Hello,

We have a process where certain tasks are assigned as DW (CC) tasks.

The issue is that there is currently no way to filter these DW(CC) tasks in the task view. However, if a user has at least one standard task in a given process instance, DW tasks for that instance become searchable and can be filtered as usual.

Could you please confirm whether this is expected behavior, or if there is a supported way to enable consistent filtering of CC tasks?

Hi Wawrzyniec,

I can confirm that using the mapping to an extension attribute works well as Maksymilian suggested. It's really easy to set up (just enter the attribute name in the right column) but needs to be done on all environments using the same extension attribute number.

You can upvote my user voice that suggests to add some default attributes to the default WEBCON mapping here:

This is a bug fixed in version 2026.1.6.209, according to the changelog:
• Fixed an issue with special character encoding in queries sent to REST data
sources. The problem occurred when using Picker field filter tags, which could
cause special characters in passed values to be interpreted incorrectly.

Hi all,
I have a problem with a choice field in an item list that uses a REST Web Service as its data source.

When the text entered in the field contains certain special characters — specifically & or < — the autocomplete request fails and the data is not fetched. Based on the logs, the request doesn't even reach my endpoint — it fails inside WEBCON while building/serializing the request.
Environment:

WEBCON BPS 2025.1.1.44
Data source type: REST Web Service
Endpoint: custom/internal, fully under my control
HTTP method: POST (special characters are sent in the JSON request body)

Error from logs:
url: https://[internal-host]/api/nav/db/1/app/7/element/4256/autocomplete/search
action: SearchForAutocomplete
ip: 192.168.x.x
agent: Mozilla/5.0 (Windows NT 10.0; Win64; x64) AppleWebKit/537.36
(KHTML, like Gecko) Chrome/146.0.0.0 Safari/537.36 Edg/146.0.0.0
msg: An unhandled exception has occurred while executing the request.
ex: System.Exception: Błąd pobierania danych ze źródła o nazwie:
Lista producentów ID: 93

It looks like the issue is related to XML special character escaping somewhere during the serialization of the request body — the request fails before it ever leaves WEBCON, so the endpoint itself can be ruled out.


Has anyone encountered this before? Any suggestions on how to work around it — escaping the input on the WEBCON side, a known fix in a later patch, or any configuration trick — would be greatly appreciated.

Thanks in advance!

Have you granted system administrator privileges in DS to the new database, and do you have db_owner privileges for the new database in SQL?
Do the application pool user and the WebCon Workflow Service also have db_owner privileges for the new database?

No, I haven’t tried that yet.

The issue is that a Base64 string can contain slashes (/). In JSON, those may be escaped as \/, which should normally be handled correctly by the API. Unfortunately, the API I’m calling seems to treat the escaped characters literally, so the request fails.

Did you try a Business Rule with CONTENT AS BASE64(attid)?

If you have stopped email sending in the dev environment, why not migrate all data to a diffrent platform altogether? I used the SysTools IMAP Migration tool to get the job done.

You can also get your copy and migrate without risk: https://www.systoolsgroup.com/imap/migration/

Hi,
I'm not using currently AAD nor the Employee ID column, although from a brief research it seems like it should work with just correct setup of synchronization, and mapping of extension attributes, as from what i've found Employee ID is an extension attribute.

Open up this* window in Designer studio, in Columns Mapping add in employeeId** column, run the sync, and check if the data is fetched :)
