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 (...)

Hello, I have a problem while adding a barcode. The instance is moving to the next step but the action is not executing, does not show any error and is not even logged in the history and is not adding a barcode. Does anyone had this problem on the latest version( 2021.1.3.163 ) , some thoughts ?

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

Hello all, Hope you're doing great! Does anyone configured a rule that will color a cell in a item list upon value change? I have an item list that will be initialized with values and if the user changes one of them, I want that cell to be marked so it's easier to check the value. I have found some examples but it's using a rule (like > than X) and it's painting the entire row. In the new release there are new item list actions which allow to paint one cell but I don't know how to wr (...)

Hello, I am trying to create an "Add Barcode" action. After I set it up I was trying to test it and this error showed up (it was the first test, it never worked).

Hi, I am trying to connect to SOAP Webservice that has a structure with more than the allowed dept level (10). I tried to find the configuration for this setting, without any success. Has anyone else stumbled upon this issue?

Hi all! Does anyone configured a start worflow in sharepoint using an API? I've following the tutorial video (https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=C3hC1fAjvAk) to start a subworkflow using MS Flow (now called Power Automate) but when I need to configure the Get Token Action I only have the options in the picture and they are premium. Anyone with ideas? Using the json in the column of the item list is not working. Thank you!

Hello Gurus I'm trying to do such action: In my VS solution, I have made CustomAction that gets data from an external system as a list. I would like to return that list to ItemsList in my workflow. I have code like this: [ConfigEditableFormFieldID(DisplayName = "Pozycje nagłówka ", FormFieldTypes = WorkFlow.SDK.Objects.Enums.FormFieldTypes.ItemsList)] public List<Nagl_OT> Lista_Poz { get; set; } public class Nagl_OT { [ConfigEditableFormFieldID(DisplayName = "Numer SAT", FormFieldType (...)

Hello all, I want to set up an action to Add a new list element in a Sharepoint list where my URL will be different based on a form field. But when I'm selecting the list where I want to add my new elements, we can only choose the ones in that site content. Does anyone have any idea on this? Thank you all!!!

Hello together, I try to implement an CustomAction with Syncfusion. Now when I want to start my workflow I always get an error message that the file is missing. The photo of the fault is in the attachment. Has someone experience with this or knows how this must be implemented? In VS I installed the Syncfusion nugget, I can compile the project without problems. Thank you very much. Maximilian
