Hello everyone, I have an expression rule where i am querying the record type and after querying i need to apply certain condition to further filter the data. And in the Interface, I stored this rule in the local variable. If I pass the local variable to a grid Field data in the read only grid. It's throwing me this error. I tried recordData(), but after querying the record, I need to apply certain condition to further filter the data.Is it possible to use local variables inside the record type.

While i am practicing , i created a record type and when i am trying to generate record event types , i am getting an error " You must have edit access to at least one of the applications this record type is in to generate event record types ". Please suggest here, because i am the application creator , still i am getting the error.

I have the following code snippet from an interface expression that is not updating the refresh variables. I have confirmed that local!refresh updates on record action as it is supposed to, but I cannot get local!selected_tasks or local!expired_tasks. I have tried multiple different configurations of the refresh parameters inside a!refreshVariable() as you can see from all the commented out portions, but none of them seem to work. I removed all of the record type references in the code, but I assure you they are there in my actual expression. Any insight would be greatly appreciated.local!refresh: a!refreshVariable( value: rand(), refreshAfter: "RECORD_ACTION" ), local!selected_process_ids: if( a!isNotNullOrEmpty(ri!clientSignOffProcess), ri!clientSignOffProcess[], null() ), local!selected_workflow: ri!clientSignOffProcess[], local!selected_tasks: a!refreshVariable( value: a!queryRecordType( recordType: , fields: { }, filters: {

This may be an odd request, but can I call deployments api v2 in the lowest environment (dev) to get the export log files associated with a package? I ask because in Admin->Infrastructure, we have enabled incoming and outgoing external deployments only for our 'next' environment (SIT), and adding new environment doesn't allow self-reference. My connected system seems to be failing and suspect that enable incoming / outgoing is only set for 'SIT' environment. The motivation for the ask is to grab the export logs of a package at the dev level to load in unexported precedents for further processing. Thanks for any insight, Eric Casteel

I'm trying to install an instance of Appian on Kubernetes into my cloud infrastructure.  I am runninging into an issue where the Zookeeper pod is running but the Kafka Pod is not.

Hello. In one of our projects, we need to download the files sent by clients through WhatsApp in order to perform a series of internal checks. We have reviewed some applications available in the marketplace and found the following: WhatsApp Business Connected System: Doesn't allow downloading files from WhatsApp. Symphony Connected System: In theory, it does support this functionality. However, we haven’t been able to test it yet, as it also requires a Symphony license. Has anyone here had experience using Symphony Connected System? Do you know of any other application that allows downloading files from WhatsApp, or any alternative approach you would recommend for this type of integration? Thank you very much in advance for your help. Best regards

Hi. We need more precise information regarding advice and best practices for doing a rollback / reverting a direct deploy. We intend to do a big deploy which restructures a lot of tables, processes, rule expressions and interfaces. We want to have a rollback plan if anything goes wrong, but i dont find any option in the deploy panel for rollbacks or reverts.any info is welcomed.

I'm planning to run a nightly process that will see if any new application has been created for the past 24 hours, and then send notification with some instructions to the person who created the new application.  is there a way to detect these new application containers? any plug-in I can utilize?  We self manage Appian on Kubernetes, so we have access to logs and Appian metadata. 

Hello,  I have a simple form with 2 textboxes and a read-only grid. Text Boxes are "required" Grid is selectable and set to "selectionRequired :true" Submit button is set to "validate: true" Issue: 1) When the from is initially displayed and i click Submit button, the "required" validation works only for textboxes and after entering inputs into textboxes, i am able to submit the form. The required validation does not work on the grid. 2) however, if I select a row in grid and unselect it and then click submit, the "required" validation works and message is displayed. not sure if I am doing something wrong or if this is Appian bug.  Please let me know if anyone else faced this issue.

I have a requirement where I want to export data from excel to PDF is there any plugin that we can use or there is any alternative way we can try

I have a process variable of type RecordType in processes. Now I want to read the data in an expression rule. The output now returns fields with the names c1, c2, c3, c4, ... My data from RecordType is in c4. Can I filter the data directly with a!queryProcessAnalytics via a!query? For example, only the data records that were created in a specific country? Expression Rule: a!queryProcessAnalytics(    report: cons!PGN_REPORT,    contextProcessModels: cons!PGN_PROCESS_MODEL,    query: a!query(        filter: a!queryFilter(field: "c4"[country], operator: "=", value: "UK"),        pagingInfo: a!pagingInfo(startIndex: 1, batchSize: - 1)    )) In my example, I realize that “c4”[country] does not work, but what do I need to write for this?

i have a dropdown list with values as links which are to be opened upon selection in a new tab?

I hope this message finds you well. I would like to log the event of an interface being opened. However, my understanding is that on the interface itself, unless an action such as clicking a button occurs, it is not possible to write a record or start a process model. When consulting ChatGPT, I received the following idea: Create a Web API on Appian that returns an image as the response and simultaneously saves a log. Place an image on the target interface and set the endpoint of the Web API created in (1) as the image source. As a result, when the interface is opened, the Web API in (1) is called, and the log is recorded. However, it seems that the function a!writeToDataStoreEntity does not get triggered inside the Web API. I have two questions and would appreciate your advice: What should I review to implement the above ChatGPT idea successfully? Are there alternative methods to log when an interface is opened? Thank you in advance for your kind advice.

Hello guys,I wanted to ask if there is any way in appian to execute a process if no action was taken after a certain period of time.My scenario is very simple. I do have a process model that updates the task status to completed through a script task, save the changes with write records and sends an email notification afterwards.What I am trying to achieve is changing the status to completed if no action/button click is taken in lets say a couple of days. 

I have created a new appian account and emailed community.appian.com from the new account to transfer the certifications to new account as my old account was deactivated. How may days will it take to transfer it new account. Could you please help me here.

Where can I find a detailed log for RPA? How can I find details about a specific bot that ran?  Thank you.

Hi there Appian community, I am on step 6 of updating the layout and configuring components on the step by step #8. For this step we must select correct values under display value (ex: for Make, select ri!record.make.) however, as highlighted in the picture, there is no option for that and when I type it manually, nothing populates. Any advice?/resized-image/__size/640x480/__key/communityserver-discussions-components-files/62/Screenshot-2025_2D00_09_2D00_30-at-11.10.55_2F20_AM.png 

I passed this exam today. How do I prove it? I don't see it anywhere in my appian account. Also, it was proctored by ProctorU and all their site says is that I took the test. No indication of the result. I passes with an 83.3% score
