I have a text "....<a></a><Line....." from which I need to remove the characters <a></a>.  How can I achieve this?

Is there a best practice to handle a one-to-many relation in a record so that I can save and update the items selected from a multiple dropdown? (basically a use case where my object can have a list of related features, that can be changed). In https://docs.appian.com/suite/help/26.6/Multiple_Dropdown_Component.html#usage-considerations, I see that I can use a foreach to settle my data. But how do I say to Appian that it must remove the items that are not mentioned in the data I try to save? From what I am able to do right now, it is necessary to remove the unwanted items from the relation before inserting the new ones.

Would it be possible to add an sparkle or AI icon to the icon set in a future release? thanks

As far as I can tell, I have followed the instructions to the letter. But my results are not the data from the Vehicle record. In fact, when I went and looked at "W0420AA_QR_getVehicle" and tested the inputs, I found that the result is always an ID or an array of IDs, never the record data. What did I miss? What am I doing wrong?

When I test AI Agent it is working as expected and giving result. But when I incorporated it within Process model, it is giving error: Agent 250512b0-a322-45b6-85c5-525b87755a8c could not be found. So, I created another AI agent and getting same error stating Agent could not found. I have double checked the UUID of the AI Agent it is correct. What could be the reason? In Admin console for our environment AI services are enabled and active.

I have two records related to the same project, "Template" and "Area." Both records share the same EVENT_HISTORY and EVENT_TYPE tables. Each of these records has a 1:m relationship with the EVENT_HISTORY table, but we did not relate the EVENT_HISTORY table to either record. We have a recordType column on the EVENT_HISTORY table to differentiate what type of record each event is referring to. Our devs prefer this approach to creating a new EVENT_HISTORY and EVENT_TYPE table for every record for the sake of organization. In each record, I have configured the events comment field to be a distinct event name for adding comments following these instructions. Template Record -> "Comment on Template" Area Record -> "Comment on Area" The template record was created first and behaves as expected.  Whenever I attempt to add top level comments to the event history list for the Area record, it stores the event

I am exploring the possibility of integrating RDF (Resource Description Framework)-based semantic data into an application developed in Appian. The objective is to leverage RDF's interoperability and reasoning capabilities, as well as its integration with technologies such as SPARQL and standardized ontologies (e.g., OWL, FHIR, SNOMED CT). Given that Appian is a low-code platform focused on flexibility and integration, I would like to ask: Does Appian natively support managing RDF data or executing SPARQL queries? If native support is unavailable, what strategies or external tools does the community recommend for integrating RDF systems (e.g., via APIs or custom connectors)? Are there any known cases of successful RDF implementations in Appian, either directly or through integration with systems like Apache Jena, Virtuoso, or Blazegraph? Any guidance on how to approach this integration would be greatly appreciated. I am particularly interested in: Managing RDF triples within Ap

Hi Team, Our chat agent is intermittently failing when attempting to execute tool calls. End users are receiving one of the following error messages during these interactions: Tool execution failed: Downstream tool request failed I'm currently experiencing a system issue retrieving the data.

How accurate AI Agent works same task with different data. Will it hallucinate or imagine things and provide output? Does it reconcile based on the repeated tasks or does it take every new data as new task?

hi All! I completed the ACD101: Appian Certified Associate Developer exam on 05/16/2026. The exam status in the ProctorU portal shows “Fulfilled” ,”but my certification/result is still not visible in my Appian account and not get any score report. Also, the exam auto-submitted before I manually clicked the final submit button and I got no email for my score or any pop up to show my score while auto submitted. I already contacted certifications@appian.com and support@appian.com but have not received a response yet since saturday. Has anyone faced a similar issue before? How long does it usually take for the certification/result to appear?or what step i need to take next? Thank you.

Hi Team, We have created a report/dashboard in Appian and exposed it through a Site. However, not all of our clients have Appian user access/licenses. We are evaluating Appian Portals as a potential solution, but we'd like to understand what other approaches the community has used successfully. We're particularly interested in hearing from anyone who has implemented this successfully in production. Thanks in advance.

In our application we are displaying customers list in editable grid based on status we have to highlight the row for example of status = matched then row should be green not matched it should be yellow how can i do please help as per my knowledge we cant give color in editable is there any way .

Good evening, I have been going through the developer learning path.  On the course to start developing an application as a step by step, I appear to be missing the main tutorial application that is referenced in the guide (acme-sport-equipment-rental).  I see the solution, but not the practice app.  Any thoughts or guidance would be great.  Thanks.

I have been trying to go through "Appian Developer" learning path. However, it appears that my Appian Community Edition environment is not set up correctly. I discovered this when I got to "Design Record Types: Model and Configure Your Data". The sample applications are missing. So I tried to create my own app as a way to keep moving forward. However, when the AI wizard arrived at the "Data" stage, there were no data sources available.  I am just stuck and frustrated, and I feel like I am being ignored. NOTE: I have already reached out to Appian Academy <training@appian.com> and Appian Community Edition <communityedition@appian.com> last Wednesday. But I have only received automated responses.

Hello everyone, I’m configuring the Appian MCP Server in Appian 26.6 and I noticed a difference between the endpoint URL shown in the Administration Console and the one described in the documentation. In the Administration Console > MCP Server, the endpoint URL is displayed as: <ENVIRONMENT_URL>/mcp See Image 1. However, the documentation for enabling the Appian MCP Server says that the endpoint URL follows this format: <ENVIRONMENT_URL>/suite/mcpdocs.appian.com/.../enable-configure-mcp-server.html See Image 2. My question is: Which endpoint should be used when configuring an external MCP client in Appian 26.6? Should it be: <ENVIRONMENT_URL>/mcp or: <ENVIRONMENT_URL>/suite/mcp Has anyone configured this successfully and can confirm which URL is correct? Thanks in advance. Attachments Image 1: Administration Console showing the MCP endpoint as /mcp. Image 2: Documentation showing the MCP endpoint format as /suite/mcp. 

