Hello Appian enthusiasts, I am trying to improve an internal deployment process, and one thing that pop up is the need to update "Group Attributes" in every environment, because we are using SAML Sync. I know Stefan already published an awesome article proposing a solution (SAML Group Sync – Appian Rocks). However, it is for applications starting from scratch. In my case the pieces are already setup. Then, I couldn't find in the documentation a way to use the Customization File for that (Managing Import Customization Files - Appian 24.2). Is there a way to update the group attribute during the deploy or am I asking too much from the Customization File capabilities? Thanks in advance for all!

Greetings I am trying to use Document Extraction AI Skill to save information in a Commission Statement. The Commission Statement has standard details (Statement Number, Statement Date, Total Commission Paid, Production Cycle etc. It then has a breakdown which has Commission Line Items (Client Name, Surname, Policy Number, Policy Type, Amount, VAT).  I have created a similar process model to the one in the Tutorial: https://docs.appian.com/suite/help/24.1/create-skill-doc-extraction.html I therefore have a Table that speaks to Commission Statements and a Table that speaks to Statement Items. No the problem here is that the Commission Statements record Type gets updated with relevant data from the Document, however the Statement Items information following the Reconcile Doc Extraction results does not populate into the Statement Items record type. I have created the One-To-Many relationship between the Commission Statement and Statement Items Record Type and left the Writ

It's common practice to store the Appian username to the database for the createdBy, updatedBy, assigned, and similar fields. It's easy to handle in Appian to support search and filter capabilities when referencing those fields in a record type. But occasionally an associate has a name change, which subsequently causes their Appian username to change, since it's often their email address or something similar. That change disrupts the different features that depend on the username to match in Appian. At my current client, we're trying to mitigate that disruption by storing the UUID for each user instead. It's easy to use the People Functions plug-in to derive all of the user's information from that UUID. But, search, filters, and sorting will use the UUID. I tried remedying that by creating a custom record field, but it doesn't allow the user() function (or any plug-in function) to be called from the expression. How can I do this without resorting to a CDT an

Hello! Our integration with DocuSign just stopped working on August 29th at around 2:30 eastern.  We spent the morning with DocuSign techs and were not able to resolve the issue.   DocSign came back with "This would indicate that the mechanism relaying your auth token is either not properly relaying it or the token itself is being cut off. The messaging would indicate that it's not being included at all, and that the CORS related error I was seeing was a red herring related to attempting to send envelopes without a registered IntegratorKey.  We have put in a support ticket, but is anyone facing this issue?  And if so were you able to resolve it?

hi,  I have a record list from  excel sheet which will be uploaded from interface Excel sheet record1 : id:1,name:"A" record2: id:2,name:"B" record3: id:3,name:"A"  Database :  record1 : id:"A01",name:"A" The record list in the excel has to go to the data base with new updated id , based on validating existing record in the database.  Updated list should be like  record1 : id:"A02",name:"A"  -> increments because this name already exists record2: id:"B01"name:"B"  -> starts with 1 because , it is not available in the database yet record3: id:"A03",name:"A"  I am trying to lay out a design with out using loops for the records in the excel sheet as they might be huge. Can you provide any optimized design solution for this ?

Can anyone let me know if there is a way to update the group security using the Create Group smart service or any other method? Currently, my functionality requires me to create multiple groups with a single click. While this process successfully creates the groups, it automatically adds me as an admin to each group. I need to remove the creator’s name from the security settings. If you have any solutions or suggestions for this issue, please let me know.

It is a FormLayout with submit button, that works as a standalone: validation before the startprocess is fired. However, if I make it an interface called from a record view, it stops working: the process starts without the validation being done (basic "required" info).Here is the simplified code for the form: a!formLayout( contents: { a!columnsLayout( columns: { a!columnLayout( contents: { a!textField( label: "Numéro article", labelPosition: "ADJACENT", value: ri!record['recordType!{b3cc31cc-1595-401f-b13c-16b953dd1f5b}ED Projet.fields.{b0296e3d-29b7-42e8-acd8-a99e9fd26649}budgetPrevisionnel'], saveInto: ri!record['recordType!{b3cc31cc-1595-401f-b13c-16b953dd1f5b}ED Projet.fields.{b0296e3d-29b7-42e8-acd8-a99e9fd26649}budgetPrevisionnel'], required: true ), },

Hi Champs, I have a map value having multiple key and value pair. Now I want to check for a value which exists in one or more key. So I guess the only way to do that is to iterate over the keys in the map.  How can I achieve the same. As of my knowledge, for each works for no of map not for no of key/value pair in a map.

Hi all, I'm a beginner of Appian, and I am required to show data in a record type by using editable grid in an interface. May I know how to do it? If I use "read-only" grid, it is easy to show the data from record type, but I cannot do it by using an editable grid.. I've tried to look for a document in https://docs.appian.com/suite/help/24.2/Editable_Grid_Component.html#related-patterns, but I could not find it. I need your help! Thank you in advance, Yuki

Our user case is, We have an UI to manage the tasks where we have 2 dropdowns, Task Name and Precedent task name as shown below.Task Name -> Precedent Task NameTask A        -> ------Task B       -> Task ATask C       -> Task B Condition is,Task B can be dependent on Task A but Task A cannot be dependent on Task BTasks B & C can be dependent on Task A but Task A cannot be dependent on Task B or CTask B can be dependent on Task A and Task C can be dependent on Task B, but Task A cannot be dependent on Task C. Basically the requirement is to prevent creating circular logic among tasks. Since Task B is dependent on Task A, only if Task A is completed then Task B can be enabled. When user selects Task B or Task C as the precedent task for Task A, then a circular dependency will be created, hence to avoid this when user select B or C as Precedent task for Task A in UI, an error message should be shown. Today we have
