Now, when the user is trying to save a text fields data, I would like to compare text fields data with a recordType fields/columns.. Can someone advise on how to compare user enter data in a text field with a recordType or Read only grid column. If user is trying to enter same data, I would like to return a validation message.

Hello All,  how to print this pattern * * * * * * * * * * * * * * *

Hi team,  I am learning IDP (https://academy.appian.com/#/online-courses/7efa16db-521d-4d4d-9eda-f7114869b548) and at the document : IDP Add New Document Channel Exercise. I am trying to build it on my Appian Community account. I am able to Add the channel (page 6) - "Finance" but when I move to page 8 trying to see the Groups created - they aren't. Looks like this is not happening   I got 4 emails with the following error I tried seeing a bit more into the process model that is failing This was created back in Jul-2021 by community-admin. I am not sure where's the issue or don't want to play around. Can someone from Appian team fix this please. thanks jaideep 

I have a data-driven interface... An array of some data is passed to the interface, a foreach loop renders controls on the screen (including a drop-down list) based on the input data. The problem I see is the control focus is lost whenever a value is selected from a drop-down list.  There are two "flavors" of this issue.  First, if I use the mouse to select a value from the drop-down, the control focus (which should be on the drop-down) seems to revert to the top of the page.  Pressing <tab> focuses on controls at the top of the page.  Second, if I use the keyboard, arrow down to the choice, then press <tab> to select the value and move to the next control, the control focuses on the next control for an instant then it goes away.  Pressing <tab> at this point places the focus on the drop-down control I just used.  Third, if I use the keyboard and press enter to select the drop-down item, it behaves as if I were using the mouse..

 Hello everyone, I am facing this while trying to display group members in an interface within Appian. when we open any group, a specific grid is displayed which shows the members' names, user IDs, and membership types. I am trying to replicate this same grid inside an interface in Appian, but without storing the values. I have a constant that stores all the groups using a multiple dropdowns. When I select any group, I want the members present inside that group to be displayed in a grid along with their details such as membership type and their user ID. However, I am unable to achieve this and would like to request your assistance in resolving this issue. Please let me know if you require any additional information or if any specific configuration needs to be done to display the group members in the desired manner. Thank you for your time and assistance.

Hello everyone, When a process model sends out email notifications to everyone it is configured to send said notifications to, is there a way to configure the address it comes from?

So, I have a record action to delete a "contractor" from a list of contractors I've created with a record type. After deletion is complete, it displays this: Ideally, I'd like it to display something else, like: "Contractor successfully removed", or "Contractor successfully deleted." Is that something that's possible? This message is displayed on a site that a read-only grid is displayed on.

It is my understanding that the "Appian" way is writing state-full applications - where the processes model instances hold the state of the application.  The main drawback is of course that being state-full means vertical scalability only. However, given current state of the horse power provided by standard hosting and the nature of Appian application  this is a non issue.  However being state-full means that long lived running processes cannot easily be upgraded in order to introduce new functionality. Reading the documentation, I am aware about an upgrade process which requires developing per upgrade plug-in which needs to be submitted and approved by APPIAN. Development of such a plug-in requires Java and Appian internals know-how, as well as locally deployed instance. This is of course beyond the rich of an average Appian developers. What is your stance  ?
