Hi Team, i have a card layout and on click of it the section with contents should showup to the user. For this i have added a link on card layout but on first click it doesnot saves value to local!showDetails but on second click it does because of which my section remains hidden on first click and gets visible on second click.It should save value always. The section hide and show under a card is also controlled by an external link ExpandClicked as well. Suggest a way to achieve this. link: a!dynamicLink( value: if( index( index( index( index( index( ri!final_PRN_CDT.PrnSegment.Providers, 1, {} ), "ServiceLocation", {} ), "Addresses", {} ), ri!index, {} ), "ExpandClicked",

First, please let me know if the following is correct regarding transaction control when using the Write to Multiple Data Store Entities Smart Service. If the same entity is accessed by multiple users at the same time, the update executed later will always take effect. I know that procedures can be used as a method to access tables (entities), but do you know if there is a possibility of inconsistency if a procedure and Multiple Data Store Entities have access to the same table (entity) at the same time. Is it an anti-pattern to also access by Write to Multiple Data Store Entities for a table accessed by a procedure? This is a question.

Receiving the following error on the Interface I am working on.: "Expression evaluation error: Syntax error.

When creating a new record with a user field, I want the field the field to initially be set to the current logged in user.  I need to be able to clear that field and select a different user if applicable.  In all of the functional variations I've tried, I can set a default value, but it will not allow me to change the selection.  If I click the X to clear the selection, it just repopulates with the logged-in user.  I've tried variations of the following: a!pickerFieldUsers( label: "User", labelPosition: "ABOVE", maxSelections: 1, value: if ( isnull(ri!record['recordType!{...}BWTA Event.fields.{...}user']), loggedInUser(), ri!record['recordType!{...}BWTA Event.fields.{...}user'] ), saveInto: ri!record['recordType!{...}BWTA Event.fields.{...}user'], required: true, validations: {} ), I've reviewed many discussion threads, but either my available options do not match or they do not pertain to the create action.   I review

Hi, Working in an editable grid, when adding an "instructions" parameter, it is not working and not giving any error as well. I mean, we can add "instructions" parameter value but it is not visible just below of that textfield or datefield. Is it like editable grid do not support 'instructions'? please help.

I encountered an issue:  IDP is unable to extract data from the grid in the pdf form during the Reconciliation task. We are using Google AutoML and the template is static. My form is of 4 pages with multiple Grids/Tables apart from the text fields. It is able to extract the data from the text fields correctly, however, it is unable to extract the data for the tables and the check boxes. Can you please suggest any work around or help me understand what is the correct way to implement it? Thanks.

Hi community, I face an issue when I try to access safe link. I get the below error. Thanks in advance.

Hi! I am currently assigning tasks to 3 groups simultaneously and then waiting for their response based on which action is taken. if any one of them rejects the task, task goes back to initiator only after the other 2 have taken action on it(accept/reject).But now I want to not wait for the other users, as soon as one of the users reject the task it should immediately go to initiator and the tasks for the other 2 users should be cancelled. SO if all the users accept , only then task will proceed to the next step.How can I proceed with this?

Hi Champ, I need to upload a file from my local system and process the same in Appian. For the time being I am hardcoding my local system folder dierctory where I am picking my file ; but in real time that will by dynamic for instance user download file directory.

For giving more context. suppose when I am saving a file in PDF, it ask me for the download location which by dafault select it from the user download location. I want to get that location in RPA task from the user download loaction which is saved in their environment variable or somewhere else. Regards, Shyam

Is it possible to add/update Chrome Options while using Cucumber for Appian? Having an example will be very helpful.

Hello there,  I have been overall enjoying the Cucumber for Appian framework however it has severe limitations and some design decisions that I wish to change.  First of all I do not agree with the decision to place the Tear Down inside of the actual example steps. This is not good best practice as it means if you exit a test for whatever reason before the test finishes the chrome driver will not tear down. Instead this should have been put in the @after within the test running class. Can I still tear down in the @after? How would I go about calling the actual tear down method, I am fairly good with Java but I am not a developer and the code is very complicated.  My second question is that I need the ability to at times pass random values as fields for the my steps. For example our project involves "duplicate checks" and without being able to dynamically generate these fields I am stuck having to edit the test script each time. I know it's technically pos

Hi, I'm using v22.4 of Cucumber for Appian and am trying to make sense of the following entry in the CheatSheet.feature file: # Used as relative datetime for date/time fields: Given I set start datetime Is there a way to dynamically set the date and then use as input in dd/mm/yyyy string format? I'm struggling to find any good documentation on this. Thanks, Paul

I've raised these issues to Appian in a support email, and no response was returned, and I have not seen any improvement in the problem in the year since. I've spotted two major issues with the Appian automation framework, which are just lousy coding and must be resolved. Problem 1: The Tear Down Method Currently Appian introduces the teardown method as a step in your feature file. This is a problem for two reasons.  1. Ending the test execution early will never reach the teardown method. 2. A test that fails before it reaches the teardown method will not be adequately torn down. Impact: When you do not tear down the Chrome or Ghecko driver, you have two major issues, one minor annoyance and the other more significant. First, the browser will not close. If you run the test ten times, you will have ten browsers open. This alone may not be a big deal since you can close them, but the bigger problem is that the Chrome driver instance will still be alive in your processe

Hi, Appian licensing model state that Appian RPA cost is included in base price, but in all the documentation it states that 'This content applies solely to Appian RPA, which must be purchased separately from the Appian base platform.' What does this mean? Regards, Neha
