Hello, We are using strict validation in autocomplete control. Whenever something is added to this field, it shows a standard message: "Item cannot resolve".Can we change this message? Thank you.

When you create a table in a view you get a chance to format it right away. If you ever click of the initial table screen it is nearly impossible to get back to be able to format the entire table. Does anyone have a trick to get back to this? Sometimes if I click just right and the moon and stars are in allignment I can do it. There must be something I am missing.  Very frustrating an not a good use of time.    

Hi,We are developing a solution in K2 to email different users based on their group they are assigned to. We have a one to many relationship with 1 group can have many users in the database. We are trying to use the tree control to allow us to select either the entire group(s) or individuals from different groups. We have noticed when selecting all the users in one group (whether its 2 or 10) it will also append the group ID to the value. So it will look like the following:1,Email1,Email2What we want is the value to look like: Email1,Email2,Email3This will allow us to transfer the value into an email field and use it to send emails. Can anyone suggest anything that will remove the parent Group ID from the value or an alternitive solution for listing values based off what groups have been selected? Thanks,Martin

Is there an OOB SmartObject available to show the count of total tasks assigned to a specific user?  Ideally it would allow input or filter properties for a specific Process Name.  I need to be able to display this on a form without first loading the Worklist Control. 

Is it possible to combine / integrate the SharePoint Standard EditForm.aspx with the K2 Five Workflow Task Action screen/form? I am rebuilding a site that was migrated from a standard Sharepoint 2013 Site into a SharePoint 2016 collection with K2 Five ... I was hoping to use the K2 Five Workflow / Task engine for process while utilizing the current SharePoint Forms until such time as the forms can be redesigned / deployed into K2. I am hoping for a configuration such as attached ... If I use the "Custom Form", the Worklist Web Part will link to the standard SharePoint Form; however, the Save/Cancel action from the form does not return back to the Worklist. It would be great if the Standard SP Form could work like the SmartForm from inside the Task Action page... Thanx!

K2 Five 5.2 Workflow Infinite Loop:  Workflow Update List Item Step with Event: An item was updated Question: Why does the K2 Five Workflow Engine create an infinite loop with the Workflow Step of *Update List Item* with an Event of *An item was updated*? A basic rule-of-thumb.... A workflow should not be able to trigger/envoke itself?   The Standard SharePoint (2010 / 2013) Workflows / Triggers do not cause infinite looping (that's not to say that in the wayback-machine SharePoint Workflows didn't have their own set of issues ... and even different issues today). The workaround I have been using is to set a Start Condition of   ** if originator Display Name  <> PK2ESvc ** The workflow will trigger the first time due to the Origination being the person on the end of keyboard and any subsequent re-triggering from inside use of the *Update List Item* is NOT originated by the end user. Is there intent to ( fix

Hi, I am intrigued to know what experiences other people on the community have had with the K2 Workspace app on mobile devices (K2 Five 5.3).  Having read through the guide, it looks straightforward in the steps to enable. We are looking into the feasibility of having one of the workflows available through a tablet. Has anyone got any experiences with using mobile on K2 Five. For example, did you have to amend any of your forms, Was the Lithium theme fine? Did you have amend the underlying theme in any way? I've read through the guides, just think it would be beneficial to hear about any real-life 'case-studies' before proceeding. ThanksConrad

Hi All,I'm trying to figure out what is the correct order , when installing a new K2 Five server with an existing database, where  the K2 DB contains CUs and fix packs that had been applied in a pervious installation. Can I do like this article suggest  https://help.k2.com/kb001356 and after that simply install  the CUs and fixpacks on the new server? Our maybe first I can install a new server with a new temporary database and apply the updates to make it to the same version level, and than swap the database?

Method : [] Could anybody help us, please?ThanksRegards,Virginia  

Hi, Is there an option in k2 to read an excel from Folder path and save the data present in excel into the database?This functionality should be executed from the Workflow, not from the UI.   

