Hi, I am wondering why after so long why is BluePrism doing the auto conversion of Date & Datetime to UTC. It is definitly the most annoying thing in BluePrism. It is literally frustrating to work with anything Date related in the software. Why not give the ability to deactivate this conversion that it always does? Even when your datetime is already in UTC time, it will convert it anyway, making your date so out of whack that it doesn't make sense anymore... and don't get me started on collection with date where you need to loop in the collection. You can get them converted a lot and making your process a lot harder to develop because you need to account for those instead of just doing that yourself if you need to. BluePrism should never touch any variable automatically without the dev actually doing something. using  DateTimeKind works for the first time when you output but BluePrism clears that after that point so it doesn't really matter what kind it is. Please let user do their things. I know I am not the only one having trouble with that. I saw in another company devs that were using SQL query to get the "Now()" date instead of Blueprism cause it was more reliable. That's not normal to have to do workaround like that for anything. I've been working with BluePrism since version 4 and this is by far the worse thing that has been following us since then. regards, ... View more

It will be great to add a feature for Browsers to read the "Item Value"(DOM Value) of the selected item in an HTML combo box?   Please find the example below: I want to read the Item value(DOM Value) which is "/m/02gsvk". This will help in many scenarios where value remains same and the selected text changes according to the local language setting of the site. ... View more

The current data item does not have a dictionary type (Associative array) . A single-row collection type can be substituted in some cases, but a smooth conversion to a JSON object can be difficult. For example, if you try to convert a Blue Prism data item to JSON using Utility - JSON::Collection to JSON , only one data item can be represented as a collection data item, so the converted JSON will also be an array type. There are many opportunities to map Blue Prism data items to JSON data when performing WebService integration, so I think there is a great advantage to introducing a dictionary type data structure. ​ ...

Hi Team , As documentation is a important part of every process journey . Documents like Technical Design , Solution design or Object design mostly contains information which we we are filling in our Blue prism database or is already a part of our .bprelease file(which is indirectly a xaml file).  We can make this automated VBO which which can create a skeleton for us containing information like - Release Details All Process All Objects Credentials Work Queue Environment Variable System Exception Business Exception Description of Processes and Object Published Process and many others like this , which can be again looked and corrected by developers if needed . This skeleton(draft) of files using this VBO will save a hell lot of time for any developer. ... View more

The BP DB contains a lot of information that could useful for admin/BAU/audit/upgrade yet much of it cannot be extracted into a report. It would be nice to have a suite of reports made available. For example: Asset inventory All objects, pages, input/outputs, descriptions Top-down dependencies, ie what objects, queues etc each process uses Bottom-up dependencies, eg what is using each object, queues etc Credentials - expiry date, last used date, access rights etc Queue volumes Asset 'last used date' (eg what is obsolete) Activity reports Session history including termination reasons Change log per process/object/whatever Activity log per resource (which machines are used most and least) User reports Users, roles, permissions etc Activity per user Current user activity (who's logged in now, who's got control room open etc) System reports All BP client system settings (for comparing environments) Perhaps users could call stored procedures via Data Gateways instead of having to query tables directly. ...

My team and I have mentioned several times amongst ourselves that it would be great if BluePrism enabled the creation of folders for Schedules and Packages.  Now that our team has been building processes for several years our list of Schedules and Packages has gotten quite large and the ability to folder these processes would be a huge help in cleaning up a large list. ...

Hi  at the moment anything you do in BluePrism you are connected direkt via AppServer to the Database. So you always have a kind of live connection for everything you do.  That makes BluePrism kind of slow in Studio.  It would be great in Studio to have the option with database and without database.  If the developer is done it just needs a button like publish to database and everything is okay.  During development he should have the option as well to save under C:\Temp for example. Later with the publish function process is saved in database. Be aware iam just talking about Development Enviorment.  ... View more

Hi there, with the AND and OR operators currently available the following expression throws an error when a flag data item is not set. IsFlag([Flag Item]) AND [Flag Item] Returns Error: ... right-hand-value is empty. If Blue Prism would support conditional logical operators like && and || in C# repectively AndAlso and OrElse in VB.NET  the expression in this example would be valid. The evalauation of the expression would stop if IsFlag() returns False becuase the whole expression couldn't be True anyway. We could use a single decision stage only and could use this kind of expressions in choices. Currently there are two options: - always set a default value for flags - break the expression mentioned above up in two decisions and execute the second decision only if IsFlag() = True With choices this cannot be handled easily. ...

Currently when an element within application modeller is cut and pasted in any node of the Element tree, a new Element ID is generated, invalidating the previous Element ID and all references pointing towards it. When that happens, the following error is displayed by the validation tool: Page: ABC Stage: XYZ Type: Error Action: Validate Description: Failed to find referenced application element in row 1. Element ID is 87188755-42bf-4433-bcaf-33a4f152aeff Repairable: No The only way to fix this is to manually re-point the element within all the affected stage properties. Additionally, this also invalidates the application modeller in all of the historical versions of the affected Object(s) in version history. Given that this can potentially mean several hours of re-work, not to mention serious frustration, please change this to work as follows: - When copying and pasting an element within Application Modeller and the pasted Element ID already exists, generate a new one - When cutting and pasting an element within Application Modeller, retain the pasted one This has been tested on the following versions: 6.4.2 6.4.4 6.8.0 ...

It would be helpful to be able to create and apply templates for user security role definitions in System tab. Additionally to be able to export and import those templates to move from one environment to another.

I think 2 very important enhancements are required - a) When we rename or change a data item, we have to manually change the old references for those data item in all the stages where it's used.Instead of doing this manually BP should automatically replace the previous references in all the stages. b) Right now we have to manually select all the required process/ Objects/Env var etc while creating a package. There should be a way that either Blueprism drags everything related to a project item or we should be able to visually see the dependencies while creating packages. Regards, ... View more
