Hello, I'm having a case, where I need to display last comment, author of the comment, and date on a Data Table attribute. I don't want to move the comments, to parent flow, as this will create a lot of mess due to lots of child flows. I thought this could be a built in feature, same as we can select last comment in buisness rules context, we could access it from reports, and webcon data sources, so it would be easy to display it.

An error (lack of privileges) in executing the Generate/Update a Word file triggered from the Menu button by a user who had privileges to read an instance but not to edit it. This is happening after upgrade to version 2023.1.2.124. It was working in previous version we were using. It would be great if we can go back to allowing users with read only access to generate a word file. Thank you

Hi, I think it would be beneficial if we could have a place in the global configuration where we can define custom default values for the steps and paths of dictionaries / document templates. For example I always rename the "Dictionary step" to "Entry". Of course, I also define translations for the the step and paths. Therefore it would be great, if we could define the translations for the step and path on a global level too. Best regards, Daniel

Hi, Maybe it would be a good idea for a new automation to be created by default to receive the name of the element for which it was created. This would help keep the system tidy, reduce the workload for each time you assign a name,. And for people who prefer other names, nothing will change because you will have to enter your name anyway.

I believe it would be useful to allow "tagging" people (example - @jaroslaw) in comments section. After such a mention, the person would get a notification with a link to the workflow. What do you think?

Dear All, maybe in Studio there could be a check option if signature format is used by any other process or form type? When you have many processes it gets harder to keep all acronyms unique. What do you think?

Could you please consider adding a setting that would align all input fields left/right/center? It's a little annoying having all fields aligned left and only floating-point values aligned right.

Can you add path button style options (in Global parameters - appearance) for every path color available in a workflow diagram (8 colors) ? So, changing a path color should apply corresponding button style in the path. This would greatly improve development time, in a big workflow entering path button style for every path is time consuming. Also, this will keep colors consistent between workflow diagram and the form.

Hi @all, I´ve many processes they use the same rest-request to fill choice fields, table, etc. But the request requires a dynamic values in _url-parameter_ or _request-body_. At the moment i´ve to clone the *same* data source for every process... not nice ;-) ! A parameter would solve the problem - like as parameter into rules! Thanks and best regards Daniel

We are coming across scenarios, where it is required to audit the views and not only changes on an element. Ideally we would be able to configure the audit level: - View element - View attachment - Download attachment - View in report (elements retrieved and displayed on reports) - Edit element - Delete element As additional auditing is likely to have performance impacts and also increase the database quite fast, it would be better to enable auditing on process level only. Maybe i (...)

The preview generation functionality should be somehow improved. Currently it is bound to how big the designer studio window is and implicitly how big the resolution of your monitor is. We have some very big workflows that won't fit on any screen and the preview would always be blurry and unusable.

In WEBCON the development is so fast and agile that it started to create bottlenecks in the deployment activity. We are using Azure DevOps and it would be great if some kind of pipeline could be created in order to start and deploy things in an automated manner.

Dear WebCon Team, the Concat function is a great advantage for text handling. Unfortunately, it is very hard or let's more say inconvenient, if you forgot a text part. In my understanding it is not possible to replace concat parts or even add text parts before or change there position. e.g. concat[Happy][Weekend!] so I would like to say "Happy easter Weekend!" for this I have to delete Weekend! and type easter and then type again Weekend! Of course in this case I just have to add it to the (...)

Hi, so HTML attributes are great, but only untill you try to do something with them - like hide for example... or export - import Seems like you keep them all in a single SQL field:-( So, some JS manipulation is needed, rule editor is useless. Can you make normal HTML attributes - every attribute in separate SQL field?

During a presentation there was a comment that the indicator (traffic light) icons are not easily distinguishable for colour blind people. It would be an improvement if the icons would have a different shape in addition to the colour. One idea would be a red square, orange triangle and green circle. In addition there was the question if it would be possible to provide a tooltip what each icon indicates. I've currently added an explanation above a data table but this won't help in a report. Ther (...)

Hello everyone, each time an instance is edited via a path, the attachments are duplicated in the database, even though they may not have been customized. Would it be possible for the attachments to only be duplicated if the current version has actually been edited? Best regards Marc

Hi Longtext field in substitutions panel would help helpdesk in their job ex. bussiness asks why substitution is added, and we could store such information in this field Best regards Kuba

Hi, if we are saving a workflow instance the form validation is ignored. This includes regular expression. In my opinion the regular expression should be checked and if they are not successful, saving should be prevented. Otherwise we will be able to save invalid data, which in turn can lead to issues, if the data is used in other workflows. In our case the field can be used as the display name of choose fields and we wanted to prevent the use of the special characters ; and #. The atta (...)

Hello, I need to look through xx documents one by one. I think that a very interesting solution would be a report that would allow you to jump element by element. For example, I have 100 documents to review and I don't have to go to each one individually, but move through the pages of a book in the report. Same think as is done on history element its possible jumping one by one change. Or Mebay its already implementent and i Dont know were it is ?:)
