Use Case: A form as 10 fields out of which 4 are auto filled when a user lands on the page (auto filled fields are: 1. create date , 2. modified date, 3.created by and 4.modified by), rest 6 fields requires users input. When user saves the form by clicking on save button the system is giving the message as it is saved. However, it doesn't save the data to the DB. While manual debugging when the user modifies the auto-filled fields and then clicks on save button then all the data in 10 fields are saving to DB. I am not sure what is missing. I followed this tutorial to create this form -https://docs.appian.com/suite/help/21.3/Records_Tutorial.html For autofill of 4 fields I have used following functions: 1. create date: local!storedValue:now() 2. modified date: local!storedValue:now() 3.created by: loggedInUser() 4.modified by: loggedInUser() Can someone help in fixing this issue? Thanks!

Given an array of integers nums and an integer target, return indices of the two numbers such that they add up to target. You may assume that each input would have exactly one solution, and you may not use the same element twice. You can return the answer in any order.   Example 1: Input: nums = [2,7,11,15], target = 9 Output: [0,1] Explanation: Because nums[0] + nums[1] == 9, we return [0, 1].

Hello all, We have a requirement to provide the user with the option to set recurrence mail timings from the UI. For each request the user creates, there should be a section where they could select a start and end date and different times. From the start till the end date, a mail is expected to be triggered on the selected time. For example, when a request is created, if user selects start date as today and end date as today()+5, and if the user specifies the times as 8:00, 13:00 and 16:00, then for 5 days, the user is expected to receive mails on these 3 time slots. What would be the best approach to do this in Appian? Thanks in advance

Hello everyone! I had created a record type who gets data from a process model. Inside that I want the date to be shown as feed-style record list. But with the last updated Appian version, the  =a!list does not work anymore.  It does not work when I call the record rf!record, also does not work when I call the record  rv!record as the documentation suggested. The only way that I can manage is to query data with a!queryRecordType.  Since I query data into an expression first, there it shows correctly: 21 different items. Meanwhile the record who use the same expression, shows only the first item, 21 times.  Any suggestions how to fix it? Or does exist another way to create a!listViewItem in the latest Appian Version? Thanks in advance

Hi, We have a requirement to implement the stripe hosted checkout for our application. To get a callback from the stripe once the checkout session has completed, We have created a webapi in appian and provided the endpoint in the stripe's webhook dashboard so that once the checkout session is completed Appian webapi is called. It seems like we cannot pass the API key for the appian webapi as a header when the stripe invokes the appian webapi so the authentication doesnot happen. The webapi works fine when triggered with Postman.  Is there any way we can resolve this issue?
