We apologize for any inconvenience this may cause, but a more secure, stable, and performant Community experience is coming soon!
The new Appian Community launches August 3, followed by Appian Academy on August 7.

Couple of issues/questions. The plugin loaded is 3.0.2 and FT_Config data type is loaded.
When I do try to pass in FT_Config, using the examples shown in this thread,
='type!{plugins.ps.appiancorp.com/.../}FT_Config'(serverHostName: "myhost",serverPort: 22,scsExternalSystemKey: "externalsystemkey",usePerUserCredentials: false(),privateKeyFile: "my_key")
i get this error:
2024-01-25 23:50:08,829 [ajp-nio-0.0.0.0-8009-exec-6575] ERROR com.appiancorp.process.engine.ExpressionGroup - An error occurred while evaluating expression: ='type!{plugins.ps.appiancorp.com/.../}FT_Config'(serverHostName: "xx..xx.xx",serverPort: 22, scsExternalSystemKey: "externalsystemkey",usePerUserCredentials: false(),privateKeyFile: "my_key")
(Expression evaluation error at function 'type!{plugins.ps.appiancorp.com/.../}FT_Config' (invalid): Invalid function 'type!{plugins.ps.appiancorp.com/.../}FT_Config' due to invalid type)
Question, Why do we need both FT_Config passed in as input and create the third-party-credential. Looking at the doc, it does not explain how to setup the node input with the FT_Config shown in most of the comments on this thread. (thank you..).
In the doc, Receive file states we can use the only external system key, but if I try that, it' says it can't cast a literal to an object, so implies we need the FT_Config just like for the other methods.
Receive File:
File Transfer Configurations
Any Type Yes No The external system key as specified in the secure credentials store.
i get cast error if only using the key, stuck thank you.
