Thank you. I do the same, but as you mentioned, it's not user-friendly :)

This is definitely something that could be improved. Adding logic to the templates would also be helpful.

Unfortunately, I haven't found a sensible way to edit those fields directly once the table has been generated.

Whenever I need to make a changes, like adding a new column or renaming things I usually find it’s much faster to just delete the old table and insert a new one with the correct settings.
Technically, you can try selecting a column header as an individual element and editing it that way, but it’s not very user-friendly and often ends up being more trouble than it's worth.

Thank you. I understand there's no way to do this directly in the template. But there are a few workarounds we can use.

By the way, do you know how to edit the settings of an inserted list of elements? When adding the list of elements options in the dialog box, we can select columns, order, etc. After clicking OK, a table appears in the document. Is there a way to edit the settings of such a table? For example, changing the order of columns, adding a column?

Hi Arek,

You can handle conditional logic in .docx templates using these two methods:

Business Rules with SQL logic: This is the easiest way to display conditional phrases or paragraphs. Create a Business Rule (SQL type) that returns either the desired text or an empty string ('') based on your criteria.
Then, just place the rule’s tag in your Word template where you want the text to appear.

Dynamic Template Selection: If the documents differ significantly (e.g., a different contract for individuals vs. companies), it's better to prepare separate .docx templates. In the configuration of the "Generate/Update Word file" action, you can use a Business Rule to dynamically return the ID of the template the system should use.

Is there any way to use logic in a docx template? For example, conditional logic—displaying a paragraph (or table, or simple word/phrase) depending on the value of a field?

Hi Klaus,

if you are setting the value form an action you could test to set the value in the 'id#Display name' format and deactivate the 'Validate the typed values'. If the user enters the data it will (should) still be validated because it's not in the expected format.

Best regards,

Hi there.

I'm struggling with the behaviour of choice fields (especially if I start a workflow element via SQL) if the value put into the field is not in the data source or not distinkt.
I remember that in earlier Versions it would have started the new element, highlighted the value with red underlining and refused to go on, unless a valid value was entered, but the element has been created and the "wrong value" was in there.
Nowadays it will give an error, not create the new item and do a rollback.

Is there any way to tell the field to accept (besides switching the mode by clicking on the pen which doesn't work automatically) that value ?

Thanks for any hint!
Kind regards,
Klaus

Version 2025.2.1.274

The change log of release 2026.1.6.198 from 2026-04-21 states that the alternative is now available:

Quote:

Added the ability to configure a SharePoint Online connection in the SharePoint
Site Collection settings window using OAuth 2.0 authentication (the
Credentials field). Configuring this authentication method requires specifying the
tenant identifier (the Tenant ID field) and client identifier (the Client ID field),
uploading a certificate from disk (the Certificate field), and then providing its
password (the Certificate password field)

While there's also a release for 2025 with the same date, I don't find anything similar:

Edit:
There's also a new article describing it:

Hi Celina,
I wanted to add that deployment mode can also be enabled for individual processes :-)

Hi,

if one adds groups in the user privileges of a report users not being member of the configured group(s) get those restricted reports displayed in the suggested reports widget of dashboards in the portal. The report content shows no data - as expected.
May this be a bug due to a missing permission check?

Kind regards
Sébastien
