Hi Everyone, Thanks in advance, I have list which is having list of dates {1/1/2026; 2/2/2026; 12/31/2025; 11/24/2025}.I needs to identify the least date and Maximum date from the list. Regards Divya K

Hi everyone, I’m currently experiencing an issue where the round() function does not return the expected results. Below are some examples. In case 2, the expected result is 512.93, but Appian returns 512.92. Additionally, in case 3, even when applying the workaround recommended in KB-1426, the output is still not correct. KB1426 document : community.appian.com/.../kb-1426-unexpected-results-on-decimal-calculations-and-rounding If the round() function cannot reliably produce correct rounding results in cases like these, is there any known alternative approach — such as a custom Expression Rule or reusable utility — to achieve accurate decimal rounding in Appian? I’m looking for: A method that consistently returns mathematically correct rounding results A reusable rule that avoids floating-point precision issues Any best practices other users may have implemented for similar cases Any suggestions, patterns, or examples would be greatly appreciated. Thank

I have decision rule that's need to have output list of text and have more than 500 characters. I am using the output of desicion rule into multiple dropdown and store values into database that have limitation 1000 characters. How to increase this limitation?

Hello, I'm exploring AI Agent features in Appian 25.4 release and going through this tutorial https://docs.appian.com/suite/help/25.4/build-triage-agent-tutorial.html and trying to recreate this. For this, I tried calling the expression rule and save the result in output. While testing, it just shows processing for long time. Kindly help me with what I'm missing here. Is there is any specific prompt do we need to follow to map the inputs or the AI agent will automatically infer the data based on our prompt.

Hi Appian Community, i watched the 25.4 release showcase by product manager for a!chatField component and custom chat interface  from timestamp 54:37 and wondering how to achieve the same functionality which i can further modify as per my use case. i tried using custom chat interface present in appian documentation but it is limiting me to only use a card interface once and it will show same in every response.My goals:- Achieve same functionality of booking an appointment via chat field or custom chat interface. it should be intelligent to dynamically respond as per user, such that when first given symptoms it only shown a text response, but later responses after the appointment confirmation it showed user a custom card layout with a confirm button, and later another custom card layout with confirmation and another user input text field where user can enter further symptoms and upload any images(optional).  i have uploaded images in sequence from video, in which the respon

As we are having a Advance License of Appian but we are not getting option to how to Enable this in our environment is thing need to be done via raising a support case in myappian or it should be done via Admin Console. happy to hear any suggestion for same thanks 

Hi Appian Community,I am using AI Document Center in Appian to Extract an Excel file. The extraction runs successfully, but the Extracted Value column is empty.

Requirement: User wants to search across the PDF documents. Currently we store PDF documents generated via HTML in Appian. User wants to have a search box and search through all these PDF documents and return all the documents having matching text. Just wanted to know if there are any OOB features that supports this requirement.  Any suggestions would be appreciated. Thanks in advance.

Hi everyone, I'm having an issue with a grid in my interface. When using System Administrator account, the data loads correctly when the next page button is clicked.  But when using a Basic User account, the grid shows the same first-page data, and the paging control is not updating as well. I checked all related objects used in the code, all have Viewer access for the Basic User's group. Code snippet: a!gridField_23r3( data: local!grid.data, pageSize: 5, pagingSaveInto: fv!pagingInfo, validations: {} ) Thanks in advance for any insights!

Hi All, In database table, i have one field called 'versions' which will be captured from agent run. So when the agent runs, it will give some array of outputs for each version like below, 1st time run Output {workId - 1, decision - need referal, status - pass} {workId - 2, decision - no referral, status - pass} {workId - 3 , decision - need referral, status - pass} 2nd time run Output: {workId - 1, decision - no referal, status - pass} {workId - 2, decision - need referral, status - pass} {workId - 3 , decision - need referral, status - pass} {workId - 4 , decision - need referral, status - pass} So, now I have to compare workIds result between 1st run output and 2nd run output and have to show below 3 sections, Section 1: New Referral - which will have the workIds which needs referral in output 2 but not in output 1, so from above example it should be below rows from output2, {workId - 2, decision - need referral, status - pass} {workId - 4 , decision - n

Hello, again. This is a strange one.... and I'm on version 24.1.281.0 I have two expression rules... one generates some error messages (or none) and the other deals with the errors.  However, in the scenario where the first expression rule generates no errors, the second one still thinks there are errors. Expression 1: (called SH_ErrorGenerator) a!localVariables( local!stringArray: {"a", "b"}, local!error1: "", /* value from another expression rule normally */ local!error2: "", /* value from another expression rule normally */ local!error3: {""}, /* value from another expression rule normally */ local!errors: { local!error1, local!error2, local!error3 }, local!allErrors: cast( /* make sure this is list of string not list of variant */ typeof(local!stringArray), reject(a!isNullOrEmpty, a!flatten(local!errors)) ), local!anyErrors: and(not(isnull(local!allErrors)), length(local!allErrors) > 0), { errors: local!allErrors,

Hi everyone, I am encountering the following error while accessing a Record Type in one of my applications: “The configured database table is invalid. The XXXX_RF_EMP_DETAIL_STATUS table does not exist in the configured data source. Change the database table to continue.” Could anyone please guide me on how I can retrieve the missing database or what best practices I should follow in the future to ensure the database is properly saved and linked? Thank you in advance for your help!

