Hello everyone! I have an item list with a dropdown field where user chooses a WFD_ID value. I would like to execute an action (Update related workflow instance or Invoke REST web service) passing the WFD_ID chosen in the mentioned field to the action. Is something like that even possible? I can't find a solution myself. Thank you, M.

Hello, I have a short question. I want to generate an Excel file with my data from the BPS datasource. I created an Excel template with a worksheet(test) and a table(myTable) and a action create excel. I write the assignment like this: test!myTable and my data to the right cell. But I always get an error. (Invalid cell name) If I just want one data set and just write the cell names for each like test!A2, it works perfectly. What am I doing wrong? Thanks for some hints, Mario

Hello, After upgrading to 2023.1.1.89 I'm getting error "Attempting to launch workflow instance for a form type not connected with the current workflow." I found out that the reason for this error is wrong workflow ID in hyperlink function. Everything works well on dev environment but after export and import on test environment hyperlink is not working causing above error. It seems that Workflow ID tag isn't "translated" during the import process and remains the same on TEST like it was on D (...)

Use case: We are using an offer process/workflow, where we fill in the costs in a table - e.g. columns "descripition, quantity, price per unit, total price." In case the offer is accepted and we'll need a change request of the costs we need a two separate process steps. The first step will start the change request, opening two additional columns in the table - "quantity for change request, total price for change request". This can be done for every existing row in the table. In the next wor (...)

Hi, If I am reading documentation correctly action Add attachment allows copy/move attachment from another workflow to current instance. My case is opposite: 1. I have an invoice approval workflow which in the end requires (business requirement) adding payment confirmation (PDF) from banking systems. Manual process is very time consuming. 2. Each payment confirmation has in transfer's description instance signature from the invoice workflow. 3. I've created another workflow, which is mo (...)

Hi, I am using webcon bps designer studio v. 2022.1.2.31 and I don't have actions like "Read barcode" or "Add a barcode". I just don't have these types of actions to choose from. Any idea why?

There are two date fields in our workflow. To pass the process to the next workflow step, we use an action "on timeout". Checking for a date field works. However, we need a condition for the timeout that takes both date fields into account: If date field 2 is non-empty take this date for the timeout, otherwise take date 1 for the timeout. Can this be implemented with an "on timeout" action and if so, how?

Hi! Is possible using REST WEB SERVICE to sent: { "type": 0, "firm": 0, "id": 0, "ord": 0, "description": "string", "lines": [ //Item list { "ord": 0, "value": 0, "type": 0, "percent": 0, "direction": 0, "dimensions": [ { "id": 0, "type": 0 }, { "id": 0, "type": 0 } ] } ] } When I use 'Json grid' I do (...)

Hello all, Does anyone configured a validation rule and/or control field where you need to check if the lines added in a item list were already added in another instance? I have a process for overtime registration and I want to block the user to add a new instance with dates that were already added for the same person in webcon. I've created a control field but now all the processes are moved to cancel even if the values are different. Can you help? Thank you

Hello, I have a workflow and a final step where i execute "On a timeout" automation. But sometimes, it is not executing because it says it is checked out by the user.

Hi all! I am really struggling with this action. I am trying to send JSON data to a REST web service. JSON string is generated by a business rule, which contains a JSON Query (FOR JSON). Testing this business rule works fine, also umlauts are shown. My configuration in request body is body type: Binary, which is the only way to send dynamic JSON data. Somehow my encoding (which should be UTF-8) gets lost. I am sending Content-Type:application/json in binary part headers, my ass (...)

Hello all, I have an item list where I want to display some column color based on the value that will be the outcome of 2 dates. I would like something like if it's zero, the column should be green, if it's between 0 and 30 days, it should be yellow and if more than 31 days, it should be red.

Hi all! We are using the action 'Invoke REST Web service' a lot, but there are some limitations I am struggling with. I want to download an Excel file using this action, using an external REST service. My first approach was to store the response body into a multi-line content field.

After saving file from Content field to disk, Excel (...)
