Hi, Is there any way to hook into an api that is hosted on a localhost? I have a locally fired server, I use FastAPI (the tool is built in python). In browsers the API works. However, when I try to run a query on a form I get this message. I have already tried restarting DNS, disabling the firewall. The server is on startup and the server is listening on port 8000. I am new to webcon and just learning. Thank you in advance for your help.

Is there any way to avoid refreshing a form after invoking a menu action? The problem is that it moves the form to the top and the form flashes.

Hello. I have a process where, on a certain step, I've made 2 timeouts. First one, will happen when this condition will be true: SELECT CASE WHEN Count < '4' AND Urgent = 'true' THEN 1 ELSE 0 END AS Result FROM wfelements WHERE wfd_id = {WFD_ID} Inside this timeout, there is an automation that will increase by 1 the value of the Count. And there is the second timeout configured, that will happen when the next condition is true: SELECT (...)

Hi, I'm starting sub-workflow instances from item list. I would like to save sub-workflow instance ID to the related column of item list. I'm using automation having FOR EACH and Start sub-workflow action. All i can see is the possibility to save subworkflow ID to the form field, not item list columns. Is there a better way than having another action updating item list with the IDs?

Hi, I don't think the "Replace Item List Values" action is working properly. When I provide a BPS source in the configuration and use a filter to select data, the filter does not work on the form. The filter in Designer Studio works during testing. This problem does not occur in the "Update Item List Values" action, so I used a workaround: "Clear Item List" + "Update Item List Values" / Add new rows from the data source. Do you also have such a problem? However, using the SQL query instea (...)

Hello dear community! I have a question regarding OneDrive. I've set up a path that loops back to the same step. On this path, I have the action 'Start editing a file using OneDrive'. Additionally, I have established a data connection to my OneDrive in 'Data Sources', which works when tested. However, when I execute everything, it loads for a bit, and then I receive the error message: 'Error transferring the file test.docx', even though the document is in my OneDrive folder as configured. Regar (...)

Hi, We have problem after update to ver. 2023.1.2.99. We have implemented menu buttons for Help Desk and Printing. In 2022, every user who have acces to instance can push button and print form or start help desk (button in menu was accesable in every step or last steps etc). After the update buttons apear on the form but after clicking there is error... and users cant use it. Is it new feature or is it a bug. It looks like some save restrictions - but it was not the case in 2022 ver. (...)

Hello, At the moment I've split up a bigger project into smaller pieces so I can test out everything I need separately. I'm trying to add a new attachment to an instance using this API /api/data/v4.0/db/{dbid}/elements/{id}/attachments. I have 2 fields into this form: contentBASE64 and fileName. All I'm trying to do is to use these values from my fields together with the API action so I end up with an instance in a final state having an attachment into attachemnts section. I have alre (...)

Hello, The workflow I am designing requires an email to be sent after a certain time spent in a step. Is this possible using the Date Diff function?

Hello, I've upgraded my Webcon only yesterday and today it seems that there is a problem when sending configurable e-mail through action. The action is simple and it worked until now (previous version 2023.1.1.89). When the action runs it returns an error "Can't send e-mail: Column 'mail' does not belong to table Results.". The field used in the action is named "Procedujacy" and is the type "User or group" with the data source <Users and groups>. I am sure it worked before, what can be the prob (...)

Hello, I have a Global Action that allows users to Generate a copy of the form. This action worked with Read only access before we upgraded to version 2023.1.2.124. Now it is giving an error message to users and when I looked up the error it states users need elevated access.("User has not sufficient permission to edit WorkFlow instance"). Is there any work around to this or maybe a different action that would allow people to be able to print even if the task is not with them and don't have edi (...)

This is the first step I have in my automation. Unfortunately Categ (...)

Hi all! I am currently struggling with 'Add privileges' action. I want to use a predefined datasource (SQL query based on WFElements), this is shown under (1) in attached picture. The datasource I am using selects all elements from a specific formtype and needs additional filtering in SQL query window (2). But I am unable to do that, every attempt so far resulted in syntax error. I am sure there is a trick (which is maybe undocumented), please help! Thanks a lot in advance & be (...)
