Forms
Hi, I’m looking for a solution to hide comments for a specific user, including in the element history. Webcon has a form rule that hides comments, but only on the form itself. The configuration in the field matrix does not hide comments in the history. Also, I cannot use the option to restrict access to the history due to privilege settings.
Hi, there seems to be an unexpected behavior when duplicating autocomplete choice pickers with target fields between processes. Steps for reproduction: Choose a Proces P1 Create a single value form field S Create a choice picker autocomplete form field C Set one of the columns of the autocomplete as target field of field S Save Process P1 Copy this autocomplete to another process P2 Check the advanced configuration of the autocomplete field and confirm that there is no target field (...)
Hi, I’d like to ask if it’s possible to trigger a REST request action when a form opens while loading default values or on onchange field. For instance, when a user creates a new element, the email address is assigned to the 'Person' field as a default value. I would then like to trigger a REST action to fetch data from an external API based on that value and load the remaining form fields. Currently, the only workaround I know is using a additional transition path (e.g., "Calculate") wit (...)
Hi, I'm confused about defining a new form for a specific step in my worfklow. The step's settings view (as seen here: https://docs.webcon.com/docs/2026R2/Studio/Workflow/Step/Step_FormView/) supposedly gives me the ability to define a new form (with the settings inheritance broken) but it doesn't seem to work and I don't think I understand the purpose of this function. When I define a new form there, select it from the dropdown, and save & publish, nothing seems to happen. The default form i (...)
It seems that the alert/confirmation dialog on a required comment does have an issue (see screenshot). Kind regards Ernst
I have this strange issue, at least second time. Not sure if I had it on pre 2026.1.6.198 builds. When I move a field (or a group) on the form in Designer studio, for example from left to bottom section, on existing workflows it's still in the "old" place. When I start a new one, it's in the new place. So existing instances are stuck with old layout. See attached - same moment, new instance and old-saved one. Two different layouts.
Hi, How can I create a form in WEBCON BPS Designer Studio with four columns: field name, current value from an SQL table, new value to be entered,description for the entry? Just like in the screenshot. I need to display the current value to the user, and the user should be able to enter a new one.
Hi, I have a problem with the form. I get this message when I break inheritance on a step. I can't fix it. It affects the order of attributes, and I can't change their settings. Has anyone had a similar problem? Version ver. 2025.2.1.321
E.g. specifically when updating items lists on forms ! pageload vs on path vs on entry vs on exit ! What is the specific order on how things trigger? Is there another documentation other than the official docs? The docs dont tell me that much about such details for example Following example We have an id and that id can be referenced in 3 other fields! Those ids are saved in a db. The field should already exist in the db or is the same a new id that save. So far so good break with con (...)
I have form-validations that work correctly and catches errors correctly. It would be nice if I could sat the HTML-form focus on that particular element that was validated wrong! Any suggestions , I find it hard because form-validation only returns true or false i cant use it afterwards anymore
Hi, I need to update a related workflow and I want to use the “Update related workflow instance” action. However, I have a question. On the related workflow instance, the attribute I want to change has a form rule defined on value change — and I don’t want that rule to be triggered. I’ve done some tests and it seems that the form rule is not triggered when the instance is updated this way, but it might have been a coincidence / fluke. Can you confirm whether this is the expected behavior?
Item-list adds text value = "0" on <td> - tags Before the updated from R2 2025 to R1 2026 everything worked fine Now those Zeros are showing up in the item lists UPDATE: It has to do with items list row to edit set to 0 Why is it allowed to be set to 0 if it causes such a ruckus We debugged our way through it in the office. but it breaks quite some form fields and html code as a result !
Hi all, I am trying to add a button on the Start step of my Test process and I expect to see it directly on the start form (see image 1). The button configuration is very simple – it only resets a single text field to its default value (see image 2). I noticed that when I configure the same button as a global button, it appears only after the process is submitted. However, I would like to have this button visible and usable already on the Start step, before submitting the instance. (...)
Hi there, is there a chance to build a column filter on an items list? I have a few applications with long items lists and it would be very helpful, if I could filter them. Any ideas? Kind regards Klaus
Dear Community Members, As part of our ongoing efforts to improve Webcon, we are reviewing the current capabilities and future direction of the Item List feature. I would like to invite you to share your feedback, ideas, and real-world use cases related to Item Lists. Your input will help us better understand practical needs and prioritize potential enhancements. In particular, I am interested in: - Limitations you encounter when working with Item Lists (why they matter in your busines (...)
Hello I would like to ask you if there is a way to get an automatic document preview after opening workflow instance?
Hi, is it possible, to use the action 'mergeattachment' not only for attachments in ONE form but also in DIFFERENT forms? If not, is it possible via sql? In the attached picture there is a screenshot of the following sql-query of the webcon-database: select ATF_WFDID, ATF_OrginalName, ATF_OrginalValueHash from dbo.WFAttachmentFiles where ATF_WFDID > 9620 how can I export the word-docs as real word-docs to the filesystem of the server? Greetings Franz Mayer
Hi, i use the "Hyperlink"-actiontype for copying some values of a filled form to a new form (see attachment). That works very fine. But if I add a picture form field, the copy process failed with a message "HTTP Error 414. The request URL is too long" Is there any other possibility to copy a picture from a filled form to another new form? Thanks for reply Franz Mayer
Hi all! Maybe this question has already been asked. Is it possible to change the label of a field without hacking the DOM with Javascript? I found no built-in function to do this. We have some different form types using the same field, but it has some slightly different meaning dependent on the form type, so we thought we just change the title of the field. Any ideas? Thanks in advance & best regards, Nik
Hi everyone, I’m trying to display numeric values in WEBCON BPS Word printouts with thousand separators (for example, 1.000,00€ instead of 1000,00€). Interestingly, in Item Lists (tables) the formatting is shown correctly with thousand separators. However, in regular form fields (for example, floating-point numbers), the values are displayed without the separator. Is there a way to configure this for standard form fields as well? Any advice or best practices on how to achieve co (...)
