I think it would be appreciated by many developers, if you would add "activate"/"deactivate" on every element in the business rule / form rule / other similar places. It would make debugging much easier in many cases. Just as it is in the actions now.

Hi, after a few years I noticed that the "Business entity" field is missing from the available columns of a dictionary. Of course, one can create a BPS Internal view to work around it, but it would be great if more "default" (system fields) could be added: - Author - Date created - Last person modifying - Date modified (not listed in the system fields) - Business Entity - Form subtype I highlighted those in the attached image. Best regards, Daniel

Dear All, In BPS 2021 with modern layout we miss functionality to copy an attached file to clipboard. There is feature for preview, download, but no copy. Earlier - with sharepoint - we used activex component, copy to clipboard worked fine. It would be really nice to get a copy feature. Or do you have any idea how to make it work? Thank you! Peter

There all always questions whether we can change the menu of an application or not. It would be great having a Customnavigtion node under the presentation node. We should be able to create two level menus with an icon and whether the link should open in same tab or a new one.

Can you add path button style options (in Global parameters - appearance) for every path color available in a workflow diagram (8 colors) ? So, changing a path color should apply corresponding button style in the path. This would greatly improve development time, in a big workflow entering path button style for every path is time consuming. Also, this will keep colors consistent between workflow diagram and the form.

Hi everyone, I noticed on version 2022.1.2.31 that it can take a really long time to populate the target field of choice field, if the data source is a web service data source. In this case the data source is a REST data source and the picker field is of type popup search. Once I activated the diagnostic mode I noticed that after getting the picker results (1) the chosen value is validated again before the target field is set. In the attached image, to which the numbers refer, this val (...)

Dear All, We have a widely used Incoming Invoice process, which manage validation and approval of digitized invoices. We use valueable feature of Attachment Preview on form to show invoice image during some validation/approval steps. (We use other feature for OCR verification) We register invoices as "Invoice" category attachment, but there can be other connecting documents. On Classis form in Sharepoint it worked perfectly, Preview showed first document (min att_id) which was always the in (...)

Hi, the „new” feature automations is very helpful, but i´ve missed the very often used option „create template”. Are you planning to reimplement this old feature to the actions and automations? Thanks and best regards Daniel

At this pointthe only way to generate multiple word documents is to create multiple actions, or if you have a dynamic number of documents, you should use subworkflows. The second solution works alright when we are talking about 2-20 documents, but (I'm not sure if all of you are aware) creating an new instance, ore moving it one step is a verry slow action and if you need to move or create 1000 instances using the default actions you will have to wait sometimes hours. Another problem is that (...)

Hi, Why is only one task created, and everything executes in it, when I execute the following code in a loop: args.TransitionInfo.TasksToAdd.Add(new WebCon.WorkFlow.SDK.Common.Model.NewTaskData(new WebCon.WorkFlow.SDK.Common.Model.UserInfo("webcon", "webcon"))); Best regards.

Hi, I have this situation: - one main workflow - 4 different subworkflows that must start in parallel and wait until all subworkflows are done. I tried with Start a subworkflow action, but works for a single subworkflow. I don't want to use hyperlink. I must enter on the subworkflow in the start step. Is possible to start different subworkflows from a main workflow with SQL? I don't have an item list. I need to define an SQL action for each subworkflow? Can I have an example? Thank (...)

Hi, I have created a report, in which i am only interested in showing the Year-portion of a datetime-field. This works good until i try to group for the shown values in there. The groups are not built by the years in this case, but still on the entire value. It would make more sense to group according to the display option the grouped column is set to. Especially because i dont know how to do calculated columns in SOLR reports like i used to in SQL-reports. ;) I have attached a screenshot t (...)

Hi there, I have observed the problem. During the transfer between DEV-TEST-PROD environments there is an uncontrolled change in the order of formal parameters in the form rules. This results wrong assigning the actual parameters when the rule was called after import.

Hi, we just did the upgrade from 2021.1.3.434 to 2021.1.4.55: One of the changes also concerns the look of the start buttons on dashboards. Because we like to use longer names, we now have a little problem with the limitation of space as you can see in the attached picture. Maybe in upcoming versions it is possible to rethink this change. Thanks in advance, Bjoern Poller

Reports have a nice feature, which forces people to submit a search before showing results. However it is possible to submit the search without entering anything. So all result would be returned. It would be a great feature to configure a minimal amount of letter to enter before being able to submit the search.

Hi everyone, I'm not sure whether I'm the only one, but I got so used to the native spell checking of Windows that I tend to forget to the spelling. Sometimes it happens because I make a mistake and sometimes it happens because of latency or other issues in an RDP session. Currently I'm using the BPS translation tool and checking the texts in word. I'm wondering if native Windows spell check could be added to the Designer Studio: https://docs.microsoft.com/en-us/dotnet/api/system.windows.cont (...)

Data table attribute gives opportunity to export containing data to Excel using its default configuration, the sole problem is it can only export top 1000 rows, when its quite common to display bigger chunks of data in that form field. Documentation that redirects to below website doesn't mention anything about such limit: https://howto.webcon.com/exporting-a-data-table-form-field-to-an-excel-file/ I am aware of alternatives such as user actions / sdk, but it is about using built-in functi (...)

Is there a reason behind 100 characters regex limitation? I was trying to use a regex for validation of Romanian personal identification numbers (CNP) and I got the following error attached. I think this limit should be increased a little.

Hi there, by using the Designer Desk in 2021.1.3.205 our user made the mistake to use multiple START STEPs while designing a workflow for us. Also it is not possiple to save this work, it would be better, if the user gets an error message, if he/she wants to place another START STEP or it doesnt work at all (like in the Designer Studio). Bye, Bjoern Poller
