Hi Daniel,
already tried it, without success unfortunately.
Webcon uses Chroma.js to validate if color is hex or standard named color, there is a `valid` function, which calls for `color` class instantiation and this one prints an error in console.
At least that's what i think is going on :)

Hi Vitalii,

This is possible already, see the attached screen. Please remember you need to hit the save button once the local variable has been created. Then you will see it alongside form fields.

Hi Maks,

It’s just something I came up with but I haven’t tested it, maybe you can check whether you can reference a variable in the style property. This way you could add the variable value to the custom themes.

Best regards,

Currently, “Add privileges ” and “Remove privileges ” actions cannot be used in cyclic actions
Adding the ability to use this action could help cyclic action to check item permissions and remove them.

Hi.

we've implemented some global form rules e.g. a developer on screen mode that displays meta data of fields (instead of turning on dev tools) - a knowledge base article will follow later. Small work in progress preview teaser in the attached screenshot. ;)

Right now it is necessary to add this global form rule to all main form behavior sections manually to get this loaded.

It would be great if one would have a global function in system settings like it is for global CSS for form rules that shall be loaded for all forms automatically when set. Maybe it could be realized like it is with data sources. This means one has to connect a global form rule in system settings to forms individually or with the global option "load global form rule to all forms". The last idea would just need a new checkbox in global form rule configuration "load for all forms" or a configuration "load for all selected forms". The "load for all forms" global form fields could be displayed greyed out (read-only) in the main form behavior section.

What do you think about?

Kind Regards
Sébastien

It would be nice to have, especially for end users, at this moment such validation can be done on path transition, which isn't the nicest way.

Hi,
we've already got this one on the user voice, although it might be forgotten since the under review is there for some time :)

Can't say how many times i've tried this, would be a great feature, hopefully in the new web designer studio ;)

Hello,
since the new UI we've got much more users on the dark theme of webcon, it brought however a few new challenges with custom colors on controls / lists.

At this moment we are able to set custom css styles - background/text using attribute configuration:
https://docs.webcon.com/docs/2025R2/Studio/Process/Attribute/General/Attribute_StyleAndBehavior

It however lacks the possibility to make the color dependant on the theme, which causes in many cases unreadable text - see attached examples.
In most cases we're just switching colors to have contrast somewhere in the middle to both Webcon themes, so it looks equally ugly on both of them :)

Maybe a possibility to define a custom global css properties through system configuration, and use those properties in those configs would be something possible to implement?
Or from another angle - add possibility to define custom css properties on Theme configuration page?

Hi,

while we can create business rules which act similar to table valued / scalar functions, we can't pass the columns/data to them. The inner business rules are executed before the outer SQL command is executed. This comes in really handy in a lot of cases but also has it's limitation and will require creating repetitive code.

I would suggest the following:

Create a new "type" "SQL function"

Properties would be similar to a business rule:
Name : GetFirstTextPart
Description: Will split the text by the line break character and return the first part of the text. If no line break character is present, the input will be returned.
SQL Command
CASE
WHEN CHARINDEX(CHAR(10), {Parameter:1}) > 0 THEN LEFT({Parameter:1}, CHARINDEX(CHAR(10), {Parameter:1}) - 1)
ELSE {Parameter:1}
Number of rows to return: First row (scalar function), all rows (table valued)
Parameters:
Name: Input
Description: The complete text with the line break character.

When this is saved a function scalar/table valued is created and the bps_user gains execution permissions.

CREATE FUNCTION dbo.GetTextPartEN(@input NVARCHAR(MAX))
RETURNS NVARCHAR(MAX)
AS
BEGIN
RETURN
CASE
WHEN CHARINDEX(CHAR(10), @input) > 0 THEN LEFT(@input, CHARINDEX(CHAR(10), @input) - 1)
ELSE @input
END
END


You could then use the variable of this new type like the other business rules
select *, {SQLFunction:1700:<xps><ps><p id="#SQLFunctionParameter:71#" v="Description" /></ps></xps>} as DescriptionEN
, {SQLFunction:1700:<xps><ps><p id="#SQLFunctionParameter:71#" v="Remark" /></ps></xps>} as RemarkEN

Which would resolve to
select *, dbo.GetTextPartEN(Description) as DescriptionEN,dbo.GetTextPartEN(Remark) as RemarkEN

This came only to my mind now, because I'm creating a lot of "repetitive statements" in a few data tables, but when I think back, it would have helped me in a lot of other cases two.

Best regards,
Daniel
