Product Fixes and Known Issues

The Spring 2025 release of the ProcessMaker Platform includes a series of important fixes to enhance functionality and improve overall user experience. This update addresses a variety of issues, ensuring smoother performance, greater stability, and improved usability across several key features.

Version 4.14.0

Release Date: March 25, 2025

PDF and File Handling

  • FlowGenie now preserves original PDFs, ensuring full usability for preview and download. Previously, PDFs were split into images, limiting reuse and this improvement keeps your files intact and accessible.

PM Blocks

  • Processes can now be created from templates with locked PM blocks without triggering SQL integrity errors.

  • Rich text fields using “Render HTML from a Variable” now display only the intended content and extra curly braces are not added.

  • Line Input fields inside nested loop variables now accept and capture user input as expected.

Case Management and Launchpad

  • Task names in the "All Cases" and "My Cases" lists correctly reflect their associated processes across all pages, ensuring clarity and consistency.

  • Users with proper group assignments can now start cases from the Launchpad without any issue, making it easier for everyone to take action as intended.

API and Process Requests

  • ProcessMaker API now allows requests to be updated from “CANCELED” or “ERROR” to “ACTIVE” without triggering a “Name has already been taken” error—no name change required.

User Interface and Navigation

  • Zooming beyond 150% on multi-page screens now retains your current page view, ensuring a smoother and more consistent navigation experience.

Charts and Aggregation

  • The SUM function now calculates correct totals for large numbers, ensuring reliable results regardless of data size.

Script Execution

  • Scripts now follow the configured timeout and retry settings, preventing unnecessary retries and Script Timeout Exception errors—even for long-running tasks.

The following issues are being investigated and will be addressed in a future update.

  • The VarFinder does not retrieve variables from newly created or edited assets due to an issue affecting case creation. The issue is under investigation, and a fix is planned for the next build.

  • Select List of type Collection returns full objects instead of a single value.

  • A "New Input" column appears in the configuration of a RAG collection, but doesn’t display any data.
    Workaround: Avoid using the "New Input" column unless it’s explicitly required and mapped to a valid input field.

  • PLAID package fails to install due to missing console.php file and PSR dependency conflict.

  • Manual task screens allow editing of Record List data.

  • Loops set by Calc can still be modified in the screen.

  • Control selection is not highlighted in Slide Show with alternatives A and B.

  • Error "Cannot read properties of undefined (reading 'id')" is seen when adding elements via "Drop to add this flow".
    Workaround: Save the process after dropping the element to properly generate IDs.

  • Console errors appear when cancelling a case.

  • Task “Due In” property is unexpectedly modified after changes in task loops.
    Workaround: Re-check and reconfigure the Due In value after modifying task loop settings.

  • Server error occurs when creating a chart in Processes I Manage page.

  • Task “Due In” property retains old variable value even when "Use Request Variable" is unchecked.
    Workaround: Manually clear the variable field before switching back to a fixed value.

  • Parallel anonymous Web Entries always open the lowest-numbered task.
    Workaround: Not supported. Redesign the process to avoid anonymous web entries in parallel tasks.
