  • I see a message that this plugin (or some component it is using) has been deprecated when checking a process model in monitoring. I see no alternatives to the Plugin in the market.

    Many thanks Druva for this wonderful plugin which we have been using for 3.5 years! Can we expect this to be updated to be compatible with latest Appian version and not use deprecated components? Would be great help!

    Thanks,
