Hi, an automation can have parameters with given data types. In the parameter settings there is a small icon showing the data type. When using the automation there are no icons to indicate the data type. That's why we write the data type as prefix in the parameter name as a workaround. It would be much nicer if there would be a small icon too as prefix of the name. Kind regards Sébastien

Hi, if we have a process relation the mail for such a workflow will be the "primary" application. If we want to change this "primary" application, we currently need to: - Remove all presentation elements in the target application - Delete the relation in the target application - Move the process - Recreate all presentation elements This takes a lot of time. It's quicker to fiddle around in the database. But this is neither supported nor even an option in the multi-tenant SaaS. If (...)

Hi, it would be great if a community user could manage and change it‘s mail address under „Your account“. Kind regards Sébastien

Hi, if a path leads to an intermediate step the path must have a selected task assignment in the „Task creation“ tab. If it‘s missing there is a warning in the Portal and the task assignment has to be defined. This commonly occurs e.g. when a new intermediate step is added and connected with an entry path or when deleting a flow control after connecting the existing path leading to the flow control to an intermediate step. To minimize this kind of error and turn development even more effi (...)

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, business or form rules and automations may contain critical data (e.g. api tokens) that should not be use (...)

Hi, right now app, process and workflow's associated form type user privileges can only be set for users and/or groups. It would be great if global business rules could be used too. A filter could be set that only global business rules with return type „user list“ can be used. This way e.g. a business admin could manage users in a dictionary and dynamic privileges would be possible with a business rule that selects users of this dictionary. Kind regards Sébastien

MVP

Hi, when workflow models evolve over time, it becomes increasingly difficult to understand how a workflow model looked or behaved in earlier versions. Although version history exists, it is currently not easy to visualize or analyze previous workflow designs. It would be very helpful if the workflow model history allowed users to navigate through past versions and view the corresponding workflow diagram exactly as it existed at that time. Suggested features (for the new Web Studio): 1. (...)

Hi, in the Information Panel, steps that have the path parameter option “Set current step as finished” enabled are currently displayed with a checkmark once the path is taken. This works well for paths that lead to an intermediate step or positive completion of a process. However, it can be misleading when such a path leads to a negative final step (for example: rejected, cancelled, declined). Even though the step is technically finished, the checkmark visually suggests a successful out (...)

Hi, I would like to suggest adding a line jump (or bridge) feature for crossing paths in Workflow Designer (at least for the Web versions). Currently, when two lines intersect without a jump, it often creates ambiguity. Users cannot easily distinguish whether the lines are simply crossing or if there is a logical junction or which path goes to which step without hovering over the path. Incorporating line jumps would significantly enhance visual clarity and prevent misinterpretation of proc (...)

MVP

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 the columns configuration in the "General" tab. As a workaround we have created a "Template App" wit (...)

Hi, it would be nice if todos would be improved. Right now it’s just a simple textfield and a structure needs to be done by the devs. Suggestions: - Thread style - Automatic timestamp and author for each message - Cascading replies to message - Notifications when a reply to an own message has been created - Same for notes in WF Designer. If notes are seen as todos it would be better to switch to todos and incorporate those notes in the todo list too These improvements would be real (...)

MVP

It would be nice to have some additional information for the requirements in the system verification step of the installer: - A link or hint that explains how to install the Dynamic Compression Module - .NET 9 SDK (x64) instead of only .NET 9 and an additional download link - Download links for ASPNET Core 9 Hosting Bundle, .NET Framework and WebView2 Another way could be an extra page in the docs with explications and a link in the system verification step to this page dependent of the (...)

MVP

Hi, when grouping a column in a portal report, the groups are always sorted in ascending order instead of respecting the column’s sort order. Additionally, only the first 100 groups are displayed. It would be helpful to have pagination to access all groups. Kind regards Sébastien

MVP

Hi, Current Situation: Data Sources are typically static and context-independent. Each Data Source is bound to a fixed query or API call, with no native mechanism to pass parameters dynamically. As a result, any variation in use (such as retrieving different columns, filtering by different criteria, or adapting to different workflow contexts) requires creating multiple Data Sources or embedding logic elsewhere. Disadvantages: - Redundancy: The same underlying query or lookup often needs (...)

With version 2026.1.4.125 the behavior of links in reports and datagrids had been changed. "Standardized functionality of Calculated column of the Link type. From now on, formatting that encompasses "on click" will function solely for Report form fields. For instance: link:www.google.com;displayname:GOOGLE;onclick:javascript:action This type of formatting does not function for Data table form fields and instead "JavaScript" formatting should be utilized, which is applicable across every avai (...)

Hi, it would be an improvement, if we would have additional column to put a documentation why a specific field was mapped to an ExtensionAttribute. It would be even better, if we would have some kind of "Usages" tab, to locate where a specific extension attribute is used but this would be way more complicated than an additional documentation field: It should be possible to set this documentation even for extension attributes which are not mapped. This is especially useful for partners. (...)

Hi Guys, as i mentoned in Thread https://community.webcon.com/forum/thread/8309 i need a feature to configure the columns in the KPI-Report. I am not allowed to show usernames in the report because with this it#s possible to check the user performance. Would be nice to hide some of the columns, like in other reports. Thanks Gerd

Hi, we can configure multi line fields to allow pasting images in rich text mode. While I don't like it from a technical perspective the users like it. My issue with the current solution is, that the users can copy images from websites and the browsers copy the HTML instead of the image. This is great from a disk space perspective, it's bad from an audit trail perspective. If the source get's removed, the image is lost. In our case this is particularly bad because these images will be embed (...)

Hi, we noticed that the Field.Displayname has now the translated value of the current user. Until 2025 this line logged always the Designer Studio name. as of 2026 it is the translated value for the executing user. logger.Log($"Adding sql field'{sqlField.DisplayName}' as placeholder"); This is causing us some troubles. We have a generic SDK which allows us to access all the fields of the workflow instances as placeholders. For example Description: |Description| The alternative wo (...)

Hi, if there's only a single view, the view selection can be hidden. It hints that there are more views, while there are none. This is confusing. In addition, you don't need to provide a name /translation for the view which, in these cases, are the same as the title of the report. Best regards, Daniel
