Hello,While testing our upgrade to 5.9 (FP4), we have noticed that dropdown lists no longer jump to an option when the first letter is typed. For example, if we had a list of US States, in previous versions typing ‘H’ would jump straight to Hawaii. In 5.9 it seems to only select the first ‘blank’ option. Is this by design or is it a bug?

  There is no way to re-size it, and yes the browser is full screen…. 

Can you create an OOF that excludes certain workflow processes? I have sensitive financial information on a certain workflows where OOF should not be applicable.I note there is an exception feature, but that requires to nominate another person to delegate the task to - and won’t allow the original FQN.Any suggestions? And oh, the OOF needs to be created automatically (via a workflow) using smartobjects (or any other means).

HiBecause of the upcoming deprecation of Exchange Online EWS I’m testing moving our environments over to using MSGraph.I upgraded to 5.9 successfully.  Ran the Exchange Online Migrate wizard successfully and email works.  However, it appears when I look at the Connection String editor for mail configuration that its still using EWS as it didn’t add the MSGraph settings.  I checked and the Azure Enterprise app was added successfully with the correct permissions.  The resource shows correctly in Management.  I tried following the article about manually configuring some of the connection string settings but email then failed.   Is the Migrate wizard supposed to take care of all of the settings or am I missing something?  I’ve restored the VM and retried 4 times so far without any luck. 

Is it possible for the Javascript Custom Controls to access the expression and Validation patterns libraries. As i cant see anything in the documentation on how to interact with them.

Is it possible to do this?  

I have downloaded and installed the Material Design 3 custom controls from the Nintex gallery into our K2 5.9 test instance, and am seeing some issues with the rendering of controls.Firstly in View design, it does not seem to render icons at all - it just shows the name of the icon. This I can live with, although not ideal for authoring. Also row heights do not increase with the control heights, so it is not always possible to view the full control - especially with Cards. When you try to select the controls to edit the properties, you must click right at the top of the table cell, and only a slither seems to be selected, rather than the whole control itself - I assume this is what is preventing the row height from increasing.Probably most annoying is that not all icons are displaying correctly or anything like how they show in Google fonts - for instance the ‘person_book’ icon simply displays as a person icon next to a book icon. I assume I am missing a <link> s

We are using K2 SmartObject with Authentication Mode configured as OAuth in K2 5.4 FP23.The issue is that when a user executes the SmartObject via a SmartForm for the first time, the system always redirects the user to the OAuth authorize URL and requires the user to manually provide consent.We would like to know if there is a way to prevent this first-time redirect and consent prompt.Is there any configuration or approach (e.g., admin pre-consent, service account configuration, or token pre-authorization) that would allow users to execute the SmartObject without being redirected to the authorize URL on first use?Our goal is to avoid requiring each end user to manually grant consent when accessing the SmartObject for the first time.Environment: K2 Version: 5.4 FP23 Authentication Mode: OAuth SmartObject executed via SmartForm

Hi,With the closure of EWS later this year, what are K2 doing to address this issue?We have EWS utilised throughout our Workflows for approvals etc.I had a K2 Support ticket in last year (October 2025) asking about this the answer was that the Product team is aware and there will be a solution to this. We need to plan for whatever solution K2 provide, but with the October 2026 deadline and no further news from K2, I’d like to start looking into this sooner than later.Any other customers in the same boat? Thanks
