When viewing a locked process or object, nearly every function is unavailable. Zoom cannot be manipulated, text search cannot be used. Opening action stages does not show given inputs and outputs in the lower pane. Find dependencies is not accessible. It also hinders mentoring- the developer has an issue and comes to you for help, you can't open the code and look at it coherently because some of the data you need is missing. This makes joint troubleshooting very difficult, if not impossible. Request that only modification type actions be prevented when in a view only version of the process/object. Perhaps just remove the "ok" button from opened windows and disable save functionality, but allow everything else (including save as) to be accessible.

Many corporations require a system that has SOX & MICS impacts to have strict password and security settings. One of those settings often requested but not available in Blue Prism is a "User Inactivity Timeout" option that logs the user off after X minutes of inactivity. This would apply to any user logged into the front-end of the Blue Prism application as a controller or admin, not the runtime resources. Any user that does not click on any buttons or new screens in the application would be logged off after X minutes.

I'd like an option to populate Interact dropdowns with information from the Active Directory (like employee name and ID). I have a use case where form users need to pick an employee from a list of all employees in a dropdown field, then my process would update a field in another application using the selected employee ID. Due to the large volume of employees and the fact there's already an Active Directory integration planned, I would like to see these dropdown values available without going one by one add each employee as dropdown option (It also looks like there's an idea planned to add more dynamic options for dropdowns, which is related. It would be great to be able to calculate how these values are shown as a dropdown option and received as an output when getting queue data from a response. ie. using BP calculations like [Active Directory.Employee Name]&" ( "&[Active Directory.Employee ID]&" ) " to show John Smith ( 12345 ) and output the same, but not as critical since the output can be calculated as shown here in the process. Currently, when getting queue data, it would pull the selected information out with hyphens ie. john-smith-12345)

Currently there is no chance to change the ownership for Business Processes in Hub/ALM/Interact. After Creating new Business Processes in BPH/Iv4.5 and importing Interact forms (from previous BPH/I version) as admin user I tried to change the owner of the Business Processes to something more suitable for business. Unexpectedly there is no chance to do that. I'm able to add members to the process, but the owner is not changeable. I already reported this issue to the BPL support.

When I have been working on a process or object in Studio, I usually return to it several days in a row. The same goes for processes I regularly access to check things. Every time I do so, I have to surf the UI to get to it and open it. Wouldn't it be nice it the File menu:
...would be expanded with a new option 'Recent files' so I could click my choice, the one on top, and would be in business with my most popular process without surfing the UI? When clicked, this new option would show me a list of the ten most recently used projects and processes.

Could we finally get a native & simple way of rolling back to a previous version of Blue Prism (after an upgrade), which would not require using database backup files manually etc.? For years it has been a tragicomic fact that whenever a new Blue Prism version is released, which is not a specific hotfix for a known issue, several existing features are broken in the application. Even with all sorts of pre-upgrade testing plans organizations can't always identify the bugs & issues with the new version (which should be done anyway by Blue Prism before releasing the version) before upgrading their real PROD & DEV environments. This leads to situations that organizations need to: a) wait that somebody else finds & reports crucial bugs, and then make the upgrade decision. b) risk their environment by potentially introducing new critical bugs/broken features. c) prepare for unnecessarily complicated rollback procedures (DB, local installations etc), which will take time + some data will be lost no matter what.

The last screen for confirming DB upgrade during BP upgrade should show the DB name that will be affected.
Currently it warns in red: those changes cannot be undone! and I have to enter the password again ... but I cannot verify if my previous specifications of the DB was correct anymore at this stage.
There could be another line close to the lines with the DB versions saying: Affected database: <db name>.
Or it could be added to the password prompt like: Please retype the password for database <db name>.

Additional options when creating a rule would be very helpful and reduce the volume of rules required for a form. My highest priority would be to have AND / OR settings (for example, field2 state is mandatory if field1 has a value of 'A', 'B' or 'C'). A While option would also be very useful as this would prevent the need to create 2+ rules in case a user changes something on the form (for example, field2 state is hidden while field1 = 'no'). Other suggestions include rules based on more than one field and any other basic functions. We currently have a very simple form which usually displays 7 fields on 1 page which uses 130 rules, the above changes would reduce that to under 10 rules.

Today, Every time a new Process or Object is imported into the Environment via AutomateC is automatically added to the Default Folder and does not maintain the Source Directory Structure. However, this is retained when importing via a .bprelease file. This is due to the <process-group> and <object-group> tags present in the bprelease file. Including this in the process/object xml will allow Users to import into an established folder structure.

Currently, the import switch in AutomateC does not put in an Edit Summary while importing into an Environment. The option to put in this customized text will allow users to manage command line imports much more effectively.

Provide the option to have the Break On Exceptions setting turned ON by default. I always turn this on when debugging. Always. It's such a useful feature and it irks me that I can't just have this on be default all the time. Instead, every time I start work in a process I have to remember to go turn it on. Then when I step into an object I have to remember to turn it on there as well. On the odd occasion I do forget to turn it on the "runaway" behaviour and consequences to your session can be hugely frustrating and waste a great deal of time having to reset. Simple request: allow for Break On Exceptions to be on by default and save the time and sanity of many a developer 🙂

We tend to lose a lot of work when locks are released accidentally from all the locked process and business objects. This needs to be further improvised in the upcoming feature where admin (or superuser) can only release locks if required from all the process and objects. Developers would have restricted access to unlock either the process and objects that they have created or only one at a time.

It would be a great support to developers or support teams if any of the session can be restarted by clicking on previously completed or terminated session. given the machine is available.

When viewing the processes running in the control room in the Management session, in the Environment panel when we want to see the Session variables of the running process to update the value of the variable, it would be very useful and fast if it allowed the option double-click on the variable and it will be enabled for value update.

Currently when items are loaded to work queue, the Created and Last Updated column in queue content is being populated by datetime.
When any of the items have been marked as exception and retried, datetime in Created column remains unchanged and when the same item gets completed, the Last Updated column is updated and the difference between these two columns does not match the Total Work Time column.
Would like to have new datetime in the Created column when item is retried so that when it gets completed, the Last Update column will be updated and there will be no difference in both columns when it comes to match the Total Work time column. OR Can have an one column which will be populating the retried items date item.

Add option to set breakpoint on all Exception & Recover stages. This option can really come in handy when the user wants to set a breakpoint on all Exceptions/Recover stages. So if it fails anywhere it will stop there.

We have the option to delete worked items from the Blue prism control room. When clicked it does not ask for confirmation and due to this many times, I tend to delete items while doing force retry. Can we add a pop-up window asking for confirmation to delete selected items from the work queue? Even we can add this checkbox in settings to have this confirmation window activate or not.

Hello, it would be cool during spying an element with the application modeller to have the screenshot of the spyed obejct in the final object. Like after spying is done and the object is done that when i open the action in the object that on the right side i see the screenshot of the spyed element. Benefit: error finding is much easier Current Situation: you have getting an error then you have to start the part of the process and then you have to start the application modeller and use the function higlight so see what got spyed. On the other site you also have to open the process documentation to see if the right element got spyed or maybe the applcaition changed.
