🚀 Ideas to be 10X faster - which SF workaround to eliminate?

Compared to other platforms, Thinkwise really excels in productivity. Especially the fact that creating a Data Model immediately results in a working Application is unparalleled! One of the current strategic priorities is to double down on this development speed of the Thinkwise Platform: we strive to make every Developer a mythical 10X Developer!There are a lot of angles we can work in order to achieve that goal. As a first, we want to fix unnecessary limitation in the Software Factory (SF). This means we want to tackle those things for which you as Developer have to create workarounds to get functionality working the way you(r users) need it.There are a lot of great Ideas out there and of course we'll review the existing ones. But I would also like to call upon the Community to highlight which existing Ideas would be your priority and/or to create new Ideas related to eliminating SF workarounds (please keep it to this scope in this topic).Could you please:Reply with Ideas that would

Importingfunctionality while while hiding add, copy and edit buttons.

Inside the Software factory it is possible to enable importing on a table even when that same table does not have permissions to CRUD. This creates a conflict because without those permissions I can’t import, yet I can start the import task up to the point where I can select an importtype. It will throw an error.In relation to above I’ve been trying to hide the CRUD buttons while maintaining the import functionality, is this possible?What Ive tried myself is:Deactivating permissions > breaks import Hidding the button types in the lay > breaks importIf it’s possible, how? If it’s not possible why is the import task available when the buttons are hidden / permissions are off.

Is the "Start empty with filter" working as intended in the Universal GUI?

Reading a response by Arie I saw the mention of “Start empty with filter” option that on can use on Subject. Excited that this is seemingly working in Universal, I tried the feature. The result is however different than what I was expecting.Windows GUI:When opening a screen from the menu, you will have it load without results and a Filter Form popup will happen.You can choose to straight away filter or click “OK” without entering filter data. In the last situation all the data will load as if you had never chosen to enable the option “Start empty with filter”.Universal GUI:When opening a screen from the menu, you will have it load without results and it will show a text in the grid “Use find or filter to view data”.I have to open the Filter Form myself if I want to use it or start using the Combined Filter.So far this is acceptable even though it works a bit different. The part where it does not actually do what I would like, is that I can never get the full data show anymore. After I

Badge count is Zero on the main screen

Hi,I have a scenario here, that the badge count becomes 0, but originally it has a value.What could be the cause that the count becomes 0 from the tile main menu. Big tiles - navigating big tiles will redirect to a page Small tiles – are those open tiles Main Menu Screen Selecting the above Tile, example Big Tile 1, will display below screenshot, and each record once selected, the small tile on the ride side has Badge count that is changing accordinglyTile 1 Page The inside Tile has Badge count, but after clicking it, and go back to the main menu screen (the first screenshot) , the count become 0 in the main menu. Any of the 4 inside tiles, whenever we navigate and accessing it from main screen menu the count becomes 0.  But from the Page (Tile 1 Page) it always has a value.Please advice, where could possibly got wrong.Thank you

Write file process action - target file path (output) not working?

Hi  I have a process that I've been troubleshooting why the file is not saving to the target file path,  First I've tried to use absolute path but it's not working, then I use relative path which is the screenshot and still not working. Then I figure out that I have to put the relative path under the Target file name, in order to save to the expected path like below.   I'm just curious why the target file path is not functioning as expected? or did I missed out something? Please advice Thank you

TSF_dotNET.exe versus TSF_CS.exe

We consider using TSF_dotNET.exe instead of TSF_CS.exe from a network share for starting the Windows GUI in a terminal server setup. This way we want to avoid the growth of the App Data folder. Are there any disadvantages to this idea?

OAuth Refresh Token Connector Works in Windows GUI but Fails in Universal/System Flow

I’m experiencing an issue with the OAuth Refresh Token connector. It does not seem to function well in Universal or as a scheduled system flow.When changing the system flow and adding a table task to manually trigger the flow in the Windows GUI I successfully get a new access token with the current refresh token.But when I manually trigger the flow from the Universal GUI, or let the system flow run automatically (after changing it back to a system flow by removing the table task) in the background it fails. It seems like it can’t find the client_id, even though the OAuth Server seems to be configured correctly (It works in the Windows GUI after all).This is the errors I get in the Universal Indicium log:2025-01-29T13:29:44.2598716+01:00 8000e24f-0000-e700-b63f-84710c7967bb [ERR] Process action "oauth_refresh_token_connector_HMRC" in process flow "pf_hmrc_get_outcomes" in application 800 returned the following message: "invalid_requestclient_id is required" (ec7db0a5)2025-01-29T13:29:44

