Bean Array Accessor Functions

Overview

Get a property value for a single object or a list of objects in a single function, which is very useful when generating display information for dropdown lists or grid columns on task forms.  

Key Features & Functionality

  • Functions mirror the default bean accessors but add support for accessing properties of multiple Appian objects at once (user()->users(), group()->groups(), etc)
  • Support both single value and multi value inputs and can be used in place of the standard accessor functions
  • The application .zip file provided with download contains an application with several expression rules that can be used to test the capabilities

  • Hi

    I am using Documents() function to get expirydate for list of documents. this function is returning expirydate for those documents which Appian native document() function is not returning expirydate.

    I have tired in Appian environments with 24.1 and 24.3 both have same results.
    Also I created brand new Knowledge Centre, Folder and Uploaded new documents to it, this scenario also giving me same result as explained above.

    My sample code:
    {
    JustExpiryDate: documents(getdocumentsfromfolder(1854013,true()),"expirationDate"),
    BeanDocumentsplugIn:a!forEach(
    items: merge(
    documents(getdocumentsfromfolder(1854013,true()),"id"),
    documents(getdocumentsfromfolder(1854013,true()),"dateCreated"),
    documents(getdocumentsfromfolder(1854013,true()),"expirationDate")
    ),
    expression: a!map(
    id:fv!item[1],
    dateCreated:fv!item[2],
    expireDate:fv!item[3]
    )
    ),
    NativeDocumentFunction:a!forEach(
    items: getdocumentsfromfolder(1854013,true()),
    expression: a!map(
    id:document(fv!item,"id"),
    dateCreated:document(fv!item,"dateCreated"),
    expireDate:document(fv!item,"expirationDate")
    )
    )
    }
