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 is for the collection types "any collection" and "data source" where the "Colums collection" (...)
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 environments. I expect to have a task creation only in production environment if the process already exists on prod. If the process only exists on test and dev I expect the task creation only on tes (...)
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 also add the column with the diHash of the associated dictionary entry. When doing a daily sync between data source and dictionary I'd like to compare both columns newHash and diHash. This is used (...)
Hi Is there any way to use business rule references when generating HTML templates? Something like {BRD:63630e35-0f8d-455e-ac6f-df8017e01c56}. I see that you can reference them in Word documents, and it works for me, e.g., {DOCPROPERTY BPSGUID_BRD:d5280b12-fad7-4dd6-9031-4b74f121c1c2_numer2}. How can I use this in HTML? And another question: how do I map arguments to a business rule already used in HTML? Thank you. Maciej
Hi everyone, I have a case with WEBCON BPS 2026 and a REST integration. I need to call an external API that requires a client certificate (PFX / mTLS). Everything works in Postman, but in WEBCON I can’t find how to pass the certificate. Currently I’m using: -REST Web Service connection -Authentication: Anonymous -HTTPS + JSON I don’t see any option for: -client certificate - selecting from Windows store -or using a thumbprint Has anyone faced something similar? Does WEBCON supp (...)
I have a process that requires users to make use of hand held terminals. The devices run on android os but are restricted to local area networks with no internet access Is there access to the APK file to download and sideload to my devices for the installation?
Is it possible to get all possible values of ChoiceList field using API call?
As Microsoft is removing support for legacy authentication, and webcon is still using base login/password for SharePoint. Is Webcon planning to implement connecting through application? There is SharePoint via REST, but I'm saying about SharePoint Site Collection connections - these will stop working very soon.
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
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 behaviors: - Using "[JOB]" returns all processes in the list without any filtering > This seems to be a bug imho. (screenshot) - Using "JOB" returns only the expected processes containing JOB > Thi (...)
Hi, I've also noticed that BPS data sources that reference item lists are also returning deleted records. Are you experiencing this issue as well? I have version 2026.1.4.131 installed. Regards, D.
Hello, I seem to not understand how a system step works properly. I have a workflow, in which I want to send a mail in a system step and then go on to the next step. The mail is sent, but the system step does not go to the next step. (we have Webcon 2025.2.1.91) ("move workflow" is not available; only "move workflow (sql)", but it is not possible to move the workflow you are in at the moment) (there is only one path after the system step and it es marked as default path) (the ar (...)
In the code-parts of https://developer.webcon.com/docs/configuration-attributes/#configeditablegrid In the code window below the < - sign and > - sign are showed as ' & lt ; and & gt ; ' Is this intentional ? Because the code in the documentation is C# My colleague did not notice right away but I did!
Hi, we noticed that in WEBCON BPS 2026.1.4.131 version in Event Viewer errors are logged with a very short description and it is not even known what element ID they refer to, e.g. FormField: AttChoose14 not found.
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 hope to get some warnings due to broken references. Unfortunately there is no warning and I had to search manually and found a broken one in a "data source value" filter as shown in the screenshot. (...)
Hi, I wanted to ask if you're having trouble cloning/copying attributes in Designer Studio for WEBCON BPS 2026.1.4.131? If I have an attribute, for example, WFD_AttChoose6, and I clone it, I see the value in the attribute in the new location (if it's given the same database name, i.e., WFD_AttChoose6) on the form, even though the attribute doesn't have a default value defined in Designer Studio. Furthermore, in the location where I copied it, when I go to "Use" I see that it's being use (...)
Hi, why are form fields available in the objects tab when configuring a validate form action but not when using the form rule editor? Can anybody explain this? Thanks and kind regards Sébastien
Hi, does anybody know why the action "Create task" can not be chosen in a menu button's automation? This can be seen in the table of this page: https://docs.webcon.com/docs/2025R2/Studio/Action/#action-groups-and-types An example use case is to have a button that changes the task assignment to a different person, e.g. the current user. It is also possible to achieve this with a path going out and in from the same step. But a menu button would be nice too. Thanks and kind regards Sé (...)
Hello, we've just updated our WebCon from version 2023.1.2.44 to 2026.1.4.125. Every time I switch between our portals (dev/test/prod environments) WebCon Designer crashes when I save the process. Afterwards I can reopen the designer and saving works fine. I check the newer releases for this error but could find a hint that this problem has been resolved. Thanks for your help! Best regards, Balint Type: System.AggregateException ------------------------------------ (...)
Hi, when creating a menu button in a step it also creates an automation as child. It is possible to delete this automation. If there is no automation the button never gets displayed in the edit dialog in the portal. Why not? If we just want that the button executes a form rule without any automation we'd expect to see the button in the edit dialog. Same behavior for global menu buttons of the workflow. Kind regards Sébastien
