First post. Thanks for your attention. I am working through the Appian developer course online, and I've run into problems with the exercises. I will write the code to mirror the solution, and the tests still fail. This happened for a few of the exercises. My most recent problem is not a failed test; I'm working on the exercise to accompany Expressions: Enhance Your Data. I'm trying to create an expression rule, and a Rule Inputs pane doesn't open. I'm not sure how to continue with the exercise. Has anyone else had this problem? Do I have an old version of the designer? Any advice would be appreciate. Thanks

Here are my record types: Why am I getting the following error message when I try the expression out? Expression evaluation error at function a!queryRecordType [line 5]: The field [recordType!SS Item.relationships.ssLookupCategoryItem.fields.categoryId] used as a sort field was invalid. You must reference the field from the related record type in "relationship". This query works fine when in the Cloud Database area/*select * from SS_LOOKUP_CATEGORY_ITEM, SS_ITEM,SS_CATEGORY where SS_LOOKUP_CATEGORY_ITEM.ITEM_ID=SS_ITEM.ID AND SS_LOOKUP_CATEGORY_ITEM.CATEGORY_ID=SS_CATEGORY.ID*/

We're trying to implement an eTag to reduce query time to a remote API.  They've provided support on their end and are generating an ETag,  a subsequent GET by us, with an ETag header doesn't seem to generate the response I'd hoped, and  before I go back to the vendor, I wondered if there was something tricky in the way the quotes need to be created around the ETag string?

Hello, everyone!I'm trying to make an interface where you can select two dropdowns and attach a file, all these components are in another interface and I'm calling it into another interface (Main interface). In the main interface I have three buttons, one in special has to duplicate the child interface that I mentioned before, I achieved to duplicated the child interface, but when I select an option on the different dropdowns, all the interfaces duplicated are deleted. Both interfaces have a rule input, but Interface Designer shows me an error if I select array option on the rule input, this happens in any of the interfaces. a!localVariables( local!prefijo: {'type!{urn:com:appian:types:EMI}EMI_SUBIR_ARCHIVOS_DATA'()}, local!dataLenght: 0, { rule!EMI_banner("Captura y EnvÃ%ADo"), rule!EMI_TituloReutilizable("Analista Independiente"), a!forEach( items: local!prefijo, expression: rule!EMI_BoxReutilizableAnalistaIndependiente(local!prefijo), ),

Hi Experts, What all point need to be taken into consideration while Moving Application from version 17.1 to 21.4. What all are the pre-requisite on the admin console side as well as at object level.

Hi Experts, I have implemented readOnly grid with RecordType as a datasource. Search options was only working for the the columns which I have configured in the gridField, so for search to filter on all the columns I have added all the columns of the cdt/table as gridField column with showWhen as false. Will it be having any impact of performance? I tried to lookinto the performance matrix of the UI but in both the cases performance is almost identical. Q: Question that I have up in my mind is weather the performance will get deteriorated with the increase in amount of data pulled through record or will it behave as it is ? Q: Since all the data is already coming through record , showing it in grid will have considerable impact on performance or not ?