We have encountered an issue while testing a parallel flow. When parallel flow is already started and the main flow of the application encounters an error, the parallel flow activity also expires and the user cannot execute it anymore. The bug here is that the parallel flow activity should still be available even if there is an error from the main flow.This incorrect behaviour is due to the workflow level exception rule in where we perform “GotoActivity” by sending “expire all” parameter as true. As per the documentation we found for K2, if we send false instead of true, only the current activity will be expired instead of all the activities.                          ServerEvent.GotoActivity(eventName, False);However, when we tried after setting the parameter as false, we found that only current activity

Hi,we are trying to change service account using k2 setup manager wizard.in our envr, there're two servers. we stopped the  k2 service on the 1st server,  no txn is to the 2nd server, but k2 service is not stopped on the 2nd server.  upon the setup manager finished, we found the newly added app pool (integrated mode) is stopped in in IIS application pools, we can mannually start it up, but upon refresh, it become stopped again.  But the k2 service is able to startup using the new service account.  howerver all our website using the service account are not able to load. furthermore we discovered we cannot even create a new app pool  in the IIS application pools manually. we hit the error " there are no more endpoints available from the endpoint mapper. (Exception from HRESULT:0x800706D9)". but prior to run the setup mgr, we are able to. the other server is also able to create new app pool manually. we encountered this issue when

Are there other ways to export workflows other than downloading an .exe that then extracts the files? The reason I ask, is that we're unable to extract the files from the .exe (extracting the files generates a CloudStrike warning and stops the extract). So we're looking for another way to extract the files. Ideally, I'd like to script the export with PowerShell if possible, but using the UI is fine if that's the only option. Thanks

Hi, I'm using Get List Item Reference component to retrieve all data from SharePoint list and created a reference at output mappings.  But since SharePoint list has duplicate entries, we've duplicate values in the created reference.  We need to remove duplicate entries/values from the reference or we need unique values from the reference in the workflow itself. Is there any OOTB feature or workarounds available? 

Im attempting to create a process that after filling in a smart form from an initial client event, will create a series of client events with essentially the same data only with different due dates for completion. It will use recurring reference data and have some fields necessary for completion of that particular task.  So essentially a loop that once a person starts the process via smart form, it creates say 5 tasks all due at intervals in the future. The date calculations are easy I just cant get the process to behave correctly. Any ideas? Thanks Dave

Hi,I'm working on a project where the workflow needs to assign task to any user in a particular group. What are the differnt ways in which this can be done.  

Hi All, We are in the process of changing our SmartObjects and Workflows to be 5.X compliant.  We currently use SharePont SmartObjects under the SharePoint Services V2 Service Object Intance.  From what I understand, this service object instance is being depreicated in version 5.x...  We are dealing with that...  I also understand that SharePoint Integration and SharePoint Events are changing.  Currently, we use a lot of the SharePoint Events in our workflows.  I also understand, that these are going away, but functionality will be avialable with SmartObject calls.   Will we have to change our WorkFlows when we upgrade to K2 5.x ?? Thanks in advance,Dean

I know that K2 4.7 can use SSRS to export report,  we plan to propose K2 Five + SSRS but I found that SSRS not finalized yet in K2 Five from https://help.k2.com/k2compatibilitysupportmatrix#SQLServer.  Can I develop in K2 4.7 with SSRS and package and deploy the whole solution to K2 Five? Or who can tell me another method？ Thanks very much.

Hello,  I am trying to create a reference to a smart object in a smart form. Currently i only have one entry in the smart object, so the ID reference is just 1. I am wanting the smart object to be updated regularly by others and then displaying this information into the smart form, so they can see the information before submitting a request. My main issue is that i can not figure out how to make the ID reference to be the most recent update to the smart object (e.g. if i had updated the smart object 3 times the refernece would be 3).  Is there any way for me to be able to do this? Would greatly appreciate any assistance.  Thanks!
