In part of my requirements for this project I am working on in Appian is to allow admins of the application be able to dynamically add fields and forms from the backoffice interface for users to access and submit their responses to the dynamically generated forms. I have looked everywhere online for the answer but have found little to no information on the topic. All I found was a plugin, however I am precluded from utilizing plugins in this specific project, and as such, must be developed entirely on Appian without plugins. Can this be achieved?

Here in this model, you can see currently instance sits in Confirmation Screen user input task, but from user screen, this wasn't opened and process got closed showing "Action Completed" banner.

Also, for this node, there are two instances at the same time, though the assignee is pp!initiator.

Hello Everyone, I have a requirement of showing an editable grid when clicked on a value in a read only grid. Is it possible to do? Or Is it possible to give a search filter and user filters to a editable grid?

Hello fellow devs, I have a requirement, but I'm unsure if Appian supports it. I need to set up an integration that involves using certificates. Specifically, one of the certificates is meant to encrypt the payload. If I upload the appropriate certificate in the admin panel, will Appian automatically understand that the payload needs to be encrypted when sending an integration request? Let me know if you need more info. Thanks!

Hi, During a recent penetration testing it was found that our application is revealing informative application error messages.  When I cross checked all the APIs we have implemented we have custom HTTP responses defined for all web API if the HTTP status code from the API response is 500.  The Security analysis report describes the problem as following - When sending a POST request to  =>      /suite/rest/a/logging/latest/csp/report with malformed input parameter, the server response included debug information. This can enable an attack to refine their attack strategies. As per the standard remedial for this kind of issues I have created few custom error html pages for 404, 500 for e.g. and edited the httpd.conf file in the apache web server to point to these custom htmls...something like this .... ErrorDocument 500 /errors/500.html ErrorDocument 404 /errors/404.html But this doesn't seem to work and Appian is still giving the same respo

Hi, I have a case in our application where we consume data from pulsar via Pulsar Message Consumer, but what I noticed is that record type for the table which we are storing the data is not synchronizing automatically and after researching I saw that not all smart services can sync the record automatically.  So, my question is: can I add a Write Records node after Pulsar Message Consumer node so that the record will be synced, and if not what can be the best solution to this as scheduling a full sync is not an option because the process runs every 30 min each day, and we can schedule a full sync once a day. Thank you

Hi  We have just upgraded the Appian version from 21.4 to 23.3 and we have an issue with the date format exported to excel coming from record types, in the prior version this issue was not happening, does anyone has experienced the same issue? 21.4 version-correct format 23.3 version - incorrect format by looking the format in the excel is taking it as if it was a text but this is the logic behind the date column: if( a!isNullOrEmpty(fv!row['recordType!{92d1b022-5508-4130-83d7-528677bb837e}ACH CASE.fields.{b79811e6-b6ad-4b38-b04d-134b4d22d656}createdOn_dateTime']), todate(null), todate( text( fv!row['recordType!{92d1b022-5508-4130-83d7-528677bb837e}ACH CASE.fields.{b79811e6-b6ad-4b38-b04d-134b4d22d656}createdOn_dateTime'],"mm/dd/yyyy hh:mm AM/PM" ) )) we are just converting the date and time to date and when we do that the format gets reflected as text in the excel which was not happening in version 21.4
