Hi all, I'm new to low code platforms. I've written an application (a statistical model) in Javascript. I want to develop some additional components in a low code platform such as some basic screens with a user interface and a database which will store the data to be sent to the model. The plan is to commercialise the model so we will also need to have controls over user access, billing functionality etc. I would appreciate any feedback as to whether Appian is a good platform for doing this, and/or whether there are any other recommendations. Thank you for your help.

Hi, is there a way to get the failed process model instances via an expression rule, like a function or something?

Hello Appian Community, I'm currently working on a Task where I need to clean up multiple versions of Appian objects, particularly interfaces and rules. Manually deleting each version is proving to be very time-consuming. Is there an efficient way to delete these versions in bulk? Any scripts, plugins, or built-in functionalities within Appian that could help streamline this process would be greatly appreciated.

Hi, We are trying to use Kafka Tools plug-in to consume and publish from Kafka with Schema Registry from Confluent Cloud. This plug-in does not support AVRO format in Confluent's Schema Registry, so we're evaluating if we could solve this by creating a Smart Service Plug-in to serialize/deserialize with the AVRO Java libraries. The idea is to serialize the messages before using Publish to Kafka and then deserialize the data after Consume from Kafka stores them in db. Does anyone know if these Smart Services can send and receive the binary in AVRO format? Has anyone tried to do this or something similar? Thanks in advance

Is there default behavior for when a user refreshes a page in the middle of a process within an interface?

Hi, Our requirement is to store the choice value selections from Multiple dropdown with choices from a record type into a separate join table rather than semi colon separated. We are using 23.3 version and the application is built on top of record types instead of CDT's and configured the records using many to many relationship between main & join tables.  Problem here is the choice value selection neither deleting nor updating in the join table, it's always keep inserting as a new values in the join table every time when we reselect the choice selection.  Is there a way to handle this issue to delete  or update the unselected choice selection?.

I am sending a POST request via an integration, and this endpoint requires that a JWS (signature of the body) is sent in a header. This is similar to a JWT, except that what is signed is the body of the POST rather than the claims included in the token. In our instance, I see the plugin functions for creating JWTs, but none of them seem to have the ability to create a JWS. Any ideas on this one or will I have to create my own function plugin?

Hi team,                         has anyone implemented the PKI integration with appian for SSO purpose. Or AADHAR integration. Appreciate your response here.

Hi Folks, I want to provide OOTB export functionality of record in my interface; but seems like there is limitation in grid, we can only use it if data is sourced from record.  I am getting my record data by using a!queryRecordType instead of a!recordData as a!recorddata doesn't have parameters for grouping.  Is there any easy way to achieve the same instead of again creating a view and using as DSE and doing export functionality separately as we were doing earlier.

Weird thing happened, I have a if() function if(    my condition,     value when true,    remove(local!myList, wherecontains(cons!code, local!myList.code)) ) when I take the remove() out of if(), it's result is a list of 4 items, but in if(), it's result is a list of 1 item And I tried with wherecontains(), when it's a standalone out of if(), the result is List of Number (Integer) - 0 items, but in if() the result became  But why would this remove 3 items from myList?

Hi All, We are facing one issue while fetching data having few filters. For e.g., the filters like to_date, fund etc are working fine but the moment we select from Date, it throws error. And surprisingly when I am selecting from_date after selecting any other filter, it is working fine.

Is there any way or function  to display or get the total list or the count of application in the environment. I need it for the report page in UGMA. Also the recent activity of loggedInuser over time or something like that.

I have this array {100, 50, 20,50,10} and a variable x = 600, I need help to create a rule that creates an array with the results that must be calculated in this way: The first value of the array must be subtracted with the variable x, the result must be subtracted with the second value of the array, the previous result must be subtracted with the third position and so on. The results must be stored in an array. At the moment I have this code but it does not work correctly a!localVariables( local!regularizaciones: {100, 50, 20,50,10}, local!initialValue: 600, local!resultArray: {local!initialValue}, a!forEach( items: a!forEach( items: local!array, expression: fv!item ), expression: a!localVariables( local!currentValue: fv!item, local!lastResult: index(local!resultArray, length(local!resultArray)), local!newResult: local!lastResult - local!currentValue, local!resultArray: append(local!resultArray, local!newResult) ) ), local!resultArray ) I appreciate any help

Hi Folks, I am showing the data in a grid format in the dashboard page and the request id in that grid is a link which is navigating to the record summary page. I am providing record action in summary page for user to take some action which is being opened in a dialog box. Now when user submit the dialog box, the process running in the background and once completed, the user is coming in the summary dashboard. Now the client wants, when user submit that record action, instead of landing in the record summary page, then want to land into the dashboard page. Is it feasible? Regards, Ghanashyam

How to test expression rules with rule inputs having more than 4000 characters?

Hi Champ, I have a map variable and the same is used in the table. So I can see it was coded as todatasubset to the map variable with a local defined pagination variable. It's working fine if the map is having less no of rows then pagination ;but getting errorrdout when it's having more rows..message says like "batc size was 0 but te largest column data array had 12 items." So FYI: We are not using datasubset rather using todatasubset. Regards, Ghanashyam

Hi, I have a requirement where I am querying a process report to check if an active process exist. If there is an active process which means a task was created and based on that the UI is made read-only. I have to query the process report continuously to check if the task is created until the process is triggered. The UI is editable but as soon as the task is created the UI becomes read-only(by querying process report for active instance). Once its in read-only the query should not happen to check the process report. EX: local!editReportdata: a!refreshVariable( value: index( rule!getActiveInstances( pagingInfo: a!pagingInfo(1, 1), workflow: ri!workflow ), "data", {} ), refreshAlways: true() ), local!isInstanceActive:a!isNotNullOrEmpty(local!editReportdata) Here, once local!isInstanceActive is true it should remain true even though local!editReportData becomes null. if local!isInstanceActive is false it should keep on checking until it gets true(). Or the variable local!