Hi, I am new to using the interface component a!dataFabricChatField.  ( I've used record chat component, and that worked as expected. ) With Data Fabric chatbot, how should we implement security?  We only want the users using the chatbot to have access to recordType records that pertain to their company.  I tried using the instructions field in the chatbot component to specify which company the logged in user belongs to, but that did not work either. What is/are the best to accomplish that? Thanks.

In the development environment I have installed two plugins Google Maps Connected System and GoogleMaps (the latter gives me the map and direction fields components).

I have a requirement where similar nested if conditions are required in multiple interfaces. So I'm trying to build a decision rule so that if there is any update required it can be done in the rule and it can reflect in all interfaces. But the outputs are list of ids which are stored across different constants for each condition. For example, If condition 1 satisfies I want the output to be constant1 and if condition 2 satisfies I want the output to be consant2. Each constant has more than 50 ids and I want the output to be in the same order they are present in the constant. While configuring the decision rule I'm able to see all the ids from all the constants and I have to manually select them for each condition and that too in the same order I want the output to be in. Is there any easier way or is there any way to give the constant directly as output? For now I have created expression rule and used a!match to make it simple but curious to know the above mentioned scenario.

I am trying to use AI Skill for Document extraction , I have 10 different pdf document having key  : value pairs different for eg one document has Name : XXXXX another one has   Employee : XXXXX , another one document with no name , it just say Patient name : Can we use them to train the model , or we need to have same Key value pairs When extracting the data ?  we should classify those as different documents and then process separately to extract , please provide your input ....

Hi , I have a set of non printable characters in DB as number and we use char function and concat function to combine in a single string and used strip function to remove it from text. Now the requirement is to replace text with space. I tried substitute function and others which is not working as expected. Please someone guide me herea!localVariables( local!specialCharacterIds: rule!SUF_QueryRecordType_getSpecialCharacters(), local!specialCharacters: joinarray( a!forEach( local!specialCharacterIds, char(fv!item) ), "" ), a!paragraphField( label:"Comment", value:ri!comment, saveInto: { ri!comment, a!save( ri!comment, substitute(save!value,{local!specialCharacters}," ") ) } ) )

I am creating a webApi to trigger a!completeTask().  If this encounters an error, I return an httpResponse to indicate such. The question is:  how do I know what the error was?  Is there some way to return the task completion error in the webApi? Thank you. a!completeTask( taskId: ri!taskId, taskInputs: { someData: "abc", moreData: "def" }, onSuccess: a!httpResponse(200, {}, "Success") onError: a!httpResponse(500, {}, "What was the error??") )

I am new to Appian, and I would like to know more about AI copilot capabilities. Am I able to create record type using copilot or does that capability exist just in platform?

I just created a process which extracts data from pdf and then uses a reconcile doc extraction to extract tables' data and submit the operation. My question is: do I have to use tables for nested data or I could just try to use text to extract all the data without any need in using reconcile doc extraction task? Is there any way to integrate the reconcile doc extraction in my own customized interface?

I get the following error, which doesn't help me understand what could be wrong. The data (at least text fields) was extracted successfully using map, the doc id is passed correctly.

I have tried to use the AI skill to extract info from pdf. But I notice that the speed of the AI skill is too slow. A doc like this. It takes 5 minutes to execute such a simple document. Is there anyway I can increase the execution speed? Is this because my model is not trained enough? Should I trained my model more?  

Hi everyone, I’m working with procurement documents (PDFs) that contain hyperlinks (e.g. links to official tender platforms). When I use the Get PDF Text smart service (from PDF Tools), the visible text comes through, but the embedded hyperlinks (annotations/URI actions) are not returned. I also tested with AI Skills (Document Extraction), but it seems to behave the same way — as if Appian is only sending the extracted text to the AI model rather than the full PDF object. As a result, the links are lost there as well. Has anyone found a way in Appian to extract these hidden links directly from PDFs? Is there any existing plug-in or connected system that supports reading hyperlink annotations? Or would the only option be to build a custom plug-in with something like Apache PDFBox? Thanks in advance for your insights!
