Hi there, I was wondering if it is possible to upload multiple files within a task without having to use separate parameters such as attachment_1, attachment_2, and so on. We are currently using the multiple file upload functionality described here.I understand that we could potentially use it as a modal (pop-up). However, I am primarily interested in whether uploading multiple documents can be achieved using a single parameter.As shown below, I would like to upload three files while having only one (visible) parameter available. Thanks for the help!

Since last week we started using SF Universal in the universal app or directly in the browser.Everything when i start or refresh the session (in the universal app or directly in the browser.), it automatically opens two more sessions of the universal app.Can you help me remove this extra sessions?

We have built an MS Graph integration within our application that allows email messages and attachments to be stored in Azure Blob Storage.When users open the link to these files, a new application window is launched, which is not desirable.Ideally, this should not happen, and it should also be possible for files to open directly in their associated application—for example, Outlook for .eml files and Adobe Acrobat for .pdf files.What options are available to achieve this functionality?See here what happens:  

After upgrading from 2023.2 to 2025.3, we are aiming to swiftly upgrade to 2026.1, to transition to Universal GUI completely.Error during creationHowever, after upgrading to the newer platform version, our existing models tend to have the following problem.As a start, see the image above. During creation (Generate definition), the following error is given.The code for this is placed in a Control procedure called `increases_update_counter`. The code is as follows:-------------------------------------------------------------- -- This control procedure increases column update_counter, or -- gives an error when the counter was increased by another process or user.---- If you add the tag 'no_update_counter' to a table, this functionality will not be added to that table.---- This code does the following steps:-- 1. Configure id's-- 2. Prog object item for each table with trace fields-- 3. Translate parameters. In the CTE the order of the primary key fields is determined.---------------------

With AI the field of creating user documentation seems to have progressed rapidly the last few years. So I am wondering what tools do you use to create user documentation of your Thinkwise application and do you recommend it?We are specifically looking for something that is easy to maintain with a rapid changing application. 

How can I use DevExpress subreports in the Software Factory?I have added a report with 3 subreports:  In Devexpress:  However, in the Application I get the following message:  It works once I put the file in the specific location, however a user cannot do that. I also cannot hardcode the location in DevExpress since it differs for different branches. What is the correct approach?

We often use the structure main (strong) entity - (weak) details, for example, orders - order lines.In many cases users want to be able to see an overview of lines from all orders, instead of lines per orders. It is a lot of work if they have to export the lines per order. So then I add the order lines as menu item, but I think it adds clutter. If users have full rights to both the main table and detail table, can they access the detail table without being filtered on the strong entity?What would be your recommendation to make them access the weak entity?

Hello all,As the title suggests, in a master-detail screen the detail tab on the form does not show:The screen type is made as follows:It clearly contains a tab bar, but it simply refuses to pop up when I reload the screen. Why would this be, is there something I miss? I want the detail tab to show. I do have a context on this screen that tells what detail tab I should see based on a value. But that did not interfere with the tab bar showing up or not. Now I see nothing, but I did see a tab bar with a form tab and a detail tab (based on a value). What am I doing wrong?Kind regards,Sander Adam

Hi!I have a question regarding POST calls. I’m working with a (DB2) Thinkwise application that uses tables and views (with instead‑of triggers). We’re trying to perform API calls on these tables, specifically GET and POST calls. The GET requests are successful and return data from both tables and views.The issue is with the POST requests: I consistently receive a 403 Forbidden response.Here’s what I have checked so far:The POST URL works when used in a GET request. The same credentials are used for both GET and POST. With these credentials, I can view, edit, delete, and insert data through the application and ACS. The application is running on IAM. I inserted data through ACS using the same values as in my JSON POST; the ACS insert succeeded, but the POST request returned 403 Forbidden. I verified that all mandatory fields are included in the POST body.What I’ve noticed is this:POST calls to tables with editable mandatory fields are successful, but POST calls to tables where mandatory

I’ve made a process flow and enabled deeplinking for the flow and the two parameters (available and or mandatory). I can start the flow sucessfully from the universal GUI and see the flow in debug. The weird thing is though it only executes 1 process action. So currently i have: start - activate detail - go to row - stop, but it only executes start and activate detail it skips goto row and stop. If i remove activate detail and execute the flow from within the right detail, the goto row fails. If i turn the flow into a normal start table task flow, everything works fine (and disable deeplinking). url to start the flow:https://cherry-acc.staay.nl/Universal_dev/#application=cw/processflow=bestel_lijst_hierarchie_ga_naar_groep?artikel_hoofd_groep_id=6&artikel_groep_id=4 GUI versie2026.1.11.2.0 

I am facing this issue with a task default: The task has the parameterswarehouse_id - look up table: item_warehouse; look up columns: item_id, warehouse_idto_warehouse_location_id - look up table: warehouse_location; look up columns: warehouse_id, warehouse_location_iditem_id - look up table: item, look up column: item_id warehouse_id and to_warehouse_location_id are filled in automatically by the table task parameters (on the warehouse_location table),but when item_id is filled in by the user, warehouse_id and to_warehouse_location_id are emptied,even though the item_id chosen exists as item_id + warehouse_id combination in the item_warehouse table. I chose to show item_warehouse as look up table on warehouse_id instead of the warehouse table because the table has more useful information. Is there a way to prevent the emptying of the warehouse_id parameter?I have not yet added a default script.

