Good morning. We have a use case with a grid that has as data source a record and we need to select all the elements of the grid.The grid allows us to select all the elements at once, but only those on the first page.We also use user filters so that the data in the grid can be filtered by those user filters. We have created a button to select all the items in the grid at once using a query, but we cannot filter that query with the user filters in the record. Is there another solution to be able to select all the elements of a grid using a registry with user filters?Is there any way to access the internal query that appian makes when using those user filters to be able to use them in the query? Thank you very much.

Is there a way to get list of unused plugins across the environment?

Hi Folks, I am trying to import around 15mb of data (via a .sql file) in maria db through the import functionality; but it's not allowing and showing error message as shown below. Anyone knows what the alternative for this is as we are gonna import gb of data from the legacy system to appian as part of data migration.  What is the max size that Appian maria db allows?

We are facing slowness sometimes timeout error with UI. On Ui we are displaying 10 columns and one with record action icons also. Data type is record type and layout is read only gridlayout.Using logical expression to filter data and user filters.The record is queried at many places in application.

Hi All,We are using Fill PDF plugin in our project. We are getting the contents.error.alertMsg error sometimes. In some previous thread, its mentioned that this will come when there is some null value. I provided " " values for null values, but still getting the same error. Any insights on this issue.

My requirement is that i have an editable grid which has lets suppose 1000 rows and i have to only sent the updated one to Database. i.e. if user change 3 out of 1000 rows then only 3 should be sent to process model or a!writerecords for updating this to DB rather than sending the whole 1000 rows. So what i did i created two variables for fetching record data from DB. 1 containing the original data and second containing the changed data, Now my requirement is to compare both these variables so that i can find the changed data which can then be sent for update.

For a while now we are getting JAXB errors in several different process models with the following error or similar to this error. Difficulty is that even if it will return the same error; where the error happens might be in different parts of the same process model (see below), but mostly it will break on the start process nodes from what I can see. We tried removing special characters or smileys from any fields that are passed to the process with clean(), since we feel like this might be causing the errors, but so far no luck yet. Any help would be appreciated!*Please note that I have redacted a large piece of the errortext for privacy purposes. Including parts that might contain the possibly disallowed characters/smileys etc. In this specific example I think it might have been the character ü, but we have found that it is also possible that the character that will break the process is only visible in our main database (not in the MariaDB) as a blank space which makes findin

Let me explain my situation: I have a workflow where certain actions are performed. When a user, let's say XYZ, initiates the process, they are initially assigned as the assignee. However, I need to be able to change this assignee. To handle this, I've created a separate workflow where I only capture the latest active tasks. From this list, I select the task for which I want to change the assignee. Once I reassign the task to a new user, let's call them ABC, I need all subsequent tasks initiated by input to go to this new assignee. To clarify, after initiating the process, I continue working with the same input task when I am the assignee. However, after reassigning the task through a different process, I need to capture the latest assignee for that process, even new assignee's information is already saved in the database. Please let me know if you need more information or if you have any suggestions.

What are three ways to trigger a process from a process model?   Use a!recordActionItem().   Use a Start Process smart service.   Run a!startProcess() from a script task.   Call a web API.   Use a subprocess

We have a few draft models saved by a developer that is no longer around. Though the same have been updated and published, when the process runs, it shows the ex-developer as process initiator. Is this a known behavior? Is there a way those draft models can be deleted?  Thanks in advance.

I am creating a dynamic intake form in case management studio where the visibility of few fields depends on values of previous fields. Without using local variables, I am facing cache issue when the values/selections are changed in the previous fields . In the interface I don't see any submit or save button to pass no the values from local variable to rule inputs. Please suggest how to handle this situation.

Hello, Is the Rule Event node supposed to break activity chaining? If yes then could someone point me how to achieve something similiar? I've got to wait for all incoming 0 to 4 flows to finish and then start the Statuses PM, all without breaking AC so i thought rule event was perfect for that but its breaking the AC. I know adding XORs and dummies in each route going into AND would solve this but im running low on nodes so maybe theres more efficient way. I'm on Appian 23.4 Thanks!

Hi, I have two environments (one is hosted, other on premise). In hosted environment Send Email Smart Service works without problems, while same code in on premise installation doesn`t.We`re using the service to send an email to the person who started a request. The configuration is following: = toemailrecipient(user(rule!HR_GetUsernameByEmployeeId(pv!recordsUpdated['recordType!HR Absence Request.fields.employeeId'])[1],"email")) Do you know what could be the reason for this to work in one setting and not in the other? Kind regards, Nejc
