Hi, form is not getting opened and displays the below error: Error Evaluating UI ExpressionExpression evaluation error [evaluation ID = 74a54:998fd] in rule 'fpl_frm_etmf_upload_doc_readonly' at function a!forEach [line 427]: Error in a!forEach() expression during iteration 3: Expression evaluation error at function rule!DMD_UT_FormatDate [line 443]: Could not cast from Time to Date.

Details: CastInvalid The  rule!DMD_UT_FormatDate is having the formation as  if(isnull(ri!dtDate),ri!dtDate,text(ri!dtDate,"dd-mmm-yyyy")) The parameter dtDate is a date field. Could someone tell me why user is getting this error. Thanks Faisal

I am new to this concepts, please explain?

Currently building out a Usage Metrics dashboard which uses a plugin to read the Records Usage log. In the "Filters" field returned from said log, it records searches which are typed into picker fields but NOT searches typed into the search box on the grid.  For example, when I'm searching a gridField populated by a!recordData sourcing from a synced Record Type, using the OOTB gridField search box, nothing is recorded in the Records Usage log. Nor does it record any application of user filters.  When I am using a pickerFieldRecords sourcing from the same synced Record Type, only then are my search or filter values recorded in the log.  Effectively, nothing is recorded in Filters when applied to the Record Type-backed grid; this seems like an error -- that only searches/filters applied via picker field would be saved. Everything I read in Appian documentation led me to believe that the above data points would be saved under Action = "Reco

Hi Community , I had started to do a project where the use case is without using the rule input I have to get the data and write it in the database. As a start I created all the basic steps of creating the record type and generating the record actions where as an result automatically process model and interface are created.  I tried to map the record type fields via local variable in the interface such that when I moved over to the process model I can't able to write up the data in the database . In general I wanted to publish a portal such that when I tried to add pages ( Interface ) , a error occurs like rule inputs variable can't be used , So I started to prepare the above use case and to solve it. So kindly guys help me out with proper steps to handle over interface and process model. Thanks in advance..!

Im trying to set specific format for Start Time Column at the process report and data does not show when i set the format.

So we have a portal where the entire interface is in a!formLayout. Within the formLayout is a section that contains a billboard. We want the header to span the entire width of the page, but billboards don't do that, they have a margin on the right and left side. I know a!headerContentLayout allows the billboard to stretch the entire width of the page - so I figured I'd change the interface to a!headerContentLayout, put the billboard in the 'header' parameter, and the a!formLayout in the contents array. But a!headerContentLayout does not support a!formLayout as shown in this error I receive: The contents contain a component that is not supported in the header content layout. Received: FormLayout  Is there a way to make the billboard/header stretch the full width of the screen in this situation? Thanks for any help!

We are trying to get an excel document from a SQL Query and we are getting the following error:  Export SQL To Excel An error occurred in executing an Activity Class. We tried to rewrite the SQL sentences using quotes but it keeps failing the same way. SQL Sentence: SELECT `ORDER_BY` AS `EMPLEADO`, `PLATO`, `IS_PAN` AS `PAN`FROM `SL_ORDERS` INNER JOIN `SL_LUNCH` ON `SL_ORDERS`.`LUNCH_ID`=`SL_LUNCH`.`ID`WHERE `SL_ORDERS`.`ID` IN ('1', '2') AND `SL_ORDERS`.`DIA_SEMANA`='1'We know the problem is from the SQL sentence because if we put a typical Select * table without anything else works, so everything else is fine in the input section.

Hi, my problem is that I can export correctly the entity and download as Excel file but when I open the file only appear the data of father CDT but not the rest of the nested CDT. This is the code of my grid: a!localVariables( local!autoridad:null, /*local!selectedAudiencia: ri!audiencia,*/ local!startIndex: a!refreshVariable( value: 1, refreshOnVarChange: {ri!selection,ri!autoridad, ri!motivo, ri!empleo, ri!ejercito, ri!situacion, ri!audiencia} ), local!pageSize: 10, local!sort: { a!sortInfo( field: "id", ascending: false() ) }, local!pagingInfo: a!pagingInfo( startIndex: local!startIndex, batchSize: local!pageSize, sort: local!sort ), local!selection: ri!selection, local!data: a!refreshVariable( value: rule!AU_ER_getAudienciasByFilter( autoridad: ri!autoridad, motivo: ri!motivo, empleo: ri!empleo, ejercito: ri!ejercito, situacion: ri!situacion, nombre: ri!nombre, pagingInfo:

Hi All, I made a new channel in IDP, submitted training documents for specific type. But even after many hours, IDP did not got trained to auto classify my documents. Neither I got any error email. I did this multiple times with different training documents, but every time IDP just shows a message that docs are submitted for training, and I will get an email once they are trained. But I never get any email about that. I just want to ask, is the feature to train documents for auto-classification even available for Appian community edition users? Note: This question was asked about a year ago and did not get any answer yet.

I need some help to create an expression rule to check if my given time is within the range. For example, my process model will start running today at 6PM then should stop running at 5AM the next day. Now I need to create a validation where it returns true/false to check if the execution time is still within the range. Hope anyone could help me. Thank you.

Hello everyone, I wanted to share a little advice with you, and hopefully, maybe Appian will also take note and resolve what an abysmal design decision is.Problem Statement:Appian has created the teardown method as a step that runs in the feature file. This is a terrible design. The reason it's a bad design is that the teardown method is what closes the browser and also kills the background Chrome/Firefox driver process. Since it's being invoked as a feature step, this means that if your test fails, the teardown step/method will not be reached. In addition, if you end a test early, it will not be called. The implication of this is that you end up with lots of browsers you have to close manually, and even worse, every time it happens, you have a driver process running in your PC/Mac background, and the more times you do it, the more they add up, eating away at your memory until you have to reboot your PC/Mac. I will show a screenshot of the step I am referring to.  Sol

I need the ability to sort an array of a Record Type similar to how for an array of dictionaries or CDTs you can use a!dataSubset() with the correct paging info.  I tried that with an array of record type and with the correct paging info using the record syntax.  It did not error out when called like todatasubset().  It just returned exactly what I passed in. Requerying the the database using a!queryRecordType() is not an option.  Until a form is submitted, I have to continue manipulating what's in local variables.  Because of the sheer size of the input fields and the quantities of fields, I can not use either a!gridField() or a!gridLayout().  I am looping through using a!forEach() in a card layout.  Removing and re-inserting back into the array is what I am doing for certain user sort functionality.  But, it's more efficient to then resort for all the remainder sub and sub-sub elements in the array. I prefer not having to cast

I have a grid with dynamic column names and static columns. Ex :  Here EmpSub's will varies on each instance.Need the word document format to get the dynamic columns syntax in word document.

Hey Everyone,Not a technical issue just a question about the folder sizes in Appian. When I'm looking at folder I can see it has a size of 48.2 GB. But when I open it to see what is inside of it there are only a few items, where the size doesn't reach anywhere close to the stated 48.2 GB.
