DOCX table: Generated PDF table: /resized-image/__size/640x480/__key/communityserver-discussions-components-files/11/Screenshot-2025_2D00_12_2D00_04-at-10.42.15_2F20_AM.png Hi everyone, I’m using the PDF from DOCX plugin to generate a PDF from my DOCX template. The issue I’m facing is that the table formatting is not preserved in the generated PDF. In the DOCX file, long text (e.g., email addresses) wraps correctly inside the table cell and does not overflow. However, in the generated PDF, the same text overflows outside the table cell, even though the DOCX appears perfectly formatted. Has anyone encountered this issue before? Is there a workaround or specific table formatting that the plugin requires so the PDF output respects cell boundaries? Thanks in advance!

Good Afternoon, I am utilizing the pdf doc from template smart service to generate a pdf that is a snapshot document of a form that has been filled out by a user on the site.  The template I need to use in the smart service is an editable pdf template of the form that I then dynamically fill the inputs from the user into the template to generate the document.  The Problem:  The produced PDF document from the smart service is still an editable version while I need it to be a read only.  Does anyone have a solution for converting the generated new PDF from the smart service from editable to read only before I send it to off site storage?  Thank you

Dear all, we are facing an inspection error during the deployment process of the Case Management version 1.6 on Appian 24.3 as shown in the image below. We confused either the SYSTEM_GROUP_ROLE_STUDIO_EDITORS  group should be present with the package zip file or must presents on our current Appian installation as system group so if its a system group why it's not available in our current Appian 24.3

Hello, I have a question related to End-User Reporting tool. In the Appian Community it is mentioned that this tool was last updated on May 2023. Since then this listing has been archived. I would like to know if there are going to be any new versions or upgrades related to this tool in the future. Can we use this utility for future application building. Thank you.

Receiving this error when I click on Clear Filters in the Monitoring Process Activity page: Appian version 25.4

{ { '1': { loggedInStatus: "Succeeded", timestamp: { sessionDeletion: "", lastActivity: "", login: "2025-12-03 07:43:17" }, sessionId: "abcb9532-b5f5-4e2f-8946-8f08a17e307f", status: "Active" }, '2': { loggedInStatus: "Succeeded", timestamp: { sessionDeletion: "", lastActivity: "", login: "2025-12-03 08:27:31" }, sessionId: "08ad7f98-85f6-4fd5-a072-6278731cbfef", status: "Active" } } }Here in this example I want to access a field "sessionId". I tried to wrap this using a!flatten () but still it doesnt work. Any help here ? Thanks in advance.

Hi All, I'm trying to create a folder in external SFTP server and then send documents present in my appian folder to that sftp folder created. I have used SFTP Create Folder Smart Service. How do I map a customized folder name which is stored in a PV of type text to this SFTP Create Folder Smart Service? In the File path configurations, I don't see any parameter to which I can map the folder name. Please advise.

Some of the queryRecordTypes are working slow for us in prod. I am trying to monitor the performance and it has something 'performanceView.breadcrumb.recordQuery' highlighted. What does that mean and what part of the query/record it points to? Any idea Also, Appian do recommend using queryRecordType to get the data from the related records too but when I have filters and logical expressions applied to them they are performing slow.

Hi everyone, I’m currently experiencing an issue where the round() function does not return the expected results. Below are some examples. In case 2, the expected result is 512.93, but Appian returns 512.92. Additionally, in case 3, even when applying the workaround recommended in KB-1426, the output is still not correct. KB1426 document : community.appian.com/.../kb-1426-unexpected-results-on-decimal-calculations-and-rounding If the round() function cannot reliably produce correct rounding results in cases like these, is there any known alternative approach — such as a custom Expression Rule or reusable utility — to achieve accurate decimal rounding in Appian? I’m looking for: A method that consistently returns mathematically correct rounding results A reusable rule that avoids floating-point precision issues Any best practices other users may have implemented for similar cases Any suggestions, patterns, or examples would be greatly appreciated. Thank

Hi, I am having issues with the sync between Appian data types and corresponding Java plugin objects. In Appian, I have two CDTs called ‘AttachmentList’ and ‘AttachmentDescriptor’. They were generated from ‘AttachmentList.xsd’ and ‘AttachmentDescriptor.xsd’, respectively.  As seen in the screenshots above, ‘AttachmentList’ contains one field called ‘Attachments’, where ‘Attachments’ is an array of ‘AttachmentDescriptor’ data types. These two CDTs share the same namespace. I have a custom Java plugin node that takes an AttachmentList data type as input. In the process model that uses this Java plugin node, I set up AttachmentList as shown below. /resized-image/__size/640x480/__key/communityserver-discussions-components-files/19/Screenshot-2025_2D00_11_2D00_28-at-1.54.52_2F20_PM.png Here is the code in the Java plugin source file for setting up AttachmentList as input: @Input(required =

I've created a process that utilizes the PDF Doc from Template Smart Service that was working correctly until this past weekend. There were no changes to the process model or to the template used to create our documents. I use to see a fully filled out pdf and now am seeing a blank page with empty boxes that display a value when clicked. Has anyone encountered this before?New behavior:[View:/cfs-file/__key/communityserver-discussions-components-files/14/20251124_2D00_2151_2D00_03.8000270.mp4:320:240] Previous behavior: [View:/cfs-file/__key/communityserver-discussions-components-files/14/20251124_2D00_2154_2D00_57.6194333.mp4:320:240]

Hi Team, Im trying a batch list of text items and prepare a query based on that. Below is my code snippet. With this code Im getting the last item of each list for the full batch of 50 items. local!getAgreementIds: if( rule!APN_isBlank( index( index(local!PartnersResult, "data", null), "agreement__cr.id", null ) ), index( local!AgreementResult.data, "agreement__cr.id", null ), index( local!PartnersResult.data, "agreement__cr.id", null ) ), local!agreementDocIds: touniformstring(rule!APN_distinct(local!getAgreementIds)), local!batchedDocIds: a!forEach( items: enumerate(ceiling(length(local!agreementDocIds) / 50)), expression: local!agreementDocIds[ (fv!item * 50) + 1 : min((fv!item + 1) * 50, length(local!agreementDocIds)) ] ),  For ex: I have a list of 59 items, when I try to batch I should get 50 items in 1 batch and remaining 9 items in another batch

Hello, I'm exploring AI Agent features in Appian 25.4 release and going through this tutorial https://docs.appian.com/suite/help/25.4/build-triage-agent-tutorial.html and trying to recreate this. For this, I tried calling the expression rule and save the result in output. While testing, it just shows processing for long time. Kindly help me with what I'm missing here. Is there is any specific prompt do we need to follow to map the inputs or the AI agent will automatically infer the data based on our prompt.

Hello Appian Community, I’m exploring Appian Case Management and came across some implementations described as “case management style.” However, when researching, I see references to Appian Case Management as a native framework. Observations from typical implementations: Short-lived processes triggered on UI submission Routing logic partly handled via staric Match() expressions State stored in database tables Audit/history maintained manually in tables My questions: 1. In Appian, is Case Management a native framework that you configure, or is it just a coding style/pattern? 2. How can we objectively distinguish a true case management implementation from a hybrid or DB-driven workflow that only simulates case management? 3. Are there official Appian guidelines or best practices confirming this? Thank you for your guidance!
