Hi, My entity is a sql server view. The first field is a nullable varchar.  When this field is null  or a zero length string , it appears in the created file with double inverted commas and not blank. All subsequent fields return nulls or  zero length strings correctly  as blanks ie ""|value1|||value2value3|value4|||value5""|value6|||value7 If  I create a UTF-8 csv file manually in excel with the first column as blank, it does not add double inverted commas, which is what I would expect ie |value1|||value2value3|value4|||value5|value6|||value7 Has anybody had a similar issue ? Thanks

Hi!!! When we create a database and define there the relationships between tables using FOREIGN KEY... REFERENCES... all the systems can automatically retrieve those relationships and represent them, but Appian does not do so. Why Appian do not reflect the relations in the Record Types? If we define ONE relationship 1:N in a database, there are indeed two implicit relations: a relation from 1--->N and another form N-->1. Why Appian adds a direction for the relations? Is there a reason for that or any type of advantage to define specifically a direction for a relation? Thanks.

Hello, I have one main dashboard that displays a readonly grid which has as datasource one expression rule in which i have a a!queryProcessAnalytics. In the grid that I display I'm using a!processTaskLink(). The problem is in case an action is taken on one task where it should return back to the same user, it won't be displayed in the grid anymore (most of the time), only after they refresh the page. I would like to avoid the refresh button on the page and I have also tried with refreshVariables and it doesn't work. Any ideas how I can refresh first the grid and then display the page without being necessary to refresh the page? Thank you!

Hi,  I am working on exporting a record grid to excel. I am getting an error message while using Export Data Store Entity to Excel Smart Service.  Filters field must be of type QueryFilter or LogicalExpression (APNX-1-4505-019).  I am using a script task to get the values and passing into the filter node input.  What could be the problem here? Can anyone help me with it? Thanks   a!queryLogicalExpression( operator: "AND", filters: { a!queryFilter( field: "partNumber", operator: "includes", value: pv!partNumberFilter ), a!queryFilter( field: "supplierId", operator: "=", value: pv!supplierFilter ), a!queryFilter( field: "manufacturerId", operator: "=", value: pv!manufacturerFilter ) }, ignoreFiltersWithEmptyValues: true )

Hi Team,I have a CDT in the below format :  id , item id, field name, field value, field seq no where id is the primary key. Eg of values : 1, 1,  Name, Alex, 1 2, 1, Age, 45, 2 3, 1, DOJ, 2022-04-05 08:56:00, 3 4, 1, Designation, Engineer, 5 Field values in the above CDT are taken from user input in a form. I have another CDT in below format :  id, item id, value 1, value 2, value 3, value 4, value 5, value 6I want the field values from 1st CDT to be saved to value columns of second CDT as per field seq no. Like for the above example of CDT 1, my CDT2 should return :  1, 1, Alex, 45, 2022-04-05 08:56:00,  null,  Engineer,  nullHow can we achieve this in Appian? Our first preference would be achieving this either in an interface or expression rule. We use process model in back end so we can use that also.Appian version 21.1 Any suggestions would help us out.

Hi all, I'm fairly new to Appian and having trouble filtering a record type.  The field I'm trying to filter by is a boolean. When it's approved, the field changes to 1, if it's denied, changes to 0. But if it's neither approved nor denied, the field is null. I need to filter out all the fields with a null value. I'm currently using the guided configuration and have tried = null, = a!isNullOrEmpty(), <> {1, 0}, and a variety of other methods but none seem to be working. I'm currently working to see if I may need to write it in expression mode instead, but any help or guidance would be appreciated. Thank you!

Hi,   While querying a record data using a expression rule invoking a!queryRecordType from a Timer event results in the "ERROR:EVAL:@reason=Assignment in invalid location" error and Pauses the Process instance. The expression rule seems to work fine from other places like a script task. Please revert back if any solution is found for this or facing similar issues. -Marimuthu S
