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.

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!

Hi Everyone I have one subprocess process model which is having 10 nodes  which includes 2 xor gateways ,4 sync record smart service and 4 query database smart service. Complete process is activity chained in parent process we have one ui on click of button this subprocess will execute its should come back to same ui for that we have activity chained complete parent and child process. Now the issue is when we have 3 query database and  3 sync record smart service all works good .We got new requirement to sync one more record that time we have added one more sync smart service that time the process is not working as before.Later in subprocess which is have all sync smart service we just removed 2 xor gateways to decrease the nodes that time its worked properly.What would be the reason for that? Thanks in advance for the people who helps me to understand this .

Hello, We are currently integrating Appian with our SharePoint Online tenant. We created a SPN with delegated permissions in Azure as stated in your documentation (https://docs.appian.com/suite/help/25.1/Integrating_Sharepoint_with_Appian_CS.html).  That integration works fine with Authorization Code authentication (Client ID + Secret) https://docs.appian.com/suite/help/25.1/sharepoint-connected-system.html#sharepoint-authorization-code-authentication but this is not the authentication mechanism we would like to use. Our goal is to use Client Credentials with a certificate: (https://docs.appian.com/suite/help/25.1/sharepoint-connected-system.html#sharepoint-client-credentials-entra-id-authentication) We generated a certificate and got all the requested information: private key in pem format, thumbprint, etc.  The authentication is failing with 401 error: If we change the delegated permissions to application permissions, then it works fine: Our preference is to use delegated

However, I am unable to test the API within Appian as it is giving 404 error while I'm testing it.

In our Appian Site, we have a DummyHomePage interface that contains two sub-interfaces: DummyCustomFilter – used to select filter values DummyEditableGrid – displays the filtered data in a grid When a user selects filter values and clicks the action link in the grid, we navigate to the Record Summary View for the selected solutionId using a!recordLink() or urlForRecord().In the Summary View, we have a Back button that should return to the DummyHomePage while keeping the previously selected filter values.
