Does anyone know how to automatically validate duplicate row entry on a list view based on the first column either during each row entry or on form submit/validate. Or ignore the duplicate value when list is called?     This is wrong:   

the K2 Designer now errors with:Could not load file or assembly 'K2Field.K2Forms.Controls.Literal' or one of its dependencies. The system cannot find the file specified.

Hello, I receive the following error in a view:  Any idea how to solve this? Thank you very much!

Hi, I am trying to get the serial number of the workflow using Process Instance ID and Activity Destination ID which should look like this ProcessID_ActivityDestinationID (2808_34), Unfortunatly I can't see neither of them in my workflow which makes it impossible for me to get the serial number using those two fields. However, I am able to get the Process ID from workflow context but not the Activity Destination ID.  I read a lot online about how people get the Serial Number using two tabs Process Instance and Activity Destination Instance. Again, both of these I can't see! I attached a picture of what I can actually see, If any one can please help me get the Activity Desitination ID or have an idea why I can't the two tabs(Process Instance and Activity Destination Instance). I would really apperciate it. I am using K2 version: 4.7Thanks Saied

Hi all, I have added a datalabel column in listview and applied some very basic html to display checkbox in that column using expression. These checkboxes can be checked and unchecked. But when I click the "Update Services" toolbar button I did not find any easy way to read the values of these checkboxes row by row. Kindly guide me how to do that with some sample code.There could be an option for doing that using click event of this checkbox using javascript in expression, assign its checked/unchecked value to the next column's cell. But how to access the current row and next using javascript in expression. I will be grateful for your guidance and help.   Thanks and Regars 

Is there a possibilty to select a row in list view programmatically (via rule or javascript code), so that the item click event will be fired? E.g. select the row with id = 1234.One thing to mention: a "list item click"-method exists for a view, but there a no input mappings for it. So, what is it good for? 

(Using Smartobject created from a SharePoint List)New Item FormHi, I am totally new to K2 and was quite pleased with myself for creating a 'New Item Form' that has 40 columns originally which I have split into 8 tabbed views.  I've even added a fancy auto calculation to show the progress dynamically on the form.. the 'save' buttons do post succesfully back to the SP List ... All Good I thought :-)Edit FormI made a copy of all of the views I had created for the new form (9 in total) and then made a copy of the OOTB K2 Edit Form and was hoping to just import the copied views and change the action on the 'Save Buttons to an 'update list item method' as opposed to a 'create list item method'.However, my new edit form and views does not retrieve the data from the sp list item (when accessed directly from the SP List itself)I looked at the rules from the OOTB original edit form and tried to emulate it on the copied form/views but I just get errors saying the columns i am trying to populate o

Hello, I am attempting to use a Drop-down list column in my list view. The other columns in the list draw  from a single data source  (table A),  and the drop-down column will also be coming from that same source. I created a separate SmartObject that could be mapped to table A, which I could then use to create the drop-down column. However,  the  values don't display for this column, but they do show up when I double click a row to edit it. Any help with this would be appreciated!

Hi, I am using a SP List smartobject (created from the list itself) and when inserting the fields into a View of a smartform, they don't all seem to work. 1) A SP Choice Column imports as expected and retains the SP List column drop down values2) A People Picker column seems to import itself as a basic text column and does not interact with active directory, just converts to a text input field3) A managed meta data column in SP imports itself as a drop down field but just whirs and doesn't dop anything? Do you have to manually set up the latter two again or should smartform columns know what they are and configure them for me? If the latter then maybe it's something wrong with our deployment (or something I'm doing!) Thanks, Julie

I have a form with a smartbox SMO used in a claims process. How do I build in a validation in a text field to check whether the claim number you're trying to enter does not already exist in order to prevent duplicate from being captured in the db? ThanksCoenie

Hi, Is there a scripty/data label way of increasing the height of the text area as each new line is reached? I followed this thread: but the height increases each time a character is entered, which ends up with a huge gap at the bottom of the text area.Also, the first solution only works if you click outside of the text area, which is pointless, as the user isn't likely to do that. Is there a way to have the text area add a line to the height each time a new line starts? Thanks

Hi All. I was hoping someone can help me understand what I am missing here in terms of how the For Each works in Studio. I have attached a document to help visualize and tell my story. I am pulling the records in using the table_id field as my index/reference and only wanting to process the PENDING status records. For each record it then calls the same table list passing in the table_id to return all the other field values, calls the AD smart object to create the Active Directory records with the fields, then sets the STATUS to COMPLETED. It only runs though for the first record. If I remove the filter/input mapping of PENDING it will process all the records as I would expect it too. What am I missing here? Thanks, Steve

Hi I have a form which is used to start workflow on the Start Activity. The form originator can either save the form and come back later, or submit the form. Both actions have different outcomes. I can specify two outcomes on Start Activity while designing the K2 workflow but how to configure these actions on the form. The Form has two buttons at the bottom:1) Save: This should follow Save outcome from Start activity2) Submit: this should follow submit outcome from Start activity. How to accomplish this please?PS: I am using K2 Designer to build workflow and smartform.  Kind regards 

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!     

Hello, I am seeking help on following. Let me explain you the scenario. I have created Smartbox SMO which contains details about Leave Year, Alloted leaves, Balance leaves and Availed leaves. Based on this SMO I created 02 Views as follows. 1. Alloted Leaves List View: This view contains details about Leave Year, Number of leaves and Total leaves etc.2. Availed Leaves List View: This view conatins details about Balance Leaves and Availed leaves. Now when New / Edit form gets loaded - User will select Alloted List View rows and based on this selection I want to display Availed and Balance leaves in another list view. So please can someone help me on this?  ThanksSachin 

Can someone point me to the documentation on how to restrict permissions to an Editable list view for a SmartObject? I've tried restricting permissions via Management, but the user that is testing can us the editable list URL to edit.  Any advice on what am I doing wrong? Thanks!

Hi, Anyone know what Pattern can be used on a Text box to include everything EXCEPT the " special character?Rather than build up the pattern to say which special characters can be used, is there a way to do the pattern to include everything except 1 special character? Reason for this is that special character is breaking my workflows. Thanks

I am getting the 'SmartObject property ID is a required property for selected method Load. Value must be set.' error message. I have a form with two views which are sharing a smartbox object.  I want the first view to update details about a course change (entered by an instructor), and I then have a task sent to records mgmt to open the smartbox item and update some 'Office Use' fields on the same smartbox object.  I am using buttons to action the form, since I have multiple fields in the office use view I need updated. I am getting the error after opening the task for review. My workflow appears to work (in general), since I can still confirm or deny the request on the second view. I cannot find where I need to update to pass the ID to the workflow to open the second view without getting this error.  Any help? I will try and include screen shots. Thanks!

I am trying to register the drag-and-drop control from the K2 Martket Place.   I've copied the DragAndDropControl.dll to the Designer and Runtimes bin directory.  I'm trying to register the assembly using this command.  controlutil.exe register -assembly:“C:Program Files (x86)K2 blackpearlK2 SmartForms DesignerBinDragAndDropControl.dll” I get an error saying "The given path's format is not supported".  at System.Security.Permissions.FileIOPermission.EmulateFileIOPermissionChecks It appears that I don't have security to do this function.  But the account I'm using is a special account created when the K2 enviornment was built.  (I didn't build the K2 environment.) Has anyone ever seen this message?  And knows what it's telling me?  

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
