  • Hi Eduardo/Alvaro,

    We were able to get results from the Find Archived Processes using the latest plugin version on Appian 18.2 but it seems once we upgraded to 18.3 the plugin stopped working. It used to run for a fairly long time (20-30 mins) so you could tell it was processing data in the background but after upgrading the smart service completes instantly and returns no results. Wondering if you guys could have a look to see if changes in 18.3 impacted the functionality? We found this plugin very helpful and it helped avoid us opening support tickets with appian cloud support.

    Thanks,

    Chris
