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. 

Has anyone found a way to reuse styling on a label or data label or any other control for that matter? If I have 30 fields with 30 labels I need click the style button and adjust the formatting for each label/control individually.  The only solution I've been able to come up with is to make the labels a literal and make the text something like <span class="labelClass">Label Name</span>. Any ideas are appreciated? 

I have a requirement for a begin date to be the next days date. I entered an expression on the field to set it to tomorrow.  It does display, and allow someone to change the date. Here is my problem, when I reuse that view with the date field, it displays tomorrows date; not what was entered in the smartbox object. Is there a setting or work around to display this smartbox object correctly?

Hello! I noticed that even when you specify to not use the thousandths separator on a list view, when making the "Double-click row to edit (default)" option available, when the field is in edit mode, the thousandths separator is present. I've tried all sensable format options (Making the SO property Text Type, using custom formatting on the field etc.) Anyone have any suggestions?  I'm dealing with account numbers in this list, so seeing the "," is not viable when editing a row.  I'd rather not design a subview just to edit a field :P Let me know, thanks!

Hello Community,I got an error while filtering data in an editable ListView. First I load a value from a different SO. Afterwards I execute the GetList-method on my view with no input-criteria but with some filters. Most of them work but one filter on an value from an associated SO causes an error. The errormessage on the attached screenshot is in German. The translation is: "Invalid column-name 'Association_...'". Do you guys have an idea why I get this error and how I can get rid of it? Many thanks and best regards,Tim aka. Sparrow

Hi, Is it possible to have a seperate AD Service for Nested AD Groups? I have an AD Group which i use for most forms, however i also have a Nested AD group within there which i want to use for a specific form only Is it possible to create a seperate AD Service instance and then click the NestGroups flag to true, and then use that Smartobject within this new form to use for when i need to specifically use nested groups? Thanks P.S. Even when testing on the current AD User Service and setting ResolveNestedGroups to True, the tester tool only brings back the AD Groups direct users, not the nested group.... Why?

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,does anyone know how the duration of a workflow is calculated?The results of the control output seems like a bit strange to me ...?Is just the start and end date used for calculation?Are only certain activities considered? Andi

Dear K2 Community ,We have taken a K2 db backup and restored it to a new server to migrate all live instances, then we installed K2 4.7 based on that restored DB to make this as our new QA K2 application server. But now we understood that in this mean time some more instances has been created in the old server, is it possible to migrate these as well ? Can we do a db backup & restore again? If this is possible, then should we run the K2 balckpearl setup manager again on new server to configure it again?

Hello guys. I have two questions about escalations 1. I know that is possible to redirect a task to another person... but, is there a way to redirect that task to an especific person? What I need to do is that when a person doesn't complete the task, the task should be redirected to the direct boss of the person that the task was send first. Then if the task remains undone by the direct boss, it redirects again to the boss of the new person in charge of that task.  2, Is there a way to create a dashboard to view all the escalated task of a user from all his/her workflows? To be able to see what users have an escalated task from an especific workflow.  And to check if it's the first or the second escalation.  Do you know if there's a simple way to do this?Thanks in advance.Regards!

I have set up a smartform which populates with users details, Name, telephone, and email when the form is initially opened. Can anybody advise if there is a way that these user details can be automatically saved when the form is first opened. At the the moment it is only saved when the user completes the rest of the form is completed and is saved. Many thanks Andrew

Currently on a project and need a dll to convert a file from a url location to base64. Apparently i have a dll file that can convert file from a local folder to base64, but cannot use that to convert from url to base64. The file with url looks like this: www.standardfocus.comTestFolderTesttrip25782.pdfwww.standardfocus.comTestFolderTesttrip23482.xlxswww.standardfocus.comTestFolderTesttrip25782.docx I would love to have all possible idea/solution that can help with this. Regards.

I have a list view where instructors click the add list view button to add a new student. The student comes into a dropdown and the entry normally works fine. If the instructor doesn't add someone, but instead clicks on the add new row button twice, I get a blank row. My question is:  How do I best prevent the blank row problem.  I was thinking of adding a color to the blank row, but I am getting confused in add/edit row values and display row values.  I would like to add some sort of conditional formatting on the field, so the blank rows show up with some color, and the other rows with values are normal. The blank rows which are added are very, very tiny and hard to see on the form. I can skip them when I go to write out valid data to the smartbox object, but it still leaves blank rows on the screen if I run a validation, and they are so hard to see. Suggestions? I don't want remote services, but trying to find an example of building this routine. Thanks! BKlaege

I have a user that when is viewed on an smart phone squashes everything up in to very narrow colums with very large rows. Is there any way to improve the view.I tried changing the User agent setting but this didn't resolve the problem. Cany any body advise of any other methods Many thanks Andrew

I understand that on K2 5 smartforms when you pull a SP Column onto a view that was attached to a meta data termset in SP, then this won't be tranposed into Smartforms automatically and I have to configure it against a drop down column on the form: I have done this the best I can see how (see screen shot) by using a dropdown list and adding my SP column name at the top and then have used the default settings that the smart object returned. However when running the form the column just has the 'circular' whirring icon (as though its trying to do something) but doesn't return any values, I can't see any other settings to fill in on the Smart Obect config screen, does anyone know where i cam going wrong? We use managed meta data columns extensively so need to crack this one off by heart ;-) I've scanned the turotrials and you tube but can't see any examples of using meta data smart objects Thanks!

Does anyone have any suggestions on how to safely/gently remove SharePoint 2010 mode K2 assets from K2? When we migrated to SharePoint 2013 we made a "SharePoint 2010 mode" site for all our K2 stuff due to the use of InfoPath.  We've been gradually moving our workflows off of InfoPath, so now the question is how can we safely remove the 2010 stuff?  To be more specific... 1. How to delete the K2 integrated lists & libraries, and their associated K2 SmartObjects2. How to delete the 2010 site & associated service instance from k23. Finally, how to uninstall the K2 for SharePoint 2010 software installed on our servers In my experience, what I think will work I find out later on k2 support calls were not the recommended approach.  The irony being that I can never find anything outlining the recommended approach LOL Thanks,

Hi All,I have 3 textboxes in new form for which I save the data in one SharePoint list field.eg. Textbox1 contains say value T1, Textbox2 contains T2 and Textbox3 contains T3, then I save the data as T1;T2;T3 in my list field. Now, I need to segregate the data in Display/Edit forms based on semicolon acting as separator. I have applied expressions for all 3. These expressions work fine when I provide value for all 3 but tend to fail in case I provide T1 as blank.(PFA) Please let me know in case this functionality can be achieved directly(although no split function available in Designer's operators) or some modification in my expressions might do the trick. Thanks in advance,Kamal