Archive a protected branch

Hello everyone,We have a protected branch that served as the version branch for a major change we made to the software. This has since been merged back into the MAIN branch and we now want to archive this protected branch. All branches with that version branch as its origin have been merged and/or archived. Is there a way to get this branch archived. If I need to delete all branches that have branched from this version branch I get the following error no matter how long ago they have merged: How can I archive the protected overlaying branch anyway, and if it is not possible without deleting the child branches, how can I get these deleted anyway?

System flow - start date bug

Hi, I have made a system flow that mainly consists of 3 sub flows and a decision + 2 tasks for handling data of a flag value. This is the diagram in SF:The initial decision checks if the flag value can allow the process to start, otherwise it goes to end.In the execute subflows, the main process is based on doing repetitive GET calls on ms graph endpoints in order to recieve data for microsoft plans, buckets and tasks. For those processes I use some DTO tables in order to store the fresh data and at end of each subflow, the data from dto table/tables is sync in a transaction with the data from our environment. When I schaduled the flow to 1 minute for example, everything went smooth and I could see the changes in our environment but things went a little strange when I changed the scaduler to start the process each 5 seconds.In my oppinion it should check for the flag value and if this is not yet released from the previous run, it should stop the system flow immediately.

Possible bug when switching between dropdown options

Hi!We have the following situation, we have some elements that each can have attached a picture.When the list element is changed, as you can see in the video, the image is not updated on UI, even if in background it seems like it does. At the moment of the video the background image was updating but only at css level, however we encountered also times when it stays the same.It shows the a2 image for a1 on both ui and cssthe proper image for a1Looks like if we select an element without an image or clear the element and select after that one with image it works, but this is just a remark, not a fix.

"Full" vs "Smart" Generation method

Recently we started the discussion in our develop team again if a “Smart” generation would be ‘smart’ when deploying to PROD. This as a smart deployment is most of the time much faster then a full deployment. And the fact that we deploy during office-hours we want our deployment to be as fast and smooth as possible.I think I had a chat with a Thinkwise Thinkwise-developer a year of 2 ago, and he stated that he always uses the Full method as he believed this was a more ‘reliable’ way of deploying.As there has been done a lot of work in optimization of the SF Generation in the last couple of year, we wonder if “Smart” is advised to use for deployment in PROD environments.

Process flow action "Change filter" possible when Meta does not allow. (Working as intended?)

When setting my role for a certain process flow, I noticed that the “Filter” was not enabled in “Meta”: Set Filter allowed, but Meta is disabledI had indeed not allowed “Filter” on the Subject and for the “Filter” I had set all columns to “Visible for filter” = “Never”.It came to a surprise that my Process flow was actually working and indeed using the “Change filter” action.Reading up in the documentation I see this:Description under process flow action “Change filter”I would think my situation is not conforming this statement as the Subject does not allow nor have any columns enabled for filtering.The reason I had initially disabled the filter options, was that I wanted to prevent a user attempting to change a filter and later I decided the research my process flow options.Now my main question is, is this functionality working as intended?I am happy it works as it does now, but I want to be aware when this is not supposed to work like this and might get fixed, causing these flows to

License renewal not working after upgrading from 2022.2 to 2024.2

Tuesday february 11th 2025 we upgraded our environment from 2022.2 to 2024.2.The 2022.2 environment had a valid license until 2025-05-12 as was showing in the indicium log.After the upgrade (which by the way took about 10 hours to complete!) the application and connected systems proved to be working.Unfortunately a message popped up regarding the license to be expiring after 7 days. We thought this was due to the missed license update time frame and expected this message (afflicting all users logging in) to be solved the next day.Unfortunately the messagebox keeps popping up until today. At this moment the counter says 4 days.Last thursday I already filed an issue in TCP but so far no response. Today I filed a reminder.To avoid any more time consuming delays I have extensively checked the community today with the following results:Post regarding automatic license renewal:https://community.thinkwisesoftware.com/questions-conversations-78/problem-automatic-license-renewal-2021-1-2043?tid

