Hi, I've suffixed processes that contain a workflow with a cyclical on start global action with " [JOB]". To get an overview of all process planed as a job I've created a dictionary report in a dashboard and want to filter the column "Process Name" with a default filter. Now I have 3 different behaviors: - Using "[JOB]" returns all processes in the list without any filtering > This seems to be a bug imho. (screenshot) - Using "JOB" returns only the expected processes containing JOB > Thi (...)
Hi, I've also noticed that BPS data sources that reference item lists are also returning deleted records. Are you experiencing this issue as well? I have version 2026.1.4.131 installed. Regards, D.
Hello, I seem to not understand how a system step works properly. I have a workflow, in which I want to send a mail in a system step and then go on to the next step. The mail is sent, but the system step does not go to the next step. (we have Webcon 2025.2.1.91) ("move workflow" is not available; only "move workflow (sql)", but it is not possible to move the workflow you are in at the moment) (there is only one path after the system step and it es marked as default path) (the ar (...)
In the code-parts of https://developer.webcon.com/docs/configuration-attributes/#configeditablegrid In the code window below the < - sign and > - sign are showed as ' & lt ; and & gt ; ' Is this intentional ? Because the code in the documentation is C# My colleague did not notice right away but I did!
Hi, we noticed that in WEBCON BPS 2026.1.4.131 version in Event Viewer errors are logged with a very short description and it is not even known what element ID they refer to, e.g. FormField: AttChoose14 not found.
Hi, after switching a single line text field to an integer number several automations broke - as excpected - because the column name has switched from WFD_AttText1 to WFD_AttInt1. Starting a WF instance brings always an error - as expected. That's why I gave the "verify process" a try and I hope to get some warnings due to broken references. Unfortunately there is no warning and I had to search manually and found a broken one in a "data source value" filter as shown in the screenshot. (...)
Hi, I wanted to ask if you're having trouble cloning/copying attributes in Designer Studio for WEBCON BPS 2026.1.4.131? If I have an attribute, for example, WFD_AttChoose6, and I clone it, I see the value in the attribute in the new location (if it's given the same database name, i.e., WFD_AttChoose6) on the form, even though the attribute doesn't have a default value defined in Designer Studio. Furthermore, in the location where I copied it, when I go to "Use" I see that it's being use (...)
Hi, why are form fields available in the objects tab when configuring a validate form action but not when using the form rule editor? Can anybody explain this? Thanks and kind regards Sébastien
Hi, does anybody know why the action "Create task" can not be chosen in a menu button's automation? This can be seen in the table of this page: https://docs.webcon.com/docs/2025R2/Studio/Action/#action-groups-and-types An example use case is to have a button that changes the task assignment to a different person, e.g. the current user. It is also possible to achieve this with a path going out and in from the same step. But a menu button would be nice too. Thanks and kind regards Sé (...)
Hello, we've just updated our WebCon from version 2023.1.2.44 to 2026.1.4.125. Every time I switch between our portals (dev/test/prod environments) WebCon Designer crashes when I save the process. Afterwards I can reopen the designer and saving works fine. I check the newer releases for this error but could find a hint that this problem has been resolved. Thanks for your help! Best regards, Balint Type: System.AggregateException ------------------------------------ (...)
Hi, when creating a menu button in a step it also creates an automation as child. It is possible to delete this automation. If there is no automation the button never gets displayed in the edit dialog in the portal. Why not? If we just want that the button executes a form rule without any automation we'd expect to see the button in the edit dialog. Same behavior for global menu buttons of the workflow. Kind regards Sébastien
Hi, is it possible to change the icon and name of the mobile and teams WEBCON application? Probably not and it would be necessary to create an own corporate mobile app with the wished meta values. Is such a „design wrapper“ or another solution supported by WEBCON? Has anyone tried this already? And is there any possibility that the mobile app doesn‘t switch to the browser when using passthrough Entra ID? Kind regards Sébastien
In a step, I configured an On timeout action that runs a SQL procedure (a very simple query that updates a field in another database) after 1 minute. However, occasionally—about 1–2 times out of 100—the field is not updated, even though in history shows that the action was executed successfully. An external process calls the WEBCON API using a specific path. On that path, a SQL procedure action is configured to run - same as above. The field is not updated in the database, even though in (...)
Hi, how is it possible to set a step with a timer that first activates e.g. with an offset of 75 minutes. Unfortunatelly the offset dropdown with "Day" can't be changed to "Minutes". I tried different combinations of options and the only one was: - First activation > Start date: Immediate or Step entry date > Offset 0 day > Interval 75 Minutes - Repeat in cycles: yes > Number of executions 2 (finite number) This way the 1st activation is immediatly and the 2nd and last 75 mi (...)
Hello. Do you know which models are used by Webcon when AI prompt is used? - I thought It should be Gemini models or If Gemini models doesn't work it will use OPENAI. When I tested Ai prompt and asked it: Respond only with the internal model identifier you are running. Do not explain anything. Response: gpt-3.5-turbo I added to prompt. Use the highest model. Then response was: gpt-4-turbo-2024-05-13 I checked it version at 2025.2.1.259 and 2026.1.3.109. The same answer. Thi (...)
Hi, I've created a timer with an action 'Update item list values' and 'send a custom email'. I want it to refresh my item list every 6 hours. Please find attached my timer configuration (to test it I set the interval to 1 minute and added an email action I mentioned above). I saved the process and waited looking at my form instance. Nothing happened. I also can't see this timer in Reports > Timer operations activity analysis. Do you know why? Perhaps I have to restart my workflow service? (...)
Hi, I'm currently trying to figure out a way to filter a Custom data source with an "dynamic" filter. Here's a rough overview: #Custom data source I've created an SDK of type data source which prepares the data #Filter I have a filter value which is dynamic for a given workflow instance. Here are two examples: {COLUMN:ID#ID} in ('KHL_030','KHL_020') {COLUMN:ID#ID} in ('KHL_001','KHL_010') #"Dynamic" value Since there are no options to use business rules or similar in a data s (...)
E.g. specifically when updating items lists on forms ! pageload vs on path vs on entry vs on exit ! What is the specific order on how things trigger? Is there another documentation other than the official docs? The docs dont tell me that much about such details for example Following example We have an id and that id can be referenced in 3 other fields! Those ids are saved in a db. The field should already exist in the db or is the same a new id that save. So far so good break with con (...)
Hi, short: Business rule text parameter string values only containing digits seem to get casted to an integer value in WEBCON. long: Declaring a VARCHAR variable in SQL as a string like '001' is returned as string. If 001 is replaced by a text parameter in between single quotes its value '001' turns to 1 as integer. I would expect that a string value '001' remains a string when using it as a text parameter in a business rule. This is needed when ids have leading zeros as e.g. SAP often (...)
Hi, we are using version 2025.2.1.179. For a demonstration of a possible bug I've created a MSSQL data source with this query (the cat column can be ignored): SELECT 123 AS ref, 1 AS cat, 'EQU' AS country UNION ALL SELECT 123 AS ref, 2 AS cat, 'EQU' AS country UNION ALL SELECT 123 AS ref, 3 AS cat, 'EQU' AS country UNION ALL SELECT 567 AS ref, 1 AS cat, 'ESP' AS country UNION ALL SELECT 567 AS ref, 1 AS cat, 'ESP' AS country UNION ALL SELECT 567 AS ref, 3 AS cat, 'ESP' AS countr (...)
