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

Hi everyone, we received again the request to add an outgoing mail as an attachment. I know that we are not alone with it and the current workaround is, that the mail is also send to a mailbox which is watched by the HotMailBoxes functionality. Having a configuration option on the "Send custom notification" to define, whether the mail should be added as an attachment to the current workflow instance would simplify this greatly. It would even be better, if this isn't a simple check box (...)

Hi, it would be nice to see the following improvements, when using groups in item lists: - Option to define the default value whether they should be collapsed or expanded. Similar to groups. Rendering the groups only would improve performance. - If totals are rendered, it would be great to define whether they should be rendered below the group or in the header. The later one would reduce the used space greatly. - Define whether we need an overall total. In case of groups, they may not be h (...)

I’m considering whether it might make sense to create a ENABLE/DISABLE PATH function. Maybe we could even add a small blue (i) icon that explains when the button will be enabled. What do the others think?

Hi, it's currently not possible to define translations for the selected columns. While the default translations are used for process fields, there's no way to define a translation for a calculated or a system column. It would be great to define those on BPS Internal view level, so that there's only one source. Best regards, Daniel

Hi, is it possible to change dynamically every year the date in a constant, so that I won't have to change it manually? Thanks in advance for your informations. Monica

Hi, I'm currently upgrading from 2023 to 2026 and noticed/remembered, that I can select a hidden report in a report tile (1) but these are not available in case of a navigation grid element (2). Current version 2026.1.2.91 Btw. what did you do with the version numbers. The second part is now the hot refresh version and what is the meaning of the third one? Best regards, Daniel

Add support for shorthand date entry in date fields. For example, allow users to type 030626 and have the system automatically interpret it as 03/06/2026 (or the appropriate date format based on locale settings).

Hello, it would be great if there was an option that shows where WEBCON user groups are used similar to what we have for form fields and business/for rules. Also, an option to add description similar to office 365 groups. Thank you

It would be great to have some more actions to be used for additional attachment menu actions. What i'm missing most, is the usage of the hyperlink action, which would give the possibility to start a new workflow. Of course, the attachment-id must be available for the configuration of the hyperlink action.

MVP

Currently, when clicking an attachment either the preview is displayed or the document is being downloaded, which is fine if the element is in view mode. However, in edit mode, it would be great to have the possibility to configure the whether the document should be opened to be edited or as preview/download. Idealy, this would be a business rule, which returns the default action. By having this possibility, we could open a word document in edit mode and and other documents as preview/dow (...)

It would be very helpful and useful to give users the ability to sort attachments at the individual user level (not the entire process) and save these settings so that after exiting a case, attachments remain according to the user's individual preferences. Currently, attachments are sorted by date added throughout the system, but some users need alphabetical sorting with the option to change the attachment name. We use in the company WEBCON BPS PORTAL Version2025.2.1.259. Please consider impleme (...)

Hi, it would be nice to get a more detailed log output for the database upgrade. Currently we only have the information that the upgrade started: 17-01-2026 16:00:11 msg: Scripts are loaded src: DBUpdateControl 17-01-2026 17:21:24 msg: AppPool WEBCONBPS recycle src: IISManager It would be nice to have an output like - 17-01-2026 16:00:11 Script 7703 \t Change picker columns length from 1000 to 4000 \t Database: BPS_Content_X Start time\t 16:34:21 \t End time \t 16:40:34 I used \t (...)

It would be great to be able to create or use a custom source on report. The problem arises every time we want to visualize data from different processes on a single chart. In such cases, the default sources are limited to system data only. It is not possible to physically connect logically related data. Our case is a little more complex. We have long-term tasks, connected hierarchically, whose progress is recorded in lists of items within the tasks themselves. We want to show a chart (...)

Hi, it would really help to compare the export of two dictionaries in different environments, if the columns would be sorted the the same way. I haven't checked it, but I assume, that it is based on the integer id of the fields. I would prefer that the columns would be sorted either by the not translated field name (WFCON_prompt) or it's GUID. this would ensure that the export will have the same column sorting across all environments which use the same application. In theory we could h (...)

I would like to propose a UX enhancement for the WEBCON platform: displaying the step name in red whenever inheritance is broken on the step list and also directly on the graphical Workflow diagram, in the same way this visual indicator is already used for step names in the Attribute Matrix. The goal is to improve clarity, consistency, and error prevention during process design and maintenance. 1. UI/UX consistency Red highlighting is already used to indicate broken inheritance in the Attrib (...)

Quite often we have the use case, that we need to provide a personalized dataset. With SQL data sources we do have the possibility to use calculated fields with a subquery. Which could end up with performance issues when using large datasets. As an example this calculated column returns 1 if the first letter of the COS_ExtensionAttribute05 field in the COS table matches the value of the dataset. The result can then be used to filter by <my> data. (SELECT IIF(LEFT(COS_ExtensionAttribute05, 1) (...)

Hello, Currently, data sources used by this field return only active user accounts. In some business scenarios, it is necessary to allow selection of users who are no longer active (e.g., for historical reference, archival workflows, former approvers, or when completing data in legacy processes). Please consider adding a new option (checkbox) in the Advanced configuration of the “Person or group” form field [Include inactive accounts]. When selected, the field's data source should also re (...)

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 with complete access to all resources, or an Application Administrator with control strictly limited t (...)
