Hi, When instances are "live", datatables / datarows are just nice objects to use. However, when an element is archived, datatable shows "No data preview for an archived element", while datarow does not render at all. Scenario: a parent and 1+ children. You can have a datatable in the parent's form to show the list of children along with some relevant info, and each child may have a datarow

(...) Hello community, I need to start a workflow instance for each email address in a text, where the addresses are separated by semicolons. My plan was to initialize the Item List using an SQL query, and then to start a subworkflow (SQL) instance for each row (email). Since our WEBCON environment doesn't support STRING_SPLIT, I fabricated a custom SQL query to split the long string into individual rows wit (...)

Hi, we use the app vsb.actions from vsb/smoodi and would like to give the name another name for internal use because we don't like to use names of vendors for products/services. We now could change the app name in the Designer Studio and with each update of vsb.actions that we import in Studio we would have to rename the app name. It would be nice if there could be an option to set a configu

Hi, I'm writing this post to verify, that I didn't overlooked an option. Situation: I have a data table to get the data of subworkflows and the base 64 encoded values of their attached images. This data table is used to create a word document. The standard SQL connection uses the bps_user which neither can read data from a separate database nor is the user allowed to read the attachment fi

Hi, I'm looking for ideas on how to start an automatic process on a schedule that checks each row of a dictionary that has 3 types of dates. The goal is to automatically start another process when a specific date from the dictionary is reached. How can this be implemented? Thanks in advance!

(...) ield to track who created each instance. As a result, users can no longer see the instances they created before their UPN was changed. One way to fix this is by manually updating the CreatedBy field for each record, but this is very time-consuming. Additionally, users can't see their previously created reports either, since those are also tied to the CreatedBy field. To restore access, we would need to u (...)

(...) ns, they were defined once, and then that report could be reused in multiple places (it required multiple views, but the data behind was declared once). After 2025, we have 'data sources' separate for each dashboard and for each report, this forces us to recreate the same data source in multiple places. Let's say i have 3 dashboards, each for a different department, but all of them are having same ca (...)

The privilege-granting capabilities for application creation (within Webcon Designer Studio) should be more extensive and flexible. Let's assume two business units (departments) are using the same Webcon instance. How can proper privileges be granted within Webcon Designer Studio in this scenario? The current model of access rights appears too binary: you can either be a System Administrator wi

(...) le, I would then like to be able to filter, e.g. to show all customers that have classification G. Currently I am working with "Choice list". But in the report, the column creates a separate filter for each combination of entries. For example, for a customer who has classifications A and B, it creates its own filter that must be selected, just as it does for a customer whose classification column contai (...)

I need to call a REST API from a WEBCON form and write the returned values back into form fields. The REST API performs several validations on the incoming JSON payload (e.g. date from valid, date to valid, amount valid, etc.). In case of a validation error, the API returns something like: { "state": "error", "error_msg": "Date to must be greater than date from" } Approach 1 – Autom

(...) to different workflow contexts) requires creating multiple Data Sources or embedding logic elsewhere. Disadvantages: - Redundancy: The same underlying query or lookup often needs to be duplicated for each variation. - Tightly coupled to specific processes: A Data Source is hardwired to a specific e.g. form field, Item List, or workflow use case. - Lack of flexibility: Dynamic adaptation to different (...)

Hi, right now there is no possibility to configure a template in a data source that could be used when selecting this data source in a picker field for the advanced configuration. Each time the advanced configuration has to be set up manually. Pickers for users or departments are used very often and it's a mess to reconfigure each time the wished default advanced configuration - especially for

Hi, right now configurations are process specific and contain amongst others business rules, form rules, constants, automations. If multiple processes of the same app or even other apps need one of those there is the possibility to create a global equivalent in system settings. Unfortunatelly global objects have no app binding functionality as data sources have. Some global constants, busine

(...) 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 the connection as Postman does it in the configuration of its collections. By having this all data sources (...)

(...) 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 Manager. It's the first time that I got this error and couldn't reproduce it yet. Kind regards Sébastien

(...) on dev. Have you already found a way how to prevent a task creation on the "lower" environments? One first idea would having 3 MSSQL connections for all 3 environments. Then a MSSQL data source for each connection that gets process information, mainly the process GUID and then a business rule managing where this process GUID can be found across all environments. We have a global constant environment (...)

(...) Hi, I have an automation with a for each and selected "item list" as collection type with an item list (let's say A) of the form. Now I expected to get all columns shown under "Columns collection" in the "Values" tab. But there is no entry for it. After searching a while I found the entry of this item list A under "Form fields" as the only item list. Why don't you just keep the same logic as it i (...)

Hi everyone, I am experiencing an issue with the "Merge attachments into a Word/PDF file" action. When I use this action to merge multiple Word documents (.docx) into a single file, the page numbering in the resulting document is generated incorrectly. As a result, the final document does not have a continuous page sequence (for example, the page numbering restarts from 1 at the beginnin
