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

Hi All, In health check report, Risk Category is unknown for many rows. what will be the reason behind this. Below is one of the record it showed in the report, (Appian Configuration ) Appian datasource exposed in business  datasource list which had risk category as unknown. Can someone please tell why Appian is not able to detect the risk category and what we can do to get the risk category in the health check. Thanks in Advance!!

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 All, I have a requirement to download the data into excel using web api in Appian. Data is coming from external API. Using web api, I am able to dowload .csv and.xls file. But To download the .xlsx file. Is there any way. Currently I am writing the sample code like below. a!localVariables( local!data:{ {name:"A",age:10}, {name:"A",age:10} }, a!httpResponse( headers: { a!httpHeader( name: "Content-Type", value: "application/vnd.openxmlformats-officedocument.spreadsheetml.sheet" ), a!httpHeader( name: "Content-Disposition", value: "attachment; filename= test.xlsx" ) }, body:local!data ) ) whenever i tried to open the file. Below is the error. Can you please tell how can we resolve this issue? .  Thanks in Advance!!

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?

Having an issue when attempting to configure cmgt studio portal module.Errors are: Incompatible function used. Refactor the portal object precedents to only use functions compatible with portals. Incompatible functions will not work in a published portal. The following precedents use an incompatible function: CMGT_UTIL_SystemTimezone [usertimezone].

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

Hi Team, Currently we are reading excel but due to confidential file it is throwing below error. Expression evaluation error at function 'readexcelsheetpaging': org.apache.pol.openxml4j.exceptions.OLE2NotOfficexmlFileException. The supplied data appears to be in the OLE2 Format. You are calling the part of POI that deals with OOXML (Office Open XML) Documents. You need to call a different part of POI to process this data (eg HSSF Instead of XSSF) Can anyone help on this to which function help to check format in excel  Thanks  Divya 

Hi Dears, I am receiving Below Error while Viewing record data view All the Record Types. The Requested Record Type Is Not Available Expression evaluation error [evaluation ID = MFH3P] at function a!recordList: Type RecordType constructor passed 17 fields, but expected 50 fields (APNX-1-4198-000) Though the records are successfully crated, data is inserted in the table and no integrations in place.

Hi Experts, Third party app admin has provided me API to call along the bearer token to authorize. Kindly suggest if  Appian can use such bearer token Authorize the API calls or not if yes then can we use it in our connected system or not, for now I have used it directly in the integration object as header but its not working. While using below Request payload in Appian Integration object its not being read properly because of the [ ] brackets.{ "advanced_search": { "condition_rules_attributes": [ { "type": "ProfileTypeRule", "comparison_operator": "==", "value": "some vale" }, { "type": "ProfileStatusRule", "comparison_operator": "==", "value": "Active" }, { "type": "ProfileAttributeRule", "condition_object_id": "some value", "object_type": "NeAttribute", "comparison_operator": "==", "value": "some value" } ] } }

Hi All, We were previously using AI Document Center 2.9, and whenever we created a classification model, the system would automatically create the corresponding classification AI skills in the Generated Objects application. Recently, we upgraded to Document Center 3.1. After the upgrade, when we create a classification model, the AI skill is no longer created automatically. Upon reviewing the Create Classification process model, I noticed that it was updated as part of the upgrade and no longer calls the “create objects” process model, which the earlier version did. Is this the expected behavior in Doc Center 3.1? Or is there any additional configuration or post‑upgrade step that we might have missed to enable automatic AI skill creation? Thanks in advance

I am not able to get the course or learning path for Appian Process Mining? Where can i get it?

We're using Appian 25.4. We have a ReadOnly Grid that gets it data from a Record, which has a DataSource of a Process Model. Recently, we added 3 new fields to a CDT used in this Process Model as a Process Variable (note this CDT does not get written to the database at any point), and updated the grid to include one of these new fields. Since then, when we export the grid to Excel, we get the error "Query has failed: null". Undoing the changes we made results in the same problem, which has lead me to believe it's a problem with the data in the process instances, especially as when we filter the data on the grid to exclude instances that have these changes, we don't get this error at all. The really strange thing is this error isn't consistent, as we've been able to export data that includes the changes we've made to the process model, the CDT, and the grid. Has anyone else encountered this particular error message?

The grid was working fine before 2 days but now started to face this issue. None of the grid is loading

Hi Team, We've run into a unique problem with the Excel Tools plugin.  Scenario is as follows: We have a set of records with various data types and a pre-formatted Excel template where cell types are already configured. For most values the export is unproblematic as the standard Appian 4-byte integer is enough to handle the integer values. However, there's a new requirement that allows us to handle values beyond that limit (i.e. LongInt), which can be used on database side, but cannot be mapped to Appian Records where we have to rely on Text values instead. While there are plugins like Big Numbers Functions that support big decimal and integer numbers, this doesn't change the fact that we are still providing the Excel Tools plugin with a text values. Although the text is all natural numbers, the cell format in the exported Excel is of type Text and must be manually changed after download before it can be used downstream. My question to you all is whether you have