Hello all,It has occurred to me that, despite that some issues are fixed with the Maps component, it still always opens on Null Island (https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Null_Island). This is an issue, as we display routes on the maps component. Now every time I open the window, I have to pan to the route. Seeming some routes I use for testing are about 700-800km, it's an easy find, but some of our users might only have routes of around 10-15km, which makes such routes much harder to find.Does anybody else experience this with the Maps component? Why would it always open on Null Island? I do notice that only happens when you open it the first time, after opening it a second time, it does it correctly, and zooms appropriately on routes whether they are small or large. 

the column header for the excel export is the translation while there is a alternative translation added.is it possible to select the alternative translation instead

I encountered unexpected behaviour when trying to show a message from a task.In this example I configured a task 'dummy_task’ which only functionality is to show a message 'dummy_error’.The message is configured to be a popup. When this is executed, the result is as expected: However when a task parameter is added, the configured message is not anymore of the type popup, but is suddenly shown as a panel message.This is a problem, because when I add audio to the message, this is not played with the panel message.Could someone look into this? For now I have a workaround by creating a process flow, but that is not optimal.

When starting Generate definition my job waits for "source for data migration and update". How do i let this job generate in stead of waiting. 

Hallo, I created a domain varchar for time hours only, since using Time shows minutes and seconds as well. Then I added elements from 00:00 - 23:00, but the dropdown has empty item.Is there a way to remove the first empty item?   I'm not sure if this is the best way, but if there's a way to use Time data type but only show hours is maybe better. Thank youJheng

When i select a row and than edit the only editable column, to tick 0 to 1, for a group, the rest should go to 1 as well, and the colour should change. When ticking the group from 1 to 0, same but vice versa. Auto_edit is on, and we have auto_commit in the default if the tick is changed. So far all seems to work fine. When selecting a row and changing the tick. But if you go into the row straight by changing the checkbox tick, than something weird happens. Even though auto_commit is used, the gui holds the row in edit mode. Unless you untick and tick the checkbox again. See GIF. Gui version = 2026.1.11.2.0 or 2025.3.14. I’ve tried several different options, like several auto commits/ auto save etc. But the behaviour stays the same.  

Sometimes we like to make use of this option, in the screen design tab in Universal SF?For example a master with a single detail that contains a form of preview  

I’m developing a MES. When a user starts a production order, an “open document” in modal mode shows some notes and information. When the document is closed, the process flow should continue and execute a task.If I add a process step (task) after “Open Document” , the task runs immediately and it’s not possible to read/scroll the open document.Is there a way to solve it? Any workaround?

Hello!We encountered a strange behavior (not sure what started it) on the smoke test part.We don't have any job started in Jobs.Basically we are spammed with logs that it is failing because 'Application id/alias' was not provided.There are around 30 entries/second, do you have any idea what is happening and why?Update: after a restart of web app it stopped, but anyway we need to find what was the issue.Investigated a bit more and looks like we had it also before but we didn't saw it, so is not the first time.Looks like the last time (10 feb & 11 feb) it was stopped somehow itself because it created max 500k records (without a restart from our side), not like this time.Normally it was going up to 11k records max. 

How can I change the workspace folder in TSF and in the Workspace Listener?And what is the right approach when working with different TSF instances? 

Hi,I am wondering if there is a possibility to hide the actual download url for a file when using Azure Files (as example) when returning the information from a (table) function.When I use a regular table or view as an API endpoint, the result is a Thinkwise specific endpoint (which is how I would like to have it):Unfortunately the endpoint should be filtered and I cannot force filtering using a table or view endpoint. I have implemented a function with a filter parameter, which returns the same table as the before shown view result. It however returns the data not exactly the same (and shows the physical url where the document can be found which makes it possible for someone who obtains this url can try to have a look around for other documents):The question is if it is possible to use a function and return the same kind of url(s) as in the first example. 

Hi community  I have a problem where my IAM database is getting big and I require some guidance on shrinking its size. Ive found the quilty tables and have reduced the logging to a smaller time frame so it should clean itself better in the future. How would i go about removing these existing records?Through IAM or is there no other way then usting some SQL queries. Ive also found out that just removing rows might not be sufficient and to actually reclaim space on the disk a shrink command would have to be used. Is there any risk associated with doing that?Kind regardsAnne Vries 

Now that grouped prefilters/tasks/etc. can use sub menu’s, I noticed the width of the submenu is quite small. It only shows 8 characters for a custom prefilter. Could the width of the submenu be made dynamically based on the content and up to a max width that is at least twice the current size?This can probably be fixed with custom css, but I think this shouldn’t be needed.
