Hello everyone,
In this sprint, we have changed the way starting process actions works when they are canceled. Note that this is a breaking change, so read these release notes carefully.
We also fixed some issues.

Starting process flow actions after cancelation
Windows GUI Web GUI
We have changed the way starting process actions works when they are canceled.
Previously, an action like addrow would only start the process flow when it succeeded. If a user canceled the flow or if the row could not be saved, the process flow would abort, even if the next step had a red arrow (or unsuccessful flow) that should be followed.
This has been changed for nearly all unsuccessful statuses. Now, a process flow will no longer be aborted if one of the following starting actions is unsuccessful:
- Add row
- Edit row
- Delete row
Only cancellation by the user will abort the process flow.
We think that a process flow should not be started if the starting action has been canceled by a user. If you think differently, please let us know in the Thinkwise Community!
As this is a breaking change, we have added a global extended property called cancelStartingProcessActionWillCancelProcessFlow.
This property is default false, which means the mentioned changes will apply. If you set it to true, you will regain the way it has worked before.
This property has been introduced only as a transition to the new way and to offer time to change your process flows.
It will be removed for the Windows and Web GUIs as of Thinkwise Platform version 2023.2.10.0.
Minor fixes and tasks
- Windows GUI If a user had an expired password due to a password expiration policy, the Windows UI returned an undefined "Authentication failed..." message. It will now return a more helpful "Password expired" error message.
We have also fixed two problems in the Windows GUI regarding the edit mode in a grid.
- Windows GUI We have fixed navigation with Enter in a grid in edit mode. If you used Enter to leave a row, the row was saved, but the focus was lost, and you could not continue navigating with the keyboard. This problem no longer occurs.
- Windows GUI We have fixed clicking a checkbox with a mouse. When clicking a checkbox in an editable grid, you needed an extra click to toggle the checkbox, or it would only toggle each other row. Now, a single click suffices to toggle checkboxes in grid edit mode.
