user would be prompt to login in DocuSign page and sign the document. Thank you

Hi, I need your help. The topic is actually quite simple, but unfortunately I have a problem with this one process. I start a new parallel subworkflow in an action (ID is saved in a technical field), which I want to update later. In the action "Update related workflow instance" we get the message for the users: Incorrect instance ID: ''. When we execute this workflow, the ID is found and the data is written. So it seems to be an authorization problem? Both processes are in the same a (...)

Dear Community, After upgrading WEBCON BPS to latest standalone version 2023.1.3.202 (from 2023.1.3.169) I noticed that there are errors in mail sending report. E-mails are delivered but log is filling up with error. Error: "Failed to save information in the workflow instance history about the successful email sending execution" Error details: "Unrecognized Guid format." Attached screenshot with it. In history there is only information about adding e-mail notification to queue. No (...)

Hi, I have one major problem with the Add privileges action. It works when I add privileges to single users but doesn't apply when I choose a group as a USER / SQL query. On the Instance level there is information that the Group has privileges but members of the group do not have access to the instance. Additionally when I add privileges to the group manually users of the group can see the contents. Where am I making a mistake? ver. 2023.1.3.169

Hey, I am creating a workflow where I would like to give option [Send Back for LEGAL Check] on different steps (Screen shot added ). However, I want to create a restriction so on the legal check step users can see only paths related to the step that it came from. Not all paths because that would be extremely confusing (screenshot of all paths added). So for clarification if the flow was send to "legal check" from step "Business Approval" I want user on the "legal check" step only to see path (...)

Use case: User registers new form (parent), to that form, he needs to register additional forms (children). It's 2 level tree childrens are leafs, they can't be parents. On those children forms, there are validation rules, which depends on data from the parent form, and a path [Validate] which checks for required fields. To make sure that children forms are filled properly (...)

Hi, I have a date & time field. I want the timeout to execute one hour from the date and time set in that field. How can I achieve this? From my testing, it seems to only consider the date and not the time. Thanks, Raluca

Hi guys, got element with over 17k versions in history - it has been updated every 30 mins with a cyclical action. I would like to remove it completely, but am not able to. Got timeout using [Delete] button on element, as in the attachment. Also tried the archive action in button (removing completely from the database) with no luck as well. Do not want to remove it manually from DB. Any ideas how to do that? Version 2023.1.2.68

Hello! I'm currently implementing a workflow where I first create a Word document with form fields, initiating with the 'Start editing a file using OneDrive' action. This allows me to access and edit the Word file directly from my OneDrive folder, and everything works perfectly at this stage. However, I encounter a problem in the subsequent step of my workflow. After making modifications to the Word document, I aim to generate a PDF from the updated file. I am using the 'Finish editing a f (...)

Hello Experts We have a html template with our logo in it as an image tag. When we create a PDF from the template the logo is not displayed in the PDF. In the html template itself the image is displayed. We also tried to insert the logo directly in the Generate PDF action in the tab Appearance => Show header => Html: It's the same here. The only thing that is displayed in the PDF is the alternative Text for the image but not the image itself. The logo is located as file in a template process (...)

Hi community! I have to remove all privileges (except the author of the element) on current workflow element for security reasons. I tried putting the action 'On exit' of the current step, before executing all other actions (assigning tasks, adding certain privileges, ...) on path to next step. According to an old documentation 'On exit' actions should be executed first and should not be dependent on the path, that was taken. Unfortunately the action 'Remove privileges' is always (...)

I was following: https://daniels-notes.de/posts/2023/copy-attachment-to-other-workflow and https://community.webcon.com/forum/thread/3240 [quote="Daniel"] you using the function would be one option. Other are: - Set the local parameter using an SQL command - Use the for each function to iterate through the attachments - Use the for each function in combination with a data source - Use the for each function in combination with "any collection Since there are numerous ways where th (...)

Hello everyone! Does anyone know if there is a way to start a workflow instance based on xml file stored in a folder on the disk? Unfortunately the HotFolder functionality allows starting workflows only for a few supported file types. Any chance to workaround this limitation? Thank you, Martin

Hello Experts, We're currently on BPS version 2021.1.2.143 (getting ready for upgrade) I try to invoke a REST API to update form fields, and I get a proper response from the service, however, it doesn't update the fields. I'm using OData Query to filter and expand the data, and load the response definition from the service. The action configuration and action log with response are on my pictures. What can I be doing wrong? The response is complete, however it doesnt populate the fields. (...)
