Hi! Is it possible to use Databricks as a data source with Appian? I know it's not directly supported but maybe there's like a workaround possible? Any help would be great!

Hi, I'm new to the Appian. I'm unable to see the 'New Data table' option as mentioned in this documentation: Create-record-data-source.html  So, I Selected Database option and I'm unable to proceed after that. No options provided here to select. Help me resolve this and provide me the steps to create an database and make connection to the interface. Share any documentation URL or online course for this.

Hi, I am new to Appian-Locust, I have installed Appian Locust, executed a login script for Appian URL and I am getting this exception "Login unsuccessful, no multipart cookie found, only found <RequestsCookieJar[<Cookie JSESSIONID....". I checked my credentials and they are working fine when login manually. I have tried executing the same Appian URL via generic Locust and there is no such exception shown. Can anyone help here.

I have a process model that stops running without any apparent reason. When I click on the node where it stops, a pop‑up appears saying: "No errors were encountered at this node." Has anyone seen this behavior before? What could cause a process to halt without logging an error, and what steps should I take to troubleshoot it?

Hello everyone!I started the Learning Path recently and I'm having trouble in Step #3 (version: 25.4 Build an Application: Step-by-Step #3). When I try to create a New Group (W#SA Supervisors, W#SA Registrars and W#SA Mechanics), it always says "Name already exists", for all 3 of them. However in the objects I only have the groups W#SA Users and W#SA Administrators1.Did anyone have the same issue? How can I fix it?Thanks :)

In UI I have option to add data using addRowLink. Once I select one name consider h1, then I click on addRow then there I can write any alphanumeric code and I am storing that in backend. but if I am selecting multiple names(2) then if I click on addRowLink 2 new row boxes are being displayed. In UI even if I select multiple names only one row should be displayed and in backend the code should be updated for all selected names. no submit button is available in that interface saveInto: { a!localVariables( /* Build one new row per selected partyId (no duplicate prevention) */ local!newRows: if( a!isNullOrEmpty(local!selectedInsuredId), {}, a!forEach( items: local!selectedInsuredId, expression: a!localVariables( /* Find the index of this party to resolve its applicationId */ local!idx: index(fv!item, wherecontains(fv!item, local!insuredParty['recordType!{f953bbb6-0363-40ce-afe7-4fd0315e1fc0}UWG Party.fields.{19291ea5-16a7-4ddb-9fc9-dbd77b0f9b3e}id']), null() ), /* Construct a new UWG MIB

I have a multiselect dropdown with names h1, h2 and there respective ids are 123,456. the interface is to update the codes in site.But when I am selecting both values from dropdown and adding the code, code is not getting added for both the values. It is only getting added for the first value(h1) which I selected initially in the dropdown(h1)

We have an a!documentViewerField component to display a PDF document, but the problem is that it shows editing options to download and print it, and we have been asked to disable these options.  Is there another component that allows PDF documents to be viewed in read-only mode, i.e., only displaying the document without allowing it to be downloaded or printed? Or is there a way to configure this from Appian?

Hi, I am using Community Edition and  following the Appian Developer path.

Hello,  I have a text field who's value is linked to a dropdown field. If the dropdown value changes, the text field automatically changes as well. The text field is disabled as the user should not be able to change the value. The problem I have is that the value of this text field should be saved into a rule input but since I do not interact with the text field, the save into parameter does not trigger. I have no buttons on the interface so I could not add an a!save there. The user does not have to interact with any other field if they don't want so I couldn't put the a!save in another field as well.  Is there a way for the text field to refresh without interacting with it to trigger the save into?

If a user has indirect access to a record type as viewer. Will he able to export and download the record report? Thank you!

In my application, there are three columns for each user in the default Group; Name, Details, and Member Type. I would like to add additional fields for users so that we can separate them based on their roles and grant them different access.  Is there a way to add additional fields to the user groups? I tried to do some research into this and it seems like Group Types are the way to go but I am unable to figure out how to set it up. Specifically, I want to add something like these fields to the user table.  <Name>   <Region>  <Country>  <Department>  Do I create a Group Type for each new column? How do I add the values for each field so it can be a drop down list? Thanks.
