      Preventing Relationship Deletion Until Workflow Completion in Collibra
                       

      Hi everyone, I'm facing an issue with a workflow triggered after a relationship is deleted from a Data Product asset. The goal of the workflow is to prevent certain relationships from being removed. The workflow successfully captures the ID of the deleted relationship ( eventResourceId ). However, when I try to retrieve the type of the deleted relationship using that ID into findRelations , it no longer exists in the system — presumably because the deletion has already been finalized. My question is: Is there a way to delay the actual deletion of the relationship until the workflow completes successfully? Ideally, the relationship should only be removed if the workflow ends without errors or explicitly allows it. Any suggestions or best practices to handle this kind of validation or rollback mechanism would be greatly appreciated. Thanks in advance!

      Best practices to update parent “Last Modified On” when child assets are added

      Hi Community, In Collibra, when a child asset is added under a parent, the parent’s “Last Modified On” does not update automatically. We have a requirement to run daily queries on parent assets based on this timestamp. Because the parent timestamp isn’t updated on child creation, we’re considering a custom, domain-scoped workflow that detects new child assets and updates the parent’s timestamp accordingly. Questions: Have you implemented a similar approach (workflow or API-based automation) to keep parent timestamps in sync with child additions? What triggers/conditions did you use (e.g., specific child types, relationship changes), and how did you avoid unnecessary updates? Any pitfalls, performance considerations, examples, or lessons learned you can share? Thanks in advance for your insights.

      HTML tags for link in validation rule error message possible?

      Hi! Has anyone ever tried to put a hyperlink in a error message of a validation rule and has it worked? We have tried with the standard html tag <a href="LINK"> TEXT </a> and unfortunately it did not work.

      Update to validation question

      Or has anyone written a validation that uses the values stored in an attribute to determine allowable values? I need to values names and descriptions to ensure they contain the name of a color, which will be stored in the attribute. Rather than store the allowable values in the validation itself, I want to store the values in an attribute, so my developers dont have to constantly change the validation to accommodate user requests. Thanks for helping with this question or the previous version where the values were stored in a code list

      Validations based on Code Set
                       

      Has anyone written a validation that uses a code set to determine allowable values? Rather than store the allowable values in the validation itself, I want to provide users with the ability to maintain the list of values via a code set, so my developers dont have to constantly change the validation to accommodate user requests. THANKS

      Cloning an Asset Type —&nbsp;Bug? / Alternative Methods?

      Hey all, I am looking to clone a complex asset type with multiple scopes, and decided that the best way to do this would be to use a quick workflow to create a new asset type, and then go through all the source assignments and create them in the target asset type. I thought this might be the easiest way, but... When trying to adding an attribute assignment with using assignmentApi.addAssignment() and the CharacteristicTypeAssignmentReference looks like: CharacteristicTypeAssignmentReference.builder() .id(theAssignedCharacteristicType.getAssignedResourceReference().getId()) .min(theAssignedCharacteristicType.getMinimumOccurrences()) .max(theAssignedCharacteristicType.getMaximumOccurrences()) .resourceDiscriminator(theAssignedCharacteristicType.getAssignedResourcePublicId()) .type(theAssignedCharacteristicType.getAssignedResourceReference()?.getResourceType()) .build() I consistently get 2025-07-28 09:36:56.717 [http-nio-0.0.0.0-4400-exec-28] <strong>WARN</strong> c.c.d.w.s.g.b.SecureGroovyTaskActivityBehavior - Exception while executing cloneAssetType_ScriptTask : groovy script evaluation failed: 'javax.script.ScriptException: com.collibra.common.api.exception.ApiException: java.lang.NullPointerException: Cannot invoke "com.collibra.dgc.core.meta.assignment.dto.AssignedCharacteristicTypeParameters.getType()" because "p" is null' Trace: scopeType=bpmn, scopeDefinitionKey=cloneAssetType, scopeDefinitionId=cloneAssetType:29:0198513f-bf61-7809-b725-160e7a675d78, subScopeDefinitionKey=cloneAssetType_ScriptTask, tenantId=<empty>, type=scriptTask I'm suspecting a bug, but I have been wrong before. 🙄 😚Has anyone leveraged CharacteristicTypeAssignmentReference successfully in assigning asset type characteristics? Is there an easier way to duplicate an asset type with multiple scopes?

      Workflow groovy scripts libraries

      In the Collibra documentation it is mentioned the possibility to add Groovy libraries in the script. It is said it is possible to do so by adding //#importFile <filename> at the start of the script. What type of file it should be (for example a jar)? And where should we put this file to be included in the script?
