Hi Everyone, i have a task where i need to send OTP's to the numbers by sending SMS through appian, how can this task be performed. Thanks, Sathvik

I have a situation where in grid row layout, in a single column I need to have a text field and rich text display fields below the text field. See reference as below.Is it even possible?Thanks in advance.

I have many robotic tasks, all of them runs when triggered either from process or by Re-execution or By TEST button, but one of the Robotic tasks which was executing previously has stopped triggering from process model, the process model gets stuck at the robotic tasks node without any errors and fails with timeout after long time. Re-execution of the previous instances is also not triggering any new instance for this robotic tasks alone. 

It seems like in order to use MS Graph Email Poller for different inboxes, I would want to set up different schemas in the MySQL Appian Cloud database (so the tables APP_MAIL_POLLER and APP_MAIL_POLLER_DOC that the plug in uses would have a unique table per inbox).  Are there any drawbacks to this approach that someone might be aware of? We have the SCS and everything set up correctly (except for a permissions error on the secret element which is out of date). The documentation of that plug in mentions that the jndi should be set up as a datasource in admin console.  Does that mean that it treats the connection as 'accessing it from external code'?  Or, can we reference it in a different way? Thanks for any insight!

Hi everyone, Im using an User Input Task with a!fileUploadField. What I need is to verify that the Excel uploaded does not contain mor than 500 rows so the user cannot submit the form. But as the file is temporary I cannot access to its information, and I alreay saw that it is not possible using a!submitUploadedFiles function. Any ideas for solving this? Thank you!

Sometimes, when I test an agent, it processes for a while, then after a few minutes throws this error: System Error This appears to be a system issue. Try again later or submit a support case if the problem continues. Source: Run Agent - Agent: DG_testAgent - Run ID: 52 Details: LLM execution failed: INVALID_TOOL_RESPONSE - Required schema field not provided in data tree: textValue Any suggestions on what could be going on? Sometimes the agent succeeds, but the frequency of getting this error makes me concerned about using this in production. 26.3 environment hosted on Appian Cloud.

I am using a!currency to show thousand separator but it by default shows $ symbol if used USD ISO.Here I need to remove this  $ symbol while displaying this field.

Encountering an issue with the ESRI ArcGIS map component plugin. Specifically, I'm utilizing the 'esriMapMarkerField' configuration to mark points, lines, and polygons on the map. Within this configuration, there are fields named 'onNewPointAdded', 'onNewLineAdded', and 'onNewPolygonAdded', which are supposed to trigger and save the new markings added by the user on the map. However, I'm facing a problem where after adding a point on the map and saving it onto the record type, the next time I attempt to fetch that point, it doesn't appear on the map. It seems like there might be an issue with retrieving and displaying the saved points. Could someone guide on how to ensure that points added to the map are retrieved and displayed?

Hi Team,I have a requirement to export more than 100 columns of data into an excel file. Since we have a limit of 50 columns in export data store entity to excel, I am unable to achieve this functionality directly. Can anyone please suggest the approach of achieving this functionality? Thanks!!

I'm running through the spaceX integration demo as practice, and when the step got to the end and I'm supposed to upload an image to the billboard layout, but it didn't render. The document is jpg file, and it does end up rendering in the a!imageField (only when it's set to size = FIT) as you can see in the corner there. I can get other jpgs to render, but not this one. I'm wondering if it might be because it's too big (size = 20.12kb) or because it downloaded as a web file and I had to manually change extension to jpg (but it loads fine in the file preview when I click on the doc). Anyone know why it might not be rendering? Thank you!

Currently in Appian we are able to call this smart service to update the value of the constant, but we have no ability to update the Description of the constant, which is useful to developers for referencing the constant's value. This also forces us to save the constants under the developer's account rather than the service account.  Any abilities to update the description in the works for future iterations??  Thanks

I'm having some issues understanding how to use indexes into a forEach taking the items from a expression rule. I'll explain my problem a little bit deeper; I'm trying to get some of the properties from the RecordType "Anomalie", i would like to use the expression rule with get me all of the anomalies linked to a specific pension by the pensionid, and get the description, the name, the action related to it. But i'm having trubles indexing these properties once I call the expression rule. When I try to use fv!item.description into the description rich text field it seems like it doesn't recognize the object as a record type.  I pasted the code snippet for the forEach i have in the interface, does anyone had some similar issues and may give me suggestions on what to try to make it work? Thank you so much!! (my finished product should be a card for each anomaly found linked to the record Beneficiary, each with their description, name and related action)

Hi Appian Community, Any cloud customers experienced this issue? Our clients report not receiving our outbound emails that have been custom configured already in the Sender field (i.e. not Process, Process Designer, Process Model, or Process Initiator that will create different sender names) but a custom and consistent sender name. We have verified that the DNS in the SPF records contain all of our Appian site names. We also enabled DKIM to contain a verified email signature. However, whenever our shared Appian mail server IPs get added to the Outlook/Microsoft global block list, our outbound emails get blocked. Any resolution that anybody implemented to get around this issue? Thanks in advance.

Hi Team, We have a scenario where Process Model 1 calls Sub‑Process Model 2 in synchronous mode. Sub‑Process Model 2 contains Process 2.1 and Process 2.2.Normally, these complete within expected time, but if Process Model 2 runs longer than 15 minutes, we want to:- Terminate Sub‑Process Model 2.- Mark it as completed so it doesn’t remain in an in‑progress state. Essentially:- Process Model 1 (synchronous) → Process Model 2.1 & 2.2.- If execution exceeds 15 minutes, enforce a timeout, terminate, and mark complete. Question to the Community:- What is the recommended way to implement this timeout/termination logic in Appian?- Is there a best practice for handling long‑running synchronous sub‑processes (e.g., timers, escalation paths, or design patterns)?Error "The amount of time allocated for the completion of an unattended activity was insufficient to allow the activity to complete."

I have record A and a record B on same source table but using different sync filters, all the DB writes and updates are happening through record A, so it is holding all the updated values, but record B is not getting synced to update the latest values.I tried establishing one to one relationship between record A and B, using same primary key, but still sync doesn't happen. Is there any other way to sync the record B whenever an update happens to the source table through record A?

Hello Everyone, In my record view interface, I have a child interface that contains a related action. I recently added another related action whose only purpose is to refresh the data. In the parent interface, I’m using a!refreshVariable() so that local variables are refreshed after a record action completes. The related action in the child interface has visibility logic defined both: in the record type (Views and Actions → action security/visibility), andinside the child interface itself.When I click my refresh-related action, all the data and components in the interface are refreshed, but the visibility condition defined in Views and Actions is not re-evaluated. As a result, when I refresh to load the latest data, the related action does not appear on the screen unless I do a full browser refresh. i tried to have a start form in my related action's process model even at that time screen was not refreshed. Pretty much tried everything still record level security was not

Hi everyone,  I'm having a multi layer nested CDT (Nested CDT that is a column in another nested CDT column of the main CDT that uses as data type) which is taking too long to query data and sometimes causes time out error. I would love to have some suggestion to optimise/ replace it with something else if possible.  Thank you 

I have a subset of .msg files which when read with the read msg smart service, render in a tiny font with the .html output which results in AI being unable to interpret.  Would I probably be better off running several reg ex statements to exclude tags that are confusing it and pasting in some style that would force the font, or just use the extracted (not the generated result document), or move it to PDF, or some different approach? Regards, Eric Casteel
