Just now I wanted to find some information if there was a known issue for a particular problem and for what release and if this issue was resolved in one of the later versions. Unfortunately the documentation for 6.x and 7.x are split and the searches have to be done at least twice for each major version, but this is OK. However, the search did not bring any useful results as the search brought up three pages of any type of document about any topic. Since I am not able to know what is the exact search term for a possible issue, I have to try several words and phrases and view all search result pages. I also just now tried to search for a specific issue (BP-5825) but could not find it in https://bpdocs.blueprism.com/ which makes sense as this issue is documented here: Support Center | Blue Prism Portal 1. it would be nice to narrow down the search to known issues & their fixes to be able to easily verify the status 2. it would be nice to have one place to look for known issues and enhancements

Currently, we can only use the action "Raise Submission" to create a unique form for an individual in Interact. We would like to have the capability to raise a submission for a unique form that can be filled out by multiple users. Our concern is for situations where we need to meet a specific SLA and the individual who the form is assigned to is on PTO and will not be able to fill out the form on time. This proposed feature would allow us to give multiple users the option to fill out the form or for the user to re-assign the form to another user.

Could Blue Prism create APIs or AutomateC command line functionality allowing registering & unregistering + retiring & unretiring of runtime resources (VDIs) directly in BP DB.
These would help us work more efficiently with runtime resources while operating with non-persistent cloud VDIs whilst using them as BluePrism robots.

I am using Credentials in different processes and sometimes even calculating the credential name and then getting the data. The "Find reference" button only works when the credential name is inputted directly into the "Get Credential" action with quotation marks but not when a data item containing the name is inputted in the action. I would like the "Find reference" to be able to handle when the credential name is stored in a data item and not direcly in the "get credential" action.

Currently, you need to change the names of Environment Variables and Global Data Items in different parts of the process when you change it. It will be good to have if these variables will automatic adapt when you decided to rename them.

With the growing amount of central components (BP V7) multiple Blue Prism environments are getting very complex and expensive. Apart from automating MS-Windows GUI there is no functional reason to stay entirely with MS-Windows products. Costs could be reduced by migrating some components to open source (database, operating system, application servers, ...) In addition with dynamic autoscaling of services ( e.g. microservices and kubernetes) needed resources can become demand driven. The upgrade process could be simplyfied with this approach, mayby even enabling zero downtime upgrades?)

The process on Importing a package, where you have to click twice on each item drop down arrow in the ‘Resolution’ column, is maddening! 90% of the time I only want to overwrite the Process and not touch the Objects. Alternatively (and more safely) it should default to 'Don't import'

It would be great if we could re order documents on the Data Verification Screen. Currently our process only reads the first page of a batch. Sometimes the document has been scanned on incorrectly. I am validating documents that won't process due to the order of documents.

I would like to be able to create a hidden field which concatenates values entered by the user. This would prevent bridging queues, processes or other means to create an appropriate key. We have a process where the key value is a concatenation of the member number and a contact method. This is to allow multiple requests for the same member but also identify duplicates. We cannot replicate this directly in an Interact form.

Currently you cannot use Interact Rules with Wildcards. This makes it very difficult to add sufficient validations and rules. I have a scenario where I want to check if a member number ends in 00. If so it will follow a particular rule.

Process and objects can be restricted from studio via access restrictions between different roles. But on the same note, Queues cannot be restricted between groups/users. Its directly exposed in Control room for all users who have access to the BP instance. The impact is that, when we have shared environment, there is ask to get the access restricted for Queue for complaint reasons as the item tag can have any unique values between roles. Just because we are unable to do it, it leads to create a separate BP Database which in turn leads to additional maintenance, cost and housekeeping etc., It would be great if the feature can be introduced to have the restriction in place for queues as well. Thanks in advance

Hi Team, While developing anything in Blue prism. we may have to write descriptions, action name page name. While writing those if we get spell check suggestion it would be great. If we change the spell or not that is up to us but spell suggestion will help and reduce lot of time.

Currently Blue Prism does not allow to remove all tags for item. you need to remove one by one tag from item. For example - Item has Tag1, Tag2, Tag3, Tag4 then you have to get all tags then put in loop and remove one by one. There should be option to remove all tags in one go.

Currently, Blue Prism API feature doesn't support client certificates.
We need to migrate our open Web Api Services (Ex MS Graph) to a perimeter gateway where TLS (Certificate) Authentication is required.
There is no way to load the certificate on the request object from the Setting tab's Web API Services.
This feature would enable more security options for using Blue Prism Skills.

It would be great if when looking at a queue for a process, if the schedule was listed on the same screen. The list of queues and schedules are growing and it would make things easier to find all the information pertaining to the process on one page. There should still be a schedules section for when processes are combined into one.

The Control Room calendar currently does not function for 'working days' outside of the first and last. Financial Services would benefit greatly from an enhancement to provide working days options to these calendars. You can set up a calendar to exclude all dates, aside from the working day you want (once you have worked out what date the working day is of each month). However, there is a huge amount of maintenance with this and therefore greater risk of error. You can also only select one date at a time (multi-select options would be good here). I currently have a process to calculate the working day appended to the start of each of my processes; so the workers spend needless amounts of time and effort logging in and checking the working day, only to log out again with no action being taken as many processes work on just a few different working days per month. So in summary - the idea is to have a working days option factored into the Control Room calendar and allow multi-select options for the selected dates.

It has come to light that pooled resources don't always appear in name order by default in Control Room - this would be a help if this could be included in later versions.

We need to spy a web based application, but it uses a shadow DOM. Therefor we can't use the Browser spy mode.
Using the UI spy mode might seem like an option, but this method is considerabely slower.
I've read on the forum the method of injecting Javascript, but this option doesn't work in our case.
We have investigated the issue further and found out that a small change to the Chrome Browser extension could fix the problem.
There are two following elements in the source code of the Chrome extension which need to be changed:
· getHtmlSource.js - with case Node.ELEMENT_NODE the outerHTML is called.
· The outer HTML consists of only the 'regular' dom-elements, but not the shadow dom-elements. Could this be adjusted so that the shadow dom elements are also being serialized?
·
· main.js - in several places the getElement functions of document are used like 'getElementByTagName' etc. These functions only scan the regular dom; could they be replaced by functions that also scan the shadow-dom?

Currently it is not possible to archive audit logs. Archiving in the sense of remove logs in a structured organized way with the possibility to restore this information at a later time if needed. This feature already exists for session logs (although could be improved) but there is nothing similar for audit logs. We already have an audit log of 13 GB, by far the largest table in our DB. There is a script available that should reduce the size of audit table by removing change history details (ie object XML), which is permanent loss of audit information.
