Hi,

you can make use of global business rules and form field values in a data source.

The attached screenshot is from a REST data source and the field is selected from "All form fields" . If the data source is executed, it takes the value of the field (table column) of the current instance. So the data source is no longer generic but specialized for this one process, but you can make use of these.

I don't know since when the "All form fields" option is available but I did not notice it before last year. :)

Best regards,

Hi,
I had a similar case.
It ended up with the same idea you are writing about - a separate technical table for storing data from the REST API and next SELECT on this table and join the WEBCON tables with other data.
In my case, the data was updated once a day by global action

I also thought about the SDK custom data source, but the table was easier/faster ;)

Theoretically, webcon has the ability to enable filtering REST data source on the BPS side, but you can't even use business rules there, so you can't combine it with SQL query.

Maybe someone has another idea...

Hi, I am currently working on some tool management workflow in WEBCON and I have a problem. I have an items list with REST API as data source where user can pick and book tools for some time period. Time period property is not included in REST API so I'm using form fields for booking dates. Then I need to filter the items list using tools from REST API and dates from WEBCON database to exclude unavailable tools. Unfortunately i didn't find the way to do it using the REST API filter available in WEBCON. My plan is to create some table in WEBCON, fill it with data from API and then use SQL for filtering. Is there maybe a better way to do it?

Hi Jack,
It worked thank you for your help!

Hi,
when you try to delete business entity, designer studio should show you a list of all uses this entity.
You have to "unlink" the entity from all uses and then you can delete it

Can I delete business entity ?
Even if not active, it's being used like everywhere, where the "business entity" field exist or any start with list is used.

I'm sorry, I should have put a little bit more thought into it before I answered: Now I have only caused confusion. There's a reason why I added a similar user voice in the past..

This works only in data rows and table but not if it's used in a choose field.

Best regards,

Hi,
check what you have selected in the path parameters
If you have something other than the first option, user with edit rights can leave the step

thanks Daniel - I don't know if I understood correctly but unfortunately it doesn't work for me :(

Hello all,

I'm not sure if this is something that changed in the versions or I'm missing any configuration.

I checked that users with the access 'Access and Edit all Instances' are allowed to select Available Paths even if they're not the assigned person.
I know that although having the rights to edit the instances, it couldn't be moved and that yellow message was shown because another person was the assignee. This is not happening in my processes and I'm not sure if that was something changed with the new releases or I'm missing any configuration.

I want a department to be able to check and edit instances but if they are assigned to another person, they cannot move the request to another step.

Did you faced something like that?
Thank you
