  • Hi,

    The People Functions (psshared.peoplefunctions) plug-in has been flagged in the health check report as high risk. The following private and deprecated Appian APIs are being referenced:

    • [private] com.appiancorp.core.expr.portable.string.Strings.isNullOrEmpty(java.lang.String)

    • [deprecated] com.appiancorp.suiteapi.common.ServiceLocator.getUserProfileService(com.appiancorp.services.ServiceContext)

    Could you please review this and let us know if there are any plans to address these dependencies in future updates?

    Thank you in advance!
