Hi, it would be nice, if I could omit the element id in the "GET" request of a 'Action on a workflow instance' running mode. This would be more similar to other APIs and it wouldn't make it necessary to create a separate 'Get data from data source' endpoint. If OData support / paging would be a

Hi, it would be nice to move API definitions of the running modes 'Get data from data source' and 'Execution mode'. These are running outside the context of a workflow/process anyway and while you are going through multiple iterations you may want to consolidate these. Ok, there may be referen

Hi, I tried various approaches to return an actual NULL value via Execute Automation, this wasn't possible. Instead these are default values: Text: "" Decimal: 0 Boolean: false DateTime: 0001-01-01T00:00:00 https://daniels-notes.de/posts/2026/user-defined-api-part-4-execute-automation#no-

Hi, in my version (2026.1.6.198) there are a few limitations: - There are no time zone information. This applies to all running modes and even if I just use a Execute Automation and return an incoming date time value, the information is lost. https://daniels-notes.de/posts/2026/user-d

Hi, it would really be helpful if OData support could be added to the 'Get data from data source' running mode. This would allow to add custom filtering on addition to the one configured in WEBCON. Best regards, Daniel

Hi, the result of a 'Get data from data source' UDA is limited to a 1000 records. I can understand the reasoning but implementing a custom paging option for each endpoint is cumbersome. It would be great, if this would be handled by WEBCON. I'm currently using one of these approaches: https:

Hi, while I can image that there are currently higher priority tasks than improving the change control (change history) it could be a low hanging fruit to offer a small dialog in which we can store two/three fields which will then be saved in the database with all changes. For example, this woul

Hi Ernst, I would start with inspecting the request WEBCON executes and compare it to the one postman submits. I use HttpToolkit in these cases. Regardless, if you already have an option to get the content, you could use the add attachment action to generate to binary data for the attachment.

Hi, I'm not aware of any public link, you will probably get a link using the official page. https://webcon.com/demo/ Keep in mind that the new Freemium versions are now limited to a 90 day usage. I have in mind that this was introduced with the release of WEBCON 2026. Best regards, Daniel

Hi Franek, thank you that you took the time to investigate it and confirm the behavior. I also wasn't able to confirm how it looks like in the UI, as the servers and my client share the same settings. I will test it tomorrow, when I'm copying the solution to the customer environment which is

Hi Franek, thanks for the feedback. That was exactly the approach I wanted to use. This is the time I send via the REST API (patch/post) "value": "2026-04-23T09:06:05Z" But this is the time which is returned via the API (get) "value": "2026-04-23T09:06:05+02:00" Which is not what I had

Hi everyone, whenever you are working with times you are bound to run into issues. I think this has and will be a permanent truth when working with computers. I currently "just" want to write a date time to an item list column and won't to return the same value. Seems simple, but time zones

Hi everyone, assuming that I'm not doing anything wrong then this endpoints returns the collection of all attachments with their content. "https://$($WebconConfig.Hostname)/api/data/v7.0/db/$($WebconConfig.DatabaseId)/elements/$ElementId/attachments" $result = Invoke-WebconApiRequest -Method "G

Hi Ernst, while I haven't tried it you could add an action to the timer which set's the comment. Otherwise you could use this approach to check in a validate action if the user added a new comment: Get current comment https://daniels-notes.de/posts/2024/current-comment I'm not sure, wheth

Hi Michael, the only thing which comes to my mind would be an Application Proxy which doesn’t use passthrough for credentials. I don’t assume, that the default settings for the cookies have been modified. :) Thinking about cookies, the time zone/ date of the servers are ok? Best regards,

Hi Ernst, I would opt for the SDK option which was introduced with WEBCON 2025. Here’s an example for using certificates with SharePoint: https://daniels-notes.de/posts/2025/sharepoint-certificat-authentication-sdk Best regards, Daniel

It would really be great if WEBCON would provide an advanced Word action and it's on my wish list for a long time. :) User voice: Advanced Word generation using Aspose Template syntax https://community.webcon.com/forum/thread/3697?messageid=3697 There's also an example article [external] Cr

Hi Klaus, if you are setting the value form an action you could test to set the value in the 'id#Display name' format and deactivate the 'Validate the typed values'. If the user enters the data it will (should) still be validated because it's not in the expected format. Best regards, Daniel
