Known limitations

The following known limitations apply to objects from external sources:

  • Search operations and filters are not applicable for data in external fields.
  • Data write-back for insert and update operations does not support external sources.
  • File data from external sources is not supported.
  • Use of external fields of an entity in solutions are not supported.

The following limitations apply to folder-level entities and Solutions integration:

  • Cross-scope relationships between tenant and folder entities are not supported in this release.
  • Overriding a related entity during deployment requires that the replacement maintains compatible schema relationships to avoid mismatch errors.
  • Two entities with the same name cannot be added to the same workflow.
  • Folder-level entities are not supported in Unified Projects.
  • To refresh the schema of a folder-level entity selected in a Data Service activity, the entity must be reselected from the dropdown under Platform resources, not Defined Resources.
  • While creating a new Solutions project in Orchestrator:
    • Cross-folder reference entities cannot be packaged.
    • Folder-level choice sets are not available.
  • Not supported:
    • Studio Desktop.
    • Data Fabric accessed via connectors.
    • Maestro or API-based workflows.
    • Entities with fields that fetch data exclusively from external systems.
    • Entities with fields combining local UiPath-stored data and external system data.
      Important: Only entities with fully local fields, where all data is stored within UiPath, are included in Solution packaging. Entities referencing external system data are currently excluded.
