Using K2 Five, I created a Purchase approval process and I am getting a "Key could not be found in the collection" error after clicking the submit button on the form.Going in to the form rules, I notice that this takes place in the "Start the PR Workflow" step. When I click configure, there are 3 item references in the workflow input fields (Purchase req header, Purchase req details and attachements smart objects). The message goes away if I remove the Purchase req detail smart object but then the workflow doesnt start. This error wasn't there before and the form was working perfectly. could someone explain why this happens and how to resolve?Thanks,MAref

I have a form with several views yet the undrlying SmartObject covers all the views on the form not individual views. I added a property  Cost center, to the smart object  and added the property to one views. When doing this There wer No fields in the view in left panel I could add. So I manually  mapped thr field it back to the smart object in the rules configuration, Yet when I execute the form and implement the create method in the code, all the data is saved but the new field Cost Center is not. What steps have I missed or what is going on?  

I have a control that contains multiple values, i.e. AV, Shades..., based on the content a rule either hides or shows other controls based. Is there a way to check for two or more values without having to re-write the rules for each value? 

Hello, I am new to K2 and I am trying to write an expression on a text box on a form to display a payroll cut off date which is the last week day of the month. I can get the last day of the month using the built in end of month operator but I am struggling to subtract days if the last day of the month is a Saturday or a Sunday. I have tried using an If weekday is Saturday then subtract days of 1 or if weekday is Sunday subtract 2 days but this results in a False being displayed. Has anyone done something similar or can advise the best way to achieve this? I also thought I would need a else just display the date but I don’t see an operator of Else.

Hello, I was wondering if there is a way to have my forms/folders in the K2 workspace sort in Alphabetical order.Attached is a screenshot of what my forms looks like in the workspace.In K2 management the forms are sorted alphabetically but this isn't how the forms appear in the workspace. Is there a way to change this, or is this how the forms load in?

I used the guide: https://help.k2.com/onlinehelp/k2five/icg/5.2/default.htm#Configure/SF/MultiAuthAAD.htm%3FTocPath%3DConfigure%7CK2%2520Site%7C_____2 After the configuration, I was able to generate a service instance and smartobjects.  I can use the User SmO and get AAD users.   I then created a Realm so that users can log into K2 using AAD.  However, I'm now getting 2 errors:1)  When trying to add an AAD user to the security in Management: "Service: URMService Service Guid: 4c2f62ea-be8d-4600-a2b5-185902bdd20a Severity: Error Error Message: Exception has been thrown by the target of an invocation. OAuth token requires authorization. InnerException Message: "2) When attempting to log into Management using the AAD realm:

Users in the Security Administrator role (Users/Roles/Security Administrators) are not seeing choices in their Management menu for the Workflow Server or for Mobile.  We need the administrator to give another employee Server Rights.  Where does someone need to be added so they can administer users' Workflow Server/Server rights?  Just to clarify, we know how to add Workflow Server/Server rights, but we don't know how to make someone an administrator in order to add those rights.  The Security Administrator doesn't even see the Workflow Server in the Management menu.

Can iireset operation repair and/or replace the missing codebase ="code" automatically from the K2HostServerProd.exe.config? Thank you in advance.

Dear all I have a form with two date fields: start and end date.Now I need to create a sharepoint-list item for every single day from start-date to end-date. How can I create this loop?I searched the k2 community but I only found a link to a "How to create a loop" that isn't working anymore and a similar question from 2018 that isn't answered.(https://community.k2.com/t5/K2-Five/K2-Five-Workflow-Loop-through-Specified-date/m-p/106347)RegardsViktor

I am from a College and we are new to K2 - I have a view set up where I select a course number from a drop-list that is based on a smartobject (SQL).  Once a course is selected I would like to display the grade mode that is associated with the course that is selected.  This grade mode is also in the same Smartobject (SQL).   My view is based on a Smartbox Smartobject that I created with K2.   I have not been sucessful in displaying the Grade Mode once I select the course from the drop-down.  I do not want the field to be a picker field, as it is strictly for display.  There is nothing the user needs to select. Is this possible and if yes, how?  Thank you for any guidance you can offer. Maureen

Hello, We wanted to change Security Label from AAD to AAD Auth in Authentication->Claims, so we done as it said in Step 4 'Add the AAD security Label in K2' in this article: https://help.k2.com/onlinehelp/K2Five/icg/current/default.htm#Configure/SF/MultiAuthAAD.htm?Highlight=azure%20active%20directoryBut after trying to overwrite old Security label from AAD to AAD Auth with the same SQL Script (but SecurityLabelName changed), all Azure Authentication stopped working and we can no longer validate new users. Even after running this script again with AAD as SecurityLabelName it didn't help - Azure Active Directory doesn't work anymore. What can we do make it work again? I attached error.

