Hello, I want to download data from REST Web service, which has collection type, but I can't map it because there is no type of attribute like that in Webcon. Can it be handled comehow?

Ok, now that my PS script is running, in this particular instance I need to grab a variable result and assign that value to a form field. Simply assigning the Form Field = $psvar isn't working. Is this possible?

Awhile back I was able to run PS scripts via an action without any issues. I don't use them much, primarily when playing around with what is possible. However I have a need for them now, but they will not run from webcon. I am running the powershell with an account that has the correct permissions. I have verified by running powershell on the webcon server with the account and testing the script. I see the following error in event viewer. PowerShell Error Message=WCF Service can be executed o (...)

Hello everyone, I tried to make an action with the Active Directory - Manage users function. When I start the action on the path I always get an Access denied message. I put the example screenshot and the fault message in the attachment. Is there anything else important what I have to consider in the settings? I am grateful for any help! Maximilian

Hi everyone! I'm facing a problem and hoping to hear that you might have a clue on what to do. I've a process that creates users in AD. However the user creating action expects a parameter of username in format DOMAIN\USERNAME. My domain users have changed UPN logins to their e-mail adresses (e-mail domain is different than my local domain name) in order to have one login in every system. Is there a way to create AD users providing their e-mail (UPN) as login? Has anyone came across such issue? (...)

Hi Community, After the deployment of version 2021.1.3.178 the subworkflows that start after a flow control step are no longer working. I have multiple cases in my company where I need to use a flow control step to evaluate if the subworkflow should start or not and it stopped working after I got the update. I don't know how to fix it or come up with an workaround and I'm awaiting on the support. This happening for all control fields, even if there is no subworklow starting. Anyon (...)

Hello all, Does anyone tried to use the concat function using a form field? I have a form field that is single text and I want to use it plus another info like below: concat ('AaAA' 'Form Field') But I'm always getting an error saying that the rule is not correct, I tried to use a SET before and keep the information in another field but it doesn't allow to save. Anyone used this already? Thank you!

I have the scenario, where i keep e-mail address and other informations in an itemlist. Now i need to send e-mails for each recipient in the itemlist. The e-mail contains informations from other columns in this list. By having three entries in the itemlist, there would be three e-mails with different content to be sent. Currently i'm thinking about creating a simple workflow to send an e-mail. The workflows would be started with the "Start a subworkflow (SQL)" action based on the itemlist con (...)

Hi everyone, maybe I'm missing something, but is there an option to create multilingual custom emails? Example: A task is assigned to three users, one of them has set the portal language to English the other ones are using German. If we are using the "standard mail action" or activate the corresponding checkbox two mails will be send. One in English for the first one and another one in German for the remaining two. If we want to send a custom mail though, I don't have an option for defining mul (...)

Hello, I've just come accross a slight problem with updating an item list. I have a list of items (emplayee, year, number of days available). The list is being initialized at the registraton step with all the employee names (70 rows). I've also created seperate attribute fields for year and number of days and would like to type let's say "2022" in the year field (the separate one outside the list) and clone it to all the items on the list. The "update item list action" requires a unique ID of ro (...)

We have a supporting workflow which is being started via hot-folder. The name of the attached file is then being analysed (we have a naming convention) and based on the attributes we want to move the file to a target workflow elements. Is there a way to do this via standard actions? I've struggled to find one and we might be required to create a sdk action to copy the file.

Hello, I've recently got an email about error about action execution on timeout. Is it new functionality? Because I've never seen that. Is it also available on old sharepoint forms?

Hello everyone! I have one question, because it is not obvieus to me. When I set an infinite timeout somewhere in a step in the beginning of the process - does the timeout stop when the process reaches one of the end steps, or does it go on and on an on? ;-)

Hello, I tried use action "Invoke SOAP Web Services", but I get this error "dll was not found" I tested using another platform for Api development and it works. Thanks regards, Raluca Lupu

Hello all!! Does anyone configured a rule where the action goes on each row of an item list and if a row has option A for a specific column then column B cannot be empty? There are some new functions for the item list but they only work as form rules and for action (even creating a business rule, form rules don't work as it needs to a TRUE/FALSE result). Even using SQL Command I think it would only work for a subquery because I need to check the value on each row. I've used the Select (...)

Hello all! I have a process where the user will be entering Addresses and I'm saving the new entries in a Dictionary. I have the subworkflow set up and it's working but I need to add some rules in order to not create duplicates neither empty rows. For my case, the information to be checked will be Customer Name and Address (because a customer name can have more than one address). I was trying to follow the query below but I'm not sure on how to add the dictionary there (in the database d (...)

Hello, I need to find a way to automatically delete some workflow instances. I know that we can use the Archive workflow instance action, but it doesn't work. In the reports menu, we have a section named "Archive workflow instances queue", I found all my instances there, but I need a way to delete them all automatically
