I have a drop down for the submitter to use to select who is next (requirement from the end users). I found the article that explains why the Display Value doesn't continue to be the Displayed Value after the initial selection but I have to find a way to either copy the display value or have the one drop down save both the FQN and the Display Name.  Since this value is then copied into Email Text and used in List View, having the FQN saved is what makes the work - but who wants an email saying hellow to their FQN. I've tried transferring the data to another field, but it only shows up blank. There has to be a solution to this somewhere as I'm finding it hard to believe that others don't have the same issue with end uers wanting to always see the display name. 

Here is the business case... we are building a document control system. A document creation request goes thru approval process. Approval form has a link to the document that is being worked on. Requirement is, approver must not be allowed to approve document without opening it first. I put a "When a control raises a Changed event" rule to set the value of a temporary variable and check it at the time of form submit. Changed event is firing at the time form loads but it doesn't fire when approver clicks the URL. How can implement this requirement? Thanks

Hi All, I am busy creating a listing custom control with a smartobject as datasource. The control renders custom html to present the control.  My problem i am facing is that i want to refresh the datasource on a button click event, thus i implement the rule: "populate list control with data" and specify my filter on the smartobject, thus it should render the control again using the filtered smartobjet, but it doesnt. ThanksMarius  

Hi, I want to concatinate two values from two drop down lists and populate the new value in a text box.When I applied the below rule "When dropdownlist1 is changedif an advanced condition is true (dropdownlist1 equals value and dropdownlist2 has a value)the transfer data Expression (Concatinate dropdownlist1, dropdownlist2)"Only the value from dropdownlist1 is populating in the text box.But when I give the same expression directly in the text box property it will populate both the values while execution. Please help me to complete this. Thanks in advance.Regards,Abin K Thomas

Anyone got any ideas why this isn't working. Doing a SAVE PDF Method takes about 10 seconds and basically hangs the page before it's generated and i see it in a File attachment. I am ok with the delay, but want to change the button text to "Please wait...", but it won't change the button text until after the PDF is created. In my rule, i clearly have the change button text above the SAVE PDF method, but it's not accpeting it. I've tried creating an unbound rule, changes the sequence in the rules from one after the other to asynchronous, you name it i tried it, still doens't work. Any ideas?

Dear K2, Does SharePoint Content service broker Impersonation work on SharePoint 2013 sites? FYI, SharePoint Service V2 service broker impersonation works on SharePoint 2010 sites in our environment. Thanks.

I was wondering if anyone knows of a way to check all active workflows and find which are on a specific workflow activity.e.g. I have a workflow with three activities 1,2,3 and I want to find all active workflows that are currently waiting on activity 2 Is that possible? I suspect there'd be some sort of record in the K2 database but I'm not sure if theres anything I could query

How can i  inject huge JS into SmartForm? Datalabel length limitation is ridiculous.

Hello Everyone. I have been pulling my hair out on this one trying to figure out why its behaving this way. The following workflow uses a for each to pull all the records from a table. I also have my Reference set up to link to it when obtaining all the values I need for when using the out of the box AD Create service type. It first checks to see if the AD record already exists, if it does it updates the status to COMPLETED in the main table and removes the record in the processing table (the one the For Each and Reference are looking at). If no AD record exists, it creates the AD record and does the same thing, marking the main table to COMPLETED and removing the processing record. If, however, I have a record that when creating the AD record has an error, I capture it (length(DistinguishedName) <= 0), and I mark the the main table record as ERROR and still remove the record from the process table. If I only have the UpdateMainTableSmartObject and take out the RemoveProcessRecordSm

Very simple Condition Advanced Rule (Data Label 1 Not equals to MARS or Data Label 1 Not Equals PLUTO)ANDData Label 2 Equals YShow message "Blocked"  So i pass the following to this expression:MARS and Y Result is Message says "Blocked" WHY? I have brackets around the first two conditions and an OR inside, then AND for the second part.The expression should fail because i am saying NOT EQUALS.... Are the simplest things so trickly with K2?

Hello there, I'm looking to use a workflow to get the users belonging to a SP2013 permission group, then create a task for each one of them, so that they can complete the task assigned to them asynchronously. I know how to do it for a list, but not a SP permission group. I'd prefer to accomplish this workflow using K2 Designer, but K2 Studio works just as well. Thanks in advance for your assistance! Best Regards,Che

I have a List of approvers in a sharepoint list and I am trying to create a dynamic list so that additional approvers can be added at any time.  I am attempting to create a reference using this list, and when I create the reference I can filter to just the items where Archived has a Value of No.I want to use the list reference in a For Each, but I want it go through the list in the correct sort order.Can this be done?If so, how?It looks like out of the box if you create a reference usig the Get List Items method, and you used that reference in a for each loop, it will cycle through the list items in order by their list item ID.

Hi, Trying to use the K2 SourceCode.Workflow.Managagement with filter produces an error "error converting nvarchar to int" - any suggestions? ThanksSteve

Hi again. This is getting so frustrating!   In essence, I am using the Exchange Mailbox Custom Service Objects broker to go into exchange, pass in the Email ID and pull out the body of the email for my SmartForm user to read.   When they execute the smart object, about half the time it works perfectly. The other half the time I get and error that reads: Could not load file or assembly 'file:///D:Program Files (x86)K2 blackpearlServiceBrokerK2.ServiceBroker.Custom.ExchangeMailboxService.dll' or one of its dependencies. The system cannot find the file specified. Although not perfect, typically when I get the error, I can refresh the form, try the button again and it will work as normal.  It will then work normally UNTIl I refresh the form again, then it will start giving the error UNTIL I refresh the form again.   My private theory is that this is related to the number of times I have installed and uninstalled the broker trying to get it to work.  There are multiple service objects relat

Hi, When the Authoriser receives a Client Event notification from the Workflow, the text inside says: Worklist item link: Click to open the worklist item The underlined bit is really user unfriendly and i'd like to change it, but i only want to change it for this process or via the notification, is this possible?I am using my own email template and have the Worklist item link grabbed dragged into it, but can't see any way to change it. I know you can edit the K2 default Mail template, but that will change the link for all processes, I don't want that, just the text to be different per form/process? Is it not possible to edit the link text using HTML in my template to keep the link, but just change the display text? Thanks

Hi, Has anyone else experienced an issue when starting an activity on a dynamic date? The activity goes into a running state however, the status is still set to 'Waiting'. I'm unable to execute the event within the activity because of this.  Thanks

I created an application using a SmartObject for the data.  Now my manager would like me to change it to store and pull data from a SQL Server table.  Can I create a SQL Server table, then change the SmartObject to an Advanced SmartObject and point to the table?  Or will it cause errors with my views and forms?  I know I would have to change the methods for creating and updating the data. I don't expect any data to transfer from the K2 SmartObject to the new table, I just don't want to have to recreate the entire application.   Thanks for any input.
