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 rule (...)

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 exa (...)

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: Wil (...)

Hello, I propose a change in DEsigner Studio, in action templates. If the ability to create action groups in templates were added, it would make it easier to manage actions in the case where there are more than 10 in the process. It would then be possible to group and arrange actions thematically. Regards,

Hi, a small enhancement in addition to this user voice https://community.webcon.com/forum/thread/7044 would be to add a * to a group if a containing app is marked with a * because of unsaved changes. Kind Regards Sébastien

Hi, it would be nice if one could not only chose "CREATE RULE" in the context menu of a field supporting rules. An option "CREATE GLOBAL RULE" would be helpful if we want to turn a "local" rule to a "global" one. It is clear that not all options in a "local" rule can be turned to a global one but there are cases where there would be no problem. Kind Regards Sébastien

Hi, I would like to propose to extend the workflow users report in desinger to include either the date of first login or the date of license assignment. This would help in license management for administrators.

Hi, it would be really amazing if one could choose the credentials that have been used for "Active Directory Actions Configuration" in System Settings in the configuration of a "Run a PowerShell script" action. It's a mess having to copy & paste the same credentials every time. And if one day the password needs to be changed all action configurations have to be found and updated. Therefore it would be perfect if one could have in system settings an area to configure global credentials that (...)

I would like to suggest an enhancement to the user interface of Item List (tabular) form fields within the WEBCON BPS platform. [Current Limitation] At the moment, users are unable to freeze specific columns in Item Lists when scrolling horizontally. This often leads to usability issues, especially in wide tables, where the first few columns (e.g., item name or ID) get lost from view. [Proposed Improvement] Introduce a checkbox option per column in the form field configuration that a (...)

I would like to propose an enhancement related to the handling of private views created by users in reports. [Current Limitation] At present, even users with administrative privileges cannot determine whether a given report contains any private views created by other users. This limitation makes it significantly more difficult to manage and support users, especially when diagnosing issues related to non-standard report behavior. [Proposed Improvement] I suggest adding functionality (...)

Hi, until two hours ago, I would have said, that you can't use AI to help with SQL command generation and documentation. Then I started playing around VS Code. My POC switched my opinion completely. Can something like this be added. :) The first two images is the generation of an SQL statement and how the result is interpreted by the Designer Studio. The last image is the documentation of an existing function. This would really be great. :) Daniel

Hi, it would be great if it would be possible to set prefix and suffix for integer form fields too like it is for floating-point form fields. The workaround to use a floating-point form field and to set decimal places is known but not the intuitive way. Kind Regards Sébastien

Hi, after sending a knowledge base article there is no possibility to display it. An edit mode function would also be nice to fix typos or improve the article. Kind Regards Sébastien

Hi, it would be nice if one could also create global form groups in system settings and not only single global fields. A use case would be address fields street, number, city, zip, country, ... with advanced configurations to data sources, reg exp and so on. In each app where this information is needed one could directly use this global form group. Kind Regards Sébastien

Hi, it would be nice if one could also create new groups for global fields and automations in system settings like it is for global constants, form rules and business rules. Kind Regards Sébastien

Currently, since version X of Webcon when you add 4 or more attachments, all categories collapse with attachments. Suggestion to add a collapse configuration that you could set in the workflow/process from how many attachments you want the attachment category sections to collapse or default everything expanded. What do you think WEBCON community?

Hi, unfortunately there seems to be no configuration for output parameters in PowerShell script invoke actions. This is much needed to get back calculated values, created logs or whatever else. The workaround from Daniel is not really convenient: https://daniels-notes.de/posts/2021/retrieve-ps-variable-value It would be really nice if one could define input and output parameters like in other automation. In our ESM-tool from Matrix42 the configuration of parameters/variables is describ (...)

Hi, because of compliance reasons it is not allowed without approvals to enable AI functions in our company. After installation of R2 the new AI assistant is available in Designer Desk and there seems to be no way to disable it with a switch in system settings globally or per user individually. This would be nice if this functionality would be given in a next release. Setting it individually per user would be great because different user groups could be defined. The one with AI competence (...)

I would like to suggest a feature: It would be very useful to have a synchronization mechanism between the Webcon Portal and Entra ID that automatically imports user profile pictures. The goal is to ensure that these profile pictures are not only visible in the Webcon user profile but also available in form fields of type “User” (User Formfield). Thanks, Julius!
