We have a workflow that creates a subsite in SharePoint. The first challenge we had was that we couldn't see custom templates from the Create Subsite action in the workflow designer, which is annoying but not the end of the world. The more substantial problem is setting permissions on the newly created subsite. I can set Stop Inheriting Permission and provide a relative url but the actions around granting permission all seem to act on the top level site and don't give me an option to specify the newley created site. When I try to add a user or group to a role, it does that at the top level site. Update subsite lets me change title or description, but not the permissions. I feel like I must be missing something obvious because it can't be this difficult to change permissions on a newly created site.

Hello, we have a list view (that shows SP list items via "Get List Items") that we want to filter with a "search dialog"==> so I created a view with the "search possibilities" (8 controls) But I cannot realy "search" or "filter" the list view... we need to combine the search fields with AND and if I use the filter tab in the "get list items" view method I do not get the correct results if I have more than one search field but use only one... example:I have two columns (RequesterName and AppName) and thus two search fields (named similar)I set up the filters with "contains" and combined them with "and" If I "search" for "Requester=Name1" and "AppName=App1" then K2 will combine it and the list view will show items that contains "Name1" for Requester AND contains "App1" for AppName. But if one search field is empty it will remove all list items... Is it possible to give a wild card to the filter option? regards,Johann

I have setup a CheckBox List control with static values and then a final value called 'Other'.  I want to be able to apply a rule that checks if 'Other' has been selected and if so, show a hidden textbox control. Is this possible?

Does anyone's roles involve designing responsive html emails by any chance? if so I'd like to ask what tool you use for that. The website topol.io used to work pretty well for that(up until K2 Five 5.2) , but now when I send emails using their design from K2, it displays the Desktop version on mobile and the mobile version on Desktop (outlook) so idk what happened with it. I've tried a few other email design websites but they all seem to have some sort of issue.Basically my question is, does anyone know of a good responsive email designer that works well on K2? it could be a software or a website.

In K2 5 why  are the Add and Delete functions missing from a list view I make edit able.

Hi, I've created my own approval form which is re-used in multiple places in my workflow and am using a drop down list to show the available actions. Up until now I've used static values in the drop down as the actions have always been 'Approve' and 'Reject'. I now have an approval style task that has a different set of actions so would like to retrieve the available actions for a task dynamically via a SmartObject. I've had a good look and can't find one that would do this. Any ideas? Thanks, Ben

We have configured reverse proxy according to the instructions in this blog post:https://blog.jikai.sg/setup/7/  The designer, management and workspace are serving up correctly when accessed from the internet while some forms and views' URLs are not resolving. They are still pointing to the local server URL as a result, throws 404 error. Additionally, the task forms are not showing up in the workspace iframe as it ought to. How can I resolve this?Any help would be great, Thanks.

Hi, Anyone implemented a way to save a form as the user goes along, then allowing them to save it and then pick-up filling it in later? If so, is there any way to manage this so drafts don't just sit around in the system if unfilled etc?Also, is there a way of allocating security, so that only that user can open the draft and continue? Thanks

Hi, We have a workflow where a task can be completed from a Smartform or a SmartAction and we need to know where the source of a completed action was from. We need to report back on which functionality is more widely used. Are there any existing reports that I can use? Thanks in advance

We are using K2 5.2 with SharePoint Online and see no means to select a theme.  We'd actually like to establish one of the out of the box themes (probably Lithium or SharePoint 2013) as an initial standard default for all forms, then worry about tweaking the branding later. Right now, the only option in the Style properties is (Custom), which shall we say leaves too much latitude to form creators naive to UI best practices.   I've been through all the corners of the designer and management apps that I could discover and found no option to apply themes to the forms, nor to enforce a default--which is what I really want to do. What am I missing in my efforts to have our spanking new Smartforms NOT  look like ransom notes?  ;) Thanks.Bob

Hello,  B4 k2 Five we were using No Distianation plan slot to start a multiple chil Prcoess parallel. No this is no more in k2 Five . So my query is how we can start Parallel Sub Process in k2 Five.  One way we have k2 Five loop control in this we can loop this and then start the process but what is the blocker here this will start one by one I mean loop will start the child process and wait to complete then go in to loop again. we dont need this . We need to start child process parallel as it was in 4.7 Any idea ? 

Anyone had this before? Its preventing forms from loading: Hostlogs saying 10702 An error occurred in the ADService2 Service Instance. K2 Service and IIS restarted, makes no difference.Also refreshed the adservice just in case, still a problem Any ideas?

Hi, Our K2 environment appears to be defaulted to use standard HTTP Protocol. We are looking into exposing K2 Data via Power BI and further down the line utilise the K2 Workspace Mobile App. In both instances I understand HTTPS protocol must be used. How does one configure K2 to use HTTPS rather than HTTP? Side note:I'm having an issue trying to use the K2 Process Analytics PowerBI connector (https://help.k2.com/powerbipreviewcontentpack). Nothing happens when I click sign in, I believe this could be as my SmartObject OData URL is HTTP and not HTTPS. I'm hoping correctly configuring K2 to use the HTTPS protocol will resolve this. Thanks

Hi All, When actioning a task using the action bar on the bottom of the workspace the form disappears with the fade type of action so that the task is no longer active on the page. When I custmize a form to show the smartform with the worklist item on the bottom of the form that functionality no longer works. How do I create a rule or something that will remove the form from the workspace inbox list when the user submits it? Right now they have to click off that form onto another one and refresh the inbox.

Is there documentation / examples available for the following (from a Citizen Developer POV): Note:  Invocation desired from client browser using javascript / jQuery / ajax  off of a standard SharePoint Site Page (wiki page) using a button. Simple way to validate K2 REST API is active and available?

I have upgraded the K2 4.7 to 5.0, everything working fine. I am facing the issue while deploying the Workflow from K2 Designer only, Error : Receiving Buffer:An existing connection was forcibly closed by the remote host. please help me to solve this issue, i have reconfigure the k2, everything looks good but issue still exist.  

Has anyone developed or come up with a way to send a basic http post using k2 workflow? The difficulty I have is the url I want to send a post to is inside my network and so ms flow doesn't recognize the url and fails. I was hoping that since k2 is setup inside my network I can somehow send a simple http post to a url and possible accept a get. It would be awesome to have a service that did this natively so that I can integrate k2 with a rabbitmq server. Any ideas? Thanks,Ben

I developed a K2 Smartform/Views solution which is using Smart Object created in SharePoint 2010 version. I dont have development or test envrionment and I have production only  copy of this solution. After SharePoint upgrade to 2013 I could not figure out how to connect my exisiting solution to new SP 2013 list Smart object as updating smart object in views was breaking functionality.  I created new Smart Objects based out of SP 2013 list and updated methods of 2010 Smart Objects to point to SP 2013 service. So technically my Smart Objects are still based out of SP 2010 but interacting with SP 2013 because I tweaked methods to connect to 2013 service. Admin team did not removed SP 2010 web application yet but eventually they have to.  My question is - Will removing SharePoint 2010 will automatically break my SP 2010 based Smart Objects even though they are consuming 2013 services? Any suggestion how can I connect my views to 2013 smart object without breaking functionality would be hi
