Hi, after creating/registering an API application, a user is automatically created. For instance, if the API app is named "something", the created user is named "something - Registered App". This user needs access rigts for the app/process it need access, and that's clear. But, api actions are also performed by that user, and this name is visible (for example - if we start the workflow over API, workflow instance is started by "something - Registered App"). So, how can I change the user (...)

Hello, we are using the API to create workflow instances by another system. We are also checking if this workflow has already been created.

Is there a way to access archived workflows via API? Thanks (...)

Hi, will there be an alternative to the current option the "Searching structures" offers in 2026? https://community.webcon.com/posts/post/platform-compatibility-roadmap/236/10 This is one feature I'm using on a regular basis. Either when I'm creating a new application and I don't want to bother with reports at this point in time or when doing support in production environments. Am I'm the only one who is using it? Best regards, Daniel

At the moment, it saves the server restart, but it's not an elegant solution.
