Hi K2 Community, Is it fine for us to use normal administrator account other than K2 accounts to apply K2 patch?If it is fine for us to use normal administrator account, may we check what are the permissions or configurations required in order to install K2 patch using normal administrator account? Thank you!  

Is there a way to remove or put a watermark in the Empty Selection of a drop down?    Datasource is SQL and our QA mentioned an empty value is not necessarily best scenario.  We don't want to default a value and if the Empty Selection is turned off it auto populates with first record in the list. Anyway to get around this if you are unable to touch the data to add a 'select a record' type row?   

Hi, what is the Best way to save the action history for the workflow actions in business tables 

We are on K2 5.4 FP 11. The K2 management site was throwing an error that was fixed in FP 8 so we were baffled. Turns out that we had run a setup manager reconfigure after applying the FP to change some configuration parameters and did not re-apply the FP as per the documentation so the FP was essentially rolled back?!The way I understand it, a FP does 2 things a) updates the K2 database b) updates binaries in the K2 Program Files folder on the app server. The former can be verified using this and the latter can be verified because the Setup Manager box has a label on the top right stating the Version and FP level.Having said this, can someone explain why re-applying the FP is necessary after running a reconfigure? How exactly can the software magically revert to an older version just by running the (updated!) setup manager? Thanks

HiI was wondering if it possible to categorized application forms by folder in K2 workspace app (mobile). For example, I have 2 application form under leave system and 3 application form under claim system. If possible, I want all application form for their respective system is categorized under a folder so leave system will have 2 form under a folder called Leave and claim system will have 3 form under a folder called Claim. Currently all application forms for all system is group together in K2 workspace app mobile as below pic.  TyRegards Syahrizal

Hi, Has anyone had any experience of creating a service instance of the freshService API (SDM Software).  We have only to do, created service instances that connect to our on prem sql databases, not an external API. Is it doable for a start and if so, has any had any issues with any limitations (such as data quantity returned etc). Many thanks, Julie

Hi all,We’ve made the (unfortunate) choice to store our ‘out of office’ information in K2 (worklistshare) as we were lead to believe it would be useable out of the box. Unfortunately that is not the case and we now need to build some custom code around this information. So how do we access the worklistshare info from a .net (preferable core) application? I’ve tried using the management API - SourceCode.Workflow.Client but it seems like that is not compatible with .net core. TLDR :)Is it at all possible to access info from K2 (via API, web service…) from .net core? Any suggestions are greatly appreciated.kind regards,Michael
