Custom email template is not triggering and giving an error
I have 3 custom templates all belonging to the same workflow / process Id. I added the first 2 and tested the workflow and it worked fine with the custom emails triggering as expected. I then added the 3rd template which is designed on similar type as the first 2 templates and add the code to call the 3rd template like this mail.sendMails(userIds, "days_inactive", null, execution) this is calling the 3rd template however when I run the workflow I see below error Error EmailTemplateRenderer - ResourceManager : unable to find resource 'email-templates/workflow-notifications/userLogin/container|en-us' in any resource loader. The other 2 templates are working fine and they are also called the same way as this one. But not sure why for the 3rd template it is looking inside container folder as per the error message. Any idea on how to resolve this is much appreciated.

Retrieve and Log Request and Response Details from a HTTP Task
Dear Collibra Community, I am currently trying to test the HTTP Task within a Collibra workflow. Overall, the HTTP task documentation is well described, but I am not receiving a successful response. The Edge Connection in the Edge Site should be correctly setup since the Test Connections gives Succeeded as feedback. Hence, I wanted to furtherly review the request and response by analysing the details through a following Script Task. The Script Task contains the following Script: loggerApi.info("***********************************") loggerApi.info("***HTTP Response: ${response_json}***") loggerApi.info("***HTTP Request: ${RequestUrl}***") The response_json variable is defined in the Response variable name attribute of the HTTP Task and I assumed that the RequestUrl variable can be used as it is stated in the HTTP task documentation (named in Save request variables). However, the response is logged with the value null , the RequestUrl does not seem to exist and results into an error. You can find the log here: INFO c.c.d.c.api.component.LoggerApiImpl - *********************************** [authenticated_id=00000000-0000-0000-0000-000000900003, trace_id=724a6e103e9d571f5c1f9c4cd6c1403e, trace_flags=01, span_id=6fead334445ce819] INFO c.c.d.c.api.component.LoggerApiImpl - ***HTTP Response: null *** [authenticated_id=00000000-0000-0000-0000-000000900003, trace_id=724a6e103e9d571f5c1f9c4cd6c1403e, trace_flags=01, span_id=769359a9ced1046f] WARN c.c.d.w.s.g.b.SecureGroovyTaskActivityBehavior - Exception while executing scriptTask1 : groovy script evaluation failed: 'javax.script.ScriptException: groovy.lang.MissingPropertyException: No such property: RequestUrl for class: Script21' Trace: scopeType=bpmn, scopeDefinitionKey=hTTPTask, scopeDefinitionId=hTTPTask:17:0196430b-a0df-7198-ae9a-ef8b4f9b4cd2, subScopeDefinitionKey=scriptTask1, tenantId=<empty>, type=scriptTask [authenticated_id=00000000-0000-0000-0000-000000900003, trace_id=724a6e103e9d571f5c1f9c4cd6c1403e, trace_flags=01, span_id=ec8775d825dd69b5] It would be very helpful to log the request and response details, but I do not understand why the response is null respectively how to log the request. Does anybody have experience with this or any idea how to resolve this problem? Best regards, Felix

Data Request Workflow / Data Basket Checkout
Hey There, I am confused with the process to Check Out Data Basket. I have added data assets to a Data Set. I then click on Add to Basket. Then from my Data Basket I click on Check Out Data Basket. At this point I am presented with a pop up window that requires me to enter a Purpose by selecting a value from the dropdown menu. The problem is that there is no values to select. The list is empty and I cannot proceed with the Data Access Request (image 1). I also am not allowed to type any text in on my own. I then notice that I have a new task in my Task List. Upon clicking into this I see the Purpose field in the middle two-thirds of the screen does list my purpose I entered during checkout. However there is still an open task the on the page that again shows me a empty Purpose list that I must pick from. I cannot find anything that speaks to this in the Collibra Documentation nor on the Collibra University site. Can someone please help me with understanding what I am missing?

HTTP Task Experience
Hello Data Citizens, does anyone of you have experience with the HTTP Task in Workflow Designer? We are currently experimenting with it but are not able to make it work. It always times out after the hard coded 10 seconds. If anyone had similar problems and were able to solve them I would be glad if you could share your experience here. Cheers, Stefan

Auto-mapping source tags into asset attributes?
Hi, novice here. I'm looking into auto-mapping our Snowflake source tags to Collibra attributes. Our source tags and 'description from source system' ingestion works fine, but I need to copy or map specific tags into specific asset custom attributes (Classification, PI Flag, etc). I assume this would be some sort of workflow? I just need a point in the right direction. Thanks.
