(...) Hello community! Maybe this is a very basic question, but I am asking it anyway ;-) I tried out OnTimeOut action , but after some experiments it is very unclear to me, how this is expected to work. I added one time out action with Type: Minute, Interval (minutes): 1, Repetition count: Infinite and 1 action below which basically changes the value of a single field. My expectation was, that this field (...)

(...) Dear All, sorry if this is an extremely easy question, but how do I select printer in action Print barcode label? I have an option to select primary printer and accounting printer.

(...) but I guess there is no such possibility. Or am I wrong? UPDATE: I managed to get on callback the list of dependant item IDs and the main item IDs both in separate attributes. I managed to create action s that I want to perform the desired tasks in a path.

(...) My goal now is to merge/combine both files together into one final PDF for storage. Searching online i only found this source related to my problem: https://community.webcon.com/posts/post/sdk-action s/143 ..which briefly states "Merging several PDFs into one" could be possible.

(...) At this pointthe only way to generate multiple word documents is to create multiple action s, or if you have a dynamic number of documents, you should use subworkflows.

This can also
