Hi there. Sometimes there is a business scenario you need to make some actions more user friendly (quick). For example, if someone approves many tasks, you don't want him to open every task and click the approve (submit) option. I want to give the approver an option to submit from a site (not an input form). So I have in mind grid or list of his tasks and he can click "approve" or "reject" button in each line (instead of opening each task and click tehre). Is this possible in Appian?

Hello Community, I am using Related Record action to update a case, using Rv!identifier as context to pass the case ID which needs to be updated. And passing the identifier through rule input in the interface using  a!recordActionItem, but it is not taking the correct input(case Id) in this scenario. Any idea why this is happening.

Hi , I have a grid which fetches values through API call on clicking a button. I'm able to fetch the values when I click on that button in interface but not in Site. This interface is being called as an action in Process model and I have configured all the rule inputs in the Process model. Here in interface when I click on the Search Multi Agreement Activities I'm able to get values in below grid. . And in Site when I click on the button, its just showing the empty grid Can someone help me what could be the issue or what I missed here.

Hi All, I have a requirement  in my project. Stored Procedure  TEST2 must have error handling for below exception. i have to handle error handling methods to catch the error and return an error status with message to  xyz nightly  refresh  process model. xyz nightly  refresh must be able to retry calling the stored procedure if the duplicate key exception was caught. so below is the code which i was trying but it's not working, as i have used insert within try and inserting error details in a separate record_errors table within catch. But while i am debugging SP  through properties but it's not inserting error details in record_errors table so can anyone help me with any other approach or i am missing anything in it.  

There is a web api that runs a process model when data is passed in. Upon executing the process model, I receive a failure in the process model due to memory (attached below) which stops the process model. However the web api returns the success payload (error 200) rather than the error payload (error 500). Why doesn't the API return the on failure payload, and how do I configure it to return the failure payload if this memory issue arises again?

Required field validation is working fine in the interface and portal. But in Site the same interface is not showing "A value is required"..

The error shown in screenshot #1 is a default, built-in Appian error. That's fine. The question I have is with regards to its behavior. When I upload an empty .txt file I get this error. However I feel like it should go away when I upload another file. In screenshot #2, I uploaded an incorrect file (per my use case, user can only upload .txt or .csv files). The top error in the second screenshot is the validation error I wrote. This is not desired behavior to have both those errors there. Even if I had uploaded a correct file, the default empty file error would still display until I click a button where submit = true. And on another note, if a user tries to upload an empty .txt file again, the error message duplicates itself, as shown in screenshot #3, which I don't feel like is ever correct behavior. I know this is a built-in validation error in Appian, and I don't think there is a way for me to change its behavior, but figured I would ask. Thanks!
