Hi, imagine a workflow with on start (cyclical) automation that starts the workflow itself. This can be a sync of an external data source with a dictionary. If the sync returns an error a step for error validation gets entered. Having this on dev, test and prod would then generate a task on all e

Hi, I have a MSSQL data source with a column newHash that get's created by HASHBYTES and VARCHAR(64) in the SQL query of the data source over some other columns to check if there is a value updated. This hash gets stored in the dictionary entry together with all other values. In the same query I

Hi Maciej, yes, you can enable the option "Switch all editors into advanced edit mode" and then you get the reference code in the format #{BRD:xxxx}#. xxxx is the normal ID and not the GUID. Unique GUID is needed if you have artifacts across environments like a document template because the norma

Hi, when a date column is chosen as x axis and the data series contains discrete values over time (count of applications, temperature, share price, ...) it would be great having the aggregation type "Latest value". The latest value is dependent of the time range that gets used on the x axis. This

Hi, I suggest a new feature that supports to duplicate an existing dashboard with all its content, data sources, configurations ... Sometimes dashboards get bigger and bigger and it can be necessary to have a new more abstract dashboard that contains less widgets e.g. With a duplicate it would

Hi, it would be great if the preview of a data source value would not only display the filter but also the selected return column and number of rows for return. I've attached a little mockup. Having e.g. a CONCAT of multiple data source value elements one has always to open the data source's e

Hi, it would be great if data tables would not only support sorting in the portal but filtering too as it is supported in reports. Moreover I suggest to enable the override sort settings in the Studio for a data table to set a default sort order. Example use case: Data table with all cycle aut

Hi Arek, do you want all entries of a data source that could be selected in a choice picker field or do you want the selected values in a choice picker field of a workflow instance? To read the selected values of a choice picker field of a workflow instance you can use this elements endpoint:

Hi, yes I've seen that I missed the ESCAPE part. I've updated my previous message with a 2nd working method. Kind regards Sébastien

Hi Jacek, thank you for the hint! I expected that WEBCON escapes the query already. I put the SQL filter to the dashboard's data source. Both methods work like a charm: ## AND WFD_AttText1 LIKE '%![JOB!]%' ESCAPE '!' ## and ## AND WFD_AttText1 LIKE '%[[]JOB]%' ## Kind regards

Hi, I got this error message: "The current process has used all of its system allowance of handles for Window Manager objects." I've been in an automation with for each and the configuration of an action in it. I had to terminate the Designer Studio (2025.2.1.179) through the Windows Task M

Hi, I've suffixed processes that contain a workflow with a cyclical on start global action with " [JOB]". To get an overview of all process planed as a job I've created a dictionary report in a dashboard and want to filter the column "Process Name" with a default filter. Now I have 3 different

Hi Stelian, what about having a task priority attribute with an enumeration of levels like Low, Normal, High, Urgent instead of a binary flag only? Kind regards Sébastien

Hi, today, saving processes, apps, and artifacts in the Studio lacks a structured way to document what changed and why. This creates several limitations: - Low transparency: Changes are saved without clear intent or context. - Weak traceability: No consistent link between a change and a requi

Hi Jacek, the workaround with a business rule works great. Nether the less I suggested a user voice here: https://community.webcon.com/forum/thread/8423 Kind regards Sébastien

Hi, form fields in the Objects tab of the form rule editor don’t get displayed in standard mode. Only when switching to JS mode the form fields appear. In the form rule editor of a Validate form action the form fields appear in the Objects tab. More details here in the conversation with Jac

Hi, REST web services may need some custom headers for authentication, content-type, authorization and so on. Right now one has to configure those custom headers for each REST web services data source and invoke action using the connection. My suggestion is to add default custom headers in

Hi Katarzyna, where do you store an api token so that in can be managed in a central way. The api token can have a lifetime and if you put it everywhere in data sources or actions it's a pain to replace it by a new one, isn't it? Kind regards Sébastien

Hi, after switching a single line text field to an integer number several automations broke - as excpected - because the column name has switched from WFD_AttText1 to WFD_AttInt1. Starting a WF instance brings always an error - as expected. That's why I gave the "verify process" a try and I ho

Hi Jacek, ah I didn‘t try the JS mode. Thank you. I‘d like to call a global business rule wirh parameters that runs a SQL command with the parameters. A use case is to get item list values or item list entry counts of an instance by just passing the item list id and a columns database name.
