I have configured a start node that with a receive message trigger that essentially captured information from an email. I have configured all the proper fields but I the "Attachments" field does not seem to work. Documentation has not been particularly helpful in this case.  I have a PV of type Integer that can also handle multiples and the following is mapped to that PV: property(msg!properties, "Attachments", null) When I send an email to the process using its UUID, it captures all the fields correctly except for the attachments. Is my configuration incorrect?

Hi all, The title basically describes it. I'd like to be able to apply filters on a list of maps on their key values. For example in the code snippet below, to be able to set filter("name","=",bill) or filter("name", "not null"). Similar to a!queryEntity but for a collection of map instead of a Entity   a!localVariables( local!mapCollection: { a!map(name: "bill"), a!map(name: "bob"), a!map(name: "Jim"), a!map(name: null) } ) Also be able to apply operands like and and or if there are multiple key values in the map collection

Hi, As per my requirement I had to make use of the plug-in called "Twilio" for sending SMS to the users to authenticate them. I also created an account in Console Twilio in order to get the tokens to establish the connection. And I managed to get the URLs of first 4 fields like the Account SID, Authentication Token, API Key SID, API Key Secret.  But I am unable to get the path for the remaining 3 fields which are TwiML App SID, Workspace SID, Chat Service SID. Can anyone help me out how to configure the remaining and from where can I get the URLs of those particular fields. Thanks in advance, Gousi.

Dear community, within our project we have the requirement of full traceability from a work-item in azure devops to the actual code changes. Are there best practices to do that within the Appian environment or possibilies which would allow us for example to force the user to enter a description before he can save an object, automatically export the objects from Appian via a Rest-Api and then commit them in git ?  Thanks, Patrick

Hello All, We are using 1 PM in which we are using the smart service "Execute Stored Procedure", We are having 10K+ data in the staging table and we are using the batching logic to trigger the stored procedure for 1000 batch.

Hi! I have a process model which creates a XLSX file, which I want to convert 1:1 to CSV. But I have 2 problems: 1. The columns don't get separated and are written to the same column, where attributes are separated by commas. 2. For some reason even having only one row in excel, it continues to read until row 95, so I get 95 rows full of commas. Screen:

Hello, I am trying to randomly sample x amount of rows from a CDT by generating x random numbers in the range 1:length(myCdt). The issue I am getting is that some of these random numbers are repeated.  Is there a way to generate random numbers  in a given interval and have them be unique?  Here is what I have so far: local!randomNumbers:if( length(local!query)>15, 1+ tointeger(rand(15) * length(local!query)), local!query, ),

Dear Team, I am experiencing an issue with synced record types while deploying package from dev to Test environment.

Hi Champs, I have a requirement where I have to show the record related action in a link format along with the helptooltip/description (whichever is fine). I am using a!recordActionField to achive the same as I have to open the interface in a pop-up. but in the same component there is no helptooltip available. What is the alternative approach for the same. I need something like this I can see in Appian related action it shows in this format. Not sure how they have  done this.

Well the problem I have is like this, the first is that I do not have access to the database, and the main problem is, I get from this database, data, it turns out that when I get a column with values, they do not respect the numerical order, for example; 1,11,132,145,186,2,22,234,257,3,4. that is an example, it only respects the first digit to the left. Another thing I noticed is that in the db, they use varchars instead of an integer, my question is, if I can not access the database, is it possible to change by means of a filter, or by means of some expression the format? I already tried to call my recordtype, with a cast, but it sends me an error when I do it from my recordlist for filters. for example tointeger(recordtypebdd.fields.values) and I get an error... I hope you can help me.