I have configured a Chat Agent named "Roster Assistant" using a!agentChatField with the following setup: The agent is connected to our Roster Record Type as a tool. Field-level instructions have been configured within the record type. Agent goals and instructions are designed to: Respond to greetings such as "Hi" or "Hello". Retrieve and return roster information for users. Problem The agent does not respond as expected. Regardless of the message sent—including simple greetings like "Hi"—the chat either takes an unusually long time to process the request or eventually returns an error. Additionally, when reviewing the execution in the Monitor tab, the agent run remains in a "Processing" state for an extended period before ultimately failing with an error. As a result, the agent is unable to provide responses for even basic interactions, making it difficult to determine whether the issue is related to the agent config

These days I have seen developers moving to using database tasks rather than a traditional User Input Task approach. What are the possible advantages of using DB tasks in terms of reducing memory footprint, creating short lived processes, performance, concurrency and auditing? Any way whether a process task report or using DB task, we'll be creating tasks to save task IDs, then how it is different and advantageous in comparison to process task report approach?

I'm building a small PoC where i need to write to an Excel spreadsheet. i need to save my data in certain cells positions.Everything i'm finding points me to use the Export dataStore to Excel Smart service and to specify those cells positions in the node input using the twocustom cell position / custom cell values.My problem is i don't have a CDT to load from, this is a purely sync records PoC. do I really have to build a CDT structure to get this to work ?

I am currently working through the Appian developer learning list, and have come to the Visualize Your Data: Reports and Dashboards lesson (https://academy.appian.com/#/online-courses/816ad062-560d-4de5-a764-531290a3e562), however there appears to be no content whatsoever. Appreciate this could be a issue specific to me, however the reviews are all very negative so figured it may not be. If anyone is able to confirm the issue/let me know where to raise it to, that would be perfect .

I am using SQL to Excel smart service and when exporting the data in excel, the headers are not coming in BOLD

We have an external event that can impact up to 1M+ Case records. For each affected Case, we need to: Update 3 fields in the Case table. Create a corresponding Event History record. We're evaluating the following approaches: Option 1 – Appian Write Records Approach A Query Cases in batches of 5000 Use MNI to process each Case in a single Write Records node to update the Case and create the corresponding Event History record Loop until all affected Cases are processed Approach B Query Cases in batches of 5000 Update all affected Cases for the batch in a Script Task Construct the corresponding 5,000 Event History records Use one Write Records node to bulk update the 5000 Case records Use a second Write Records node to bulk insert the 5000 Event History records Loop until all affected Cases are processed Option 2 – Stored Procedure Use a stored procedure to bulk update Case records and bulk insert Event History records Persist affected Case IDs and Event History

Hi all I have a requirement to build a WEB API and a Process model to update other external system. The request to the web api is: { "accountNumber": "20171941", "houseNumber": "13329892", "contractStartDate": "2022-08-25T00:00:00.0000000+01:00", "contractEndDate": "2023-08-25T00:00:00.0000000+01:00"} From the WEB API I am using the function a!fromJson to get the values for the process model from the http!request.body, as usual. When we validate the process model and it execution the dates on the request changed from 2022-08-25T00:00:00.0000000+01:00 to 8/24/2022 11:00 PM GMT+00:00. I understand that the JSON functions detects the Date but we really need to keep that format from the request. Any Idea?  Thanks Mario

Hi Team, We have a dashboard where we display Test Cases in a read-only grid. The grid is built using the recordData() function, and we have enabled the “Export to Excel” option provided out-of-the-box. Users are able to click this option and successfully download the Excel file. As part of our document cleanup process, we are deleting Excel documents generated within the application. Currently, we are able to identify and delete documents that are created via our custom export functionality. However, we have a question regarding the Excel files generated through the Record Type’s inbuilt “Export to Excel” feature: Are these exported Excel files stored anywhere in Appian (e.g., in Appian Documents or temporary storage)? If yes, is there a way to identify and delete them as part of our cleanup process? Or are these files generated on-the-fly and not persisted in Appian? Any clarification or guidance on how Appian handles these export files would be very

Hi team, We're struggling the the disk usage of our training environment as it's reaching its full capacity, there are several applications that can be deleted completely. However, there's no bulk deletion of applications including its contents, out-of-the-box. Do you know any easier way to perform these deletions?  P.D.: We would like to delete the DB objects (tables, views, etc) related to these applications as well. Thank you in advance! Regards, Tomás

We are using a DocuSign integration configured and tested successfully in the development environment with a DocuSign developer account. However, we are encountering issues during the authorization phase when using the authorization link. The authorization flow redirects correctly to DocuSign, and the login page is displayed, allowing the user to log in successfully. However, after the login, the system does not return the authorization token to the application as expected. By checking the application logs, we can see the following error during the OAuth callback processing. This error appears multiple times; below is one example: 2026-04-21 05:57:39,619 [http-nio-8080-exec-794] ERROR com.appiancorp.connectedsystems.http.oauth.OAuthServlet - Error processing request to Appian OAuth callback URL. com.appiancorp.suiteapi.common.exceptions.AppianException: Failed to decrypt.