DevExpress bold fields

Hi,I created a report in DevExpress, and in the previewer, the columns appear exactly as I want, including the ones set to bold. However, when I use the preview component in Universal, those columns are no longer bold but appear in regular font.I use DevExpress Report Designer_1.70 and Universal GUI 2024.3.13.0.0. I checked in the Windows GUI, and the bold font is working fine, so it is just a Universal issue.Does anyone know how to fix this issue? See below the screenshots.Universal PreviewDevExpress Preview

Hi, I'm trying to setup a multi tenant multi application environment, where i have created a new Tenant for a new Application and made this user only an User Administrator for the new Tenant. The issue i'm running in to is that the new Tenant that is only User Admin for the new Tenant can still see all users from the other tenants. Note that i'm only having this issue 1 environment, local and on our test environment this works without any issues. Working setup on test: TESTENANT has 2 users in the tenant where one is an user administrator.Tenant Users with TESTENANT When logged in as the TESTENANT user admin i can only see users for this Tenant   Not working setup with the same settings:Tenant 4 & 5 only have an User Administrator Green is Tenant 5, Yellow tenant 4   When logged in as Tenant 5 user Administrator we can see all users from all Tenants, where Tenant 5 only contains 2 users linked to that Tenant.   I tried the exact same thin in this environment

Multiple API calls to same process flow at the same time

Hello,I have a question about a process flow which I made specifically for an integration with another application, say “App B”.The process flow makes sure to merge the correct record into the correct tables. There is some custom logic where checks are done whether to insert or to update the record. This is an atomic transaction.We have a webhook configured in App B, which means that every update App B receives is immediately send to our Thinkwise application. Now it seems that App B is updated via an integration as well. Sometimes, this means that the same record in App B gets updated multiple times in rapid succession.Our process flows is not able to handle this correctly. I get the following error: Cannot insert duplicate key row in object “XXX” Do you have any recommendations in order to solve this issue?Will simply rewriting my check into a merge statement rather than the custom check help resolve the issue? The issue is that I have no easy way to test the issue in another environ

Global configurations in IAM

What is the status of the Global Configurations in the IAM? since which version they are neglected?  It used to be that you had the option to set the globalconfiguration in the INI file and it would overrule the extended properties at application level.Platform version 2024.2 doesn't do this anymore. Can we reinstate the behaviour in any way? Or what are the alternatives? Now I have to have 2 applications with distinct session variable (ID) .. this used to be one where the global configuration steered the session variable (ID).

Adaptive field names in a formlist

Hi,Currently I am setting up a dynamic form using the formlist screen type.So far I have been able to recreate the formlist similar as shown in the documentation. Displaying two columns, one as a label (using the domain control type label) and the other column containing a value. However, I would like to display the formlist similar as how a regular form is displayed. Meaning with a field name that is inside the field, instead of a label that hovers above the field.Is there anyway in which this is possible? My eventual goal is to use this formlist together with a regular form (one being a detail reference) on the same screen. So it would be most ideal if the layout of these forms can match.

Getting to show group under previous one instead of next tabpage on Form

I have something weird.My form consists of several groups and currently they are shown eiter next to eachother or on seperate tabs depending on the width of the form.My form is height enough to show at least the first 2 groups in the first column but TW decided to show them on seperate tabpages: Both groups easily fit together on the first tabpageThe weird part is that according to Subjects in the SF there isn't a group called Transport for this view: I suspect that the implied break in the above screenshot causes my issues?For the record, there should be a new group there. But somehow it disappeared.When I reinstate the transport group the result in the app is still the same. When I do this: Long story short…. Help…Can someone explain to me what is happening here?Feels like some bits fell down in the database… :)

Ignore columns in the select query when they are hidden in the list

We are on SF version 2024.2 with a Windows GUI. I noticed that the select query is still including hidden columns in the list.We have for example a table with JSON data. I don't want the JSON data in the list, but I want to be able to filter this column and only show it in the form.   Same in the SF, when I open the reports in the SF, it still includes all ‘file_spec_data’, but it is not in the list. When I have a poor connection, I have to wait.  I thought this performance issue was already solved. Is this only solved for Universal in Indicium?
