Hi Team, I have a rich text editor in my interface and its value is saved as "text" in DB with all the tags (that includes bullets, colors, background color, highlight etc ). I want to extract only the text part of the data. How can I do this? Like if the value is saved as "<div>Assigned to <em style="color: rgb(0, 71, 178);">XYZ</em></div>" , I only want "Assigned to XYZ". striphtml() function throws error. Appian version 21.1

Hi, i have a picker field when i select some particular users names it has to show validation message else no  i have written like this but it is showing for all users whoever i select in picker field 

Could someone explain why the following code work without compiler errors? if( isnull(ri!user), "", isusernametaken(ri!user), user(ri!user, "firstName") & " " & user(ri!user, "lastName"), joinarray(split(ri!user, "."), " ") ) I expect some kind of evaluation error, but it works just as the three lines starting on "isusernametaken" were an embedded if. I saw that in one of the Appian courses and I'm wondering if it is some undocumented feature of the if function. Thank you

Hi, For the above expression rule, if I try to add a!isNullorEmpty(local!ID), then I can getting false, but I am expecting true. Am I doing anything wrong here.

I have created this rule to get the group names from my task report in a grid . but when there are multiple groups are present at assignee column, it gives error saying invalid group exception. Here is the code: if( or( runtimetypeof( ri!groupOrUser ) = tointeger( 'type!{http://www.appian.com/ae/types/2009}Group' ), like( ri!groupOrUser, "?Group:*" ) ), touser(group( togroup( touniformstring( ri!groupOrUser ) ), "groupName" )), rule!APN_displayUser( touser( ri!groupOrUser ) ) ) Rule input-user or group Any suggestions?

We are having a start date Eg. "2022-04-22 18:10:03"(Datatype: Date & Time) . I need to add 5 hours to the date and should provide me result as "2022-04-25 14:10:03". Requirement: Should not include time between 19:01(7:01 pm) to 9:59(am) and week end (Saturday & Sunday). Explanation: 4th April is Friday and the time given was 18:10(6:10pm). Total time taken is 50 min to complete 7pm on 4th April. As 23rd and 24th comes under week ends (Saturday & Sunday) we need to remove those date and time. Then we need to add date from 25th10:00am resulting in adding 4 hours 50 min on 25th.

Has anyone implemented a custom picker that queries all the expression rules in an environment ?

I need to get the source first and then define filters accordingly. Please suggest on how i c

Appian Lovers,  Per Appian Documentation Developers can design the Decision Table and delegate the same to Business Users to add Business Rules. This can be achieved by providing the Editor access to Decision object which will then give them to update the Decision via "Analyst View". Please refer to link below  https://docs.appian.com/suite/help/22.1/Appian_Decisions.html#analyst-view I am not sure, where or how to access the Analyst View. This question is in reference to a request from the Line of Business to figure out if they can manage the Decision Table themselves. Thank you,  Janaki Ram Kavuri 

We have just upgraded our IDP application to current and have found that the modeller needs to be re-trained.  Specifically with the "Invoice with Line Items" document set originally used to train the IDP Classification/Extraction engine.There used to be a zip file (we think we remember one anyway) that contain set of varying documents that fit into this category.  Does anyone have a copy of that (or similar) that they'd be willing to share.

Hi All, I am sending document to IDP but every time it is "Straight Through Processes" instead of reconciling. Can any one please help me out.

According to docs: a!update() Function - Appian 21.4, this function should work with a list, map, dictionary, cdt or record.  I'm having difficulty with one particular case of a!update with a list of dictionary (version 21.4). I have the following snippet of code and am receiving the following error: This error message is unable to be duplicated with a simple index, meaning the error message is somewhat misleading to myself: Are there any known workarounds - or does this seem like a product issue?  I would rather not have to check if my data type is a list of dictionary prior to calling the a!update function.
