So, i want to update a related field of a record, that contains an array of records. Im trying to do it by using append, but no values are stored into the field.   Anyone knows if there is a way to achieve this? Doing it in the initialization of the object works, but i need to update it on demand. thank you very much!.

Hi All, I am looking for any pointers that anyone can provide from their past experience of handling OPERATE work for Appian platform, including bug fixes. Lets assume the platform hosts around 5 High complexity applications and 5 Medium complexity applications. what would be the parameters we should be looking out for in structuring the team for such operate work. Really appreciate any advice / inputs from anyone. Thanks in advance.

I have a requirement where I need to send an Image ID using users data(his profile pic in Appian) through an API. (plz don't question the reason)user(), document() and some other image related functions were unhelpful.There are components that can be used to get the image and display it such as userImage, but its useless to me in an expression(rule).I also looked up discussions.. nothing for this specific case.Another note: a process is involved, so smart services can be used(I don't know if there is one to help in this case) any suggestions?extra:wataheck is this? this gibberish happened when I added ('), and it stayed that way

When I open the site it should show tasks assigned to me by default.

What does the below warning mean in AI skills document extraction? Files with pages with too many tokens These files contained pages with too many tokens (token limit: 512) for the model to process. Labeled entities on these pages may not be included in training if they fall beyond the token limit.

I want to show customized confirm dialog box (instead of the Appian default "The Task Couldn't be submitted" message) whenever the user input task is timed out (in our case the exception timer we have kept for UI task is 20 mins). Also at present when the user clicks OK button in the default dialog box, then the page stays there and either the user have to press F5 to restart the process or have to click on any of the SITE tabs to come out of the screen. Instead, I have a requirement to come out of the current UI and the system should redirect the user to the page where the process was called from eg., if the process was a related action and one of the UI task timed out, on click of OK button the system should redirect the user to the page where the process was triggered i.e., record summary page.

I have a read-only grid that uses an expression rule as its data source. Now, I want to implement manual pagination. When a user clicks on the 'Next' button, it should trigger a request to the API to fetch the next set of data, which will then be displayed on the interface. Is this doable in Appian?

Hi, I am currently receiving an error when trying to convert free text from a paragraph into an html, simply because the single apostrophe (') does not convert to a special character when trying to create html formats used to create a microsoft document and convert it to pdf. The document either shows the escape character of ' or we receive an exception error in the process model. I am using the smart service Configure DocX From Dynamic Template. I have been using the toHtml() function to convert all text into html format, but only receive this error for sing apostrophes. Any help would be useful. Thank you.

Hi teamHere is my scenario:I am busy changing my application to get rid of CDTs and use Record Types instead. As I understand it this means I have to change any query using queryEntity to queryRecordType.Here is an example of an existing expression:{ a!entityData( entity: cons!SAM_DSE_SOFTWARE_STATUS, data: reject( fn!isnull, a!forEach( items: { { uuid: cons!SAM_UUID_SOFTWARE_STATUS_APPROVE, name: "Approve", order: 1 }, { uuid: cons!SAM_UUID_SOFTWARE_STATUS_BACKLIST, name: "Backlist", order: 2 }, { uuid: cons!SAM_UUID_SOFTWARE_STATUS_REJECT, name: "Reject", order: 3 }, }, expression: a!localVariables( local!status: rule!SAM_getSoftwareStatusByUUID(uuid: fv!item.uuid), if( isnull(local!status), 'type!{urn:com:appian:types:

Hi guys, Encountered an interesting behaviour today in a workflow that encompasses a multitude of different process models. Each PM is a step in the process, and some steps are performed by different teams. E.g. Team A would perform a relevance check, then Team B would check if all is in order and either approve or send it back. What I noticed is that sometimes Team A will not receive an automated email by Appian with their task, although they are the assignee in Appian and can navigate to it from there. And it seems that it has to do with how Activity Chaining and the checkbox for "Override assignment for the next attended activity even if the current user is not an assignee" in the flow properties is set up? I tried to check the documentation for information / best practices in this regard, but didn't find anything pertaining to this problem. Would someone happen to know what the rules are and what pitfalls I should avoid when modelling such a workflow? Best,

Hello, i have to find out a document using Document Name which is uploaded in the past. (which is no longer available). I have looked into different System Logs like 'deletion.log', file_attachment_download, blocked_files.csv and unscanned_files.csv but no luck. Surprisingly there is no documentation available for Uploaded Documents in system logs. Could you please suggest if I am missing anything here? Thanks in advance.
