Data sources

Hi, Let's assume I'm configuring data from a data source (a report) with one column and one filter. I want to use a User-Defined API that allows me to dynamically filter the report using a defined endpoint. Will the response return a simple JSON with information from this single column, or will it return the entire data set (element ID, signature, step, etc.) as in other responses?

WEBCON works on ver. 2024.1.1.130. We have a few dashboards with created data sources for reports.

Hi, ver. 2025.2.1.91 Is there any changes to CTE SQL availability when used as a Data Source? After the update from version. 2025.2.1.42 to 2025.2.1.91 we found that all functions using CTE from Data Sources stopped working. Strange - when you use CTE in the action config, it still works. Can you confirm whether it is a bug or not ? Error: Error in On path action Wgrywa nadgodziny (zrodlo danych). (Step: Rozliczenie nadgodzin, path: Pobierz nadgodziny) Error getting data for (...)

Hi, we would like to pick a group in a form field and to use all members of this group as filter for another user picker field. Using the function GROUP MEMBERS [AD-Group Login and name] in a business rule works fine. Setting this one into an ALERT all members are returned as expected. Using 'testgroup' as string in the group picker of the function GROUP MEMBERS ['testgroup'] in a filter of a data source works fine and all members are returned as expected. But using the AD-Group field (...)