Is there a way to turn off a max limit display of record rows on an AutoComplete Control? It appears it stops at 100 and we have more records to show.

According to the K2 Security Assessment and Penetration Testing 2020 results, one item with medium severity of the pen test of October 2019 remained open after the retest in January 2020. It was supposed to be mitigated during software updates in the course of 2020. Does anyone know if they have eliminated this server-side request forgery issue within a specific SmartForms control allowing an attacker to discover internal endpoints?

Hi K2 Community,We have implemented a payment form with a file upload field where we can import a CSV file with the list of suppliers we want to pay. After uploading the CSV file you can see the list but its dropping of suppliers whose name is too long. Here are a few screenshots of the process: https://prnt.sc/slrorj https://prnt.sc/slrpk6 (one supplier missing) https://prnt.sc/slrq46 (csv file I have looked into the smart object the SupplierName field and it was set to Text type and I changed it to Memohttps://prnt.sc/slrtni  But the list view is still dropping off suppliers with a longer name. Please help is there any place I can change the character limit?

I want to use the Worklist Control but do not want the ability for users to Approve, Reject without opening the form on the Actions.  How can I do this?  I do want to show the other actions such as redirect, share, view flow.  Is this possible?  In my screen shot, I just want the Open Form, View Flow, Share, Redirect options available. 

Hi All, I have an SDA connection into our network and i'm attempting to access the CRM. I am able to telnet to the CRM server and the actual connection is working but I am now getting an error message of "The authentication endpoint Username was not found on the configured Secure Token Service." I've searched the web for information and I am not getting much help for the articles. My crm version is 20*personal details removed*.1.1.1005. Can anyone provide some direction on making the connection given the specific error? Thanks,Ben

Hello Community! I'm researching K2 Five for SharePoint, and I was told that this particular design tool (i.e. K2 for SharePoint) is only available in SharePoint Online, but I don't see anything in the literature I've found so far that suggests that this is true. Can you help me clear this up? Thanks! Tom

Any user in my SharePoint Online environment who has edit rights or greater can create smartobjects, forms, and workflows. In the old system I could control this by now allowing the user to have designer solution access but now that option has been removed. I have blocked users in the management from access desginer but they are still able to select the K2 dropdown in a sharepoint list or library and go to applications and select smartobjects, forms, and workflows. They are blocked from modifying those but are still able to create them. Anyone have information on how to restrict access to everyone except a select group of people in creating these items?

Hi, I have my first solution that I have succesfully deployed to live, basically a new form that starts an approval process when the save button is clicked. However, only myself as workflow author can succesfully submit the form, everyone else either gets a message saying the user does not have rights to to start the workflow or they get no message, but it just 'whirrs' and doesn;t progress (ie hangs). I have set the workflow rights via the manament tool and everyone has the correct rights, but I have set this on our test server and have deployed the package from test to live. Am I also supposed to add these rights to the workflow on the live server (if so this could be the problem), or should the packaged solution include the workflow rights I have applied on the test server? Any thoughts, bit pointless if only I can use it lol

After installing K2 Blackpearl,I'm facing some issue with MS VS2010.    "The 'WorkflowPackage' package didnot load correctly.   The problem may have been caused by a configuration change or by the installation of another extension.You can get more information by running the application together with the /log parameter on the command line, and then examining the file 'C:Usersvishal_singh12AppDataRoamingMicrosoftVisualStudio10.0ActivityLog.xml'     How to fix this error? 

Hi,  I am trying to create an editable list view in trial K2, But it seems like the trial version is not saving any records.Is this like a limitation for the trial edition? after adding multiple records    Any help is much appreciated, I am fresh to K2 platform. Thanks in advance,

Good morning As new users of the K2 platform I am still learning best practice in building workflows, however current feedback for our deployed processes is overwhelmingly positive! One issue I have is that if a task recipient is absent and has not set an out of office (reasonably common place), I would like to give the originator the choice to redirect the task to a recipient with appropriate authority. At present, if the recipient hasn't actioned the task within 1 hour, the originator receives an email to remind them that the authorisation task has not been actioned, which is merely a prompt to check with the recipient. There may be a valid reason that the step takes longer than an hour (due to urgency or workload etc.) so it's not simply  a case of routing the task back to the originator after a period of time.  One solution seems to be that the originator is copied into the task but this routes the task to both recipient and originator and seems a bit scrappy. Is there a way that I
