Hi there! Say I have several record types that have a postal address.  For each record type, I have to do an advanced search on the address related to the record type I would like to use a rule to create the filter, and use the rule instead of repeating the code each time. But for this to work, it looks like I have to pass each field as a separate input to my rule. a!queryFilter( field: ri!inputFieldCountry, operator: "=", value: ri!searchCriteria.country, ), a!queryFilter( field: ri!inputFieldDistrict, operator: "in", value: ri!searchCriteria.district, ), [...] Is it possible to only pass the *relationship* as input, and then say to Appian to look for the field within that relationship? I don't think it's possible, but sometimes I get surprised by some Appian magic. Here is what I tried, to no avail yet. a!queryFilter( field: ri!relationshipToAddress[{recordfieldCountry}], operator: "=", value: ri!searchCriteria.country, )

I am testing this rule by trying to update my record type. however for some reason it is returning a an integer that is the value that I am trying to update. Any help is apricated ita!localVariables( local!data:a!recordData( recordType: 'recordType!{ccd6b9b1-562c-469f-b3e9-5c14e5166ace}FAM Limited Partnership', filters: a!queryFilter( field: 'recordType!{ccd6b9b1-562c-469f-b3e9-5c14e5166ace}FAM Limited Partnership.fields.{20c3732a-c9e3-4d09-8ece-06beb9f53d90}lpID', operator: "in", value:{118692,101081} ) ), a!update( data: local!data, index: 'recordType!{ccd6b9b1-562c-469f-b3e9-5c14e5166ace}FAM Limited Partnership.fields.{ede49a0e-54ac-4093-ad01-60fb29d13449}agentID', value: 123 ) )

Hi everyone, I have an interface built using a PanelLayout. The left panel contains a sidebar with several navigation links. The right panel displays the selected content (different interfaces). The issue I'm facing is that when I open a page from the sidebar, everything works fine — the new content loads on the right and the sidebar stays visible. However, inside that loaded interface, I have more links (for example, to open details or other sections). When I click one of those links, the page reloads completely and the sidebar disappears. What I want is for those inner links to update the right panel within the same page, keeping the sidebar fixed and visible at all times. Is there a way to handle this navigation within the same interface (e.g. using local variables and conditional visibility), or any best practice for managing nested navigation inside a PanelLayout? Thanks in advance!

We have a requirement to integrate our appian workflow to cafexUI where that UI will get the active taskitems in the form of report and when they open and action any record the relevant taskitem in appian should be closed and the process model should be progressed to next nodes successfully and complete. We need approach and Error handling. We created an API which will call a!Completetask smart service which will complete the task however we have activity chaining in the process model of the task which will reopen the taskitem based on the integration node failure or it will complete when success. we need to know how to handle this?

Hi  I am getting the above error message when trying to open the particular interface in application. As per my requirement for a particular service list of 3 fee details with 4 column value will be generated and in that  i have to show 3 column in 3 row and one column should be single value . My interface configuration is attached below . I am passing all the necessary fields from parent interface yet I am getting the error .a!localVariables( local!feeDetails: ri!feeDetails, local!minimumFee: a!forEach( items: ri!feeDetails, expression: if( and( toboolean( fv!item['recordType!{f6895dd9-7b01-4146-a52e-be727fef79d3}PRC Vmap Service Fee.fields.{be1056cb-8331-4446-8fa4-3081fc64bc73}isactive'] ) = toboolean(true()), tointeger( fv!item['recordType!{f6895dd9-7b01-4146-a52e-be727fef79d3}PRC Vmap Service Fee.fields.{30de7239-941c-401f-ad56-2672421eba71}scenarioId'] ) = tointeger( r

I am encountering a very strange situation in Appian. I have a parent interface that has a choose function determining which child interface to display. Within this choose function there are 5 interfaces. When I attempt to access the parent interface I am presented with the following error.   However when I go into the interfaces listed in the error, I am presented with no error at all. Strangely enough when I remove a different interface in the choose function, not the one listed in the above error, the error vanishes. Within this second interface there is also no error. I would really appreciate some guidance here because it seems like Appian is conjuring an error our of thin air. On top of all that, this error is only present in our test environment and not our dev environment. Below are some additional screenshots. Choose function with all 5 interfaces: Configurations that do not generate the error:  It almost seems like the interaction between the first and last in

I have a folder containing several RAR archives that I need to convert into ZIP format for easier sharing and compatibility. Manually converting each file takes too long. Is there any reliable software or method that supports batch RAR to ZIP conversion on Windows? I’d prefer a tool that maintains file integrity and doesn’t require extraction. Any recommendations or step-by-step guidance would be appreciated.

I have a requirement in Appian.Let's assume I'm logging in from India, so my Appian application time zone is set to IST. However, the requirement is that — regardless of the user's time zone — all date and time values should be displayed in CST on UI How can this be achieved in Appian?

Hi Everyone, I'm faced this error  Query execution was interrupted (max_statement_time exceeded) two days in the model. Process model calls a SP which truncates the table an reset the autoincrement value of the primary key. This models runs twice in a day and this node failed in first run of the day for two days by throwing this error.  I'm aware why this error comes but nothing much to fix in the SP and also table didn't had much rows as well its around 800 rows. It might be DB usage might be high at that time but how i can confirm that from logs please let me know for suggestions. Thanks, Bhargavi P.

Hello everyone, I have an expression rule where i am querying the record type and after querying i need to apply certain condition to further filter the data. And in the Interface, I stored this rule in the local variable. If I pass the local variable to a grid Field data in the read only grid. It's throwing me this error. I tried recordData(), but after querying the record, I need to apply certain condition to further filter the data.Is it possible to use local variables inside the record type.

I have the following code snippet from an interface expression that is not updating the refresh variables. I have confirmed that local!refresh updates on record action as it is supposed to, but I cannot get local!selected_tasks or local!expired_tasks. I have tried multiple different configurations of the refresh parameters inside a!refreshVariable() as you can see from all the commented out portions, but none of them seem to work. I removed all of the record type references in the code, but I assure you they are there in my actual expression. Any insight would be greatly appreciated.local!refresh: a!refreshVariable( value: rand(), refreshAfter: "RECORD_ACTION" ), local!selected_process_ids: if( a!isNotNullOrEmpty(ri!clientSignOffProcess), ri!clientSignOffProcess[], null() ), local!selected_workflow: ri!clientSignOffProcess[], local!selected_tasks: a!refreshVariable( value: a!queryRecordType( recordType: , fields: { }, filters: {

This may be an odd request, but can I call deployments api v2 in the lowest environment (dev) to get the export log files associated with a package? I ask because in Admin->Infrastructure, we have enabled incoming and outgoing external deployments only for our 'next' environment (SIT), and adding new environment doesn't allow self-reference. My connected system seems to be failing and suspect that enable incoming / outgoing is only set for 'SIT' environment. The motivation for the ask is to grab the export logs of a package at the dev level to load in unexported precedents for further processing. Thanks for any insight, Eric Casteel

I'm trying to install an instance of Appian on Kubernetes into my cloud infrastructure.  I am runninging into an issue where the Zookeeper pod is running but the Kafka Pod is not.

Hello. In one of our projects, we need to download the files sent by clients through WhatsApp in order to perform a series of internal checks. We have reviewed some applications available in the marketplace and found the following: WhatsApp Business Connected System: Doesn't allow downloading files from WhatsApp. Symphony Connected System: In theory, it does support this functionality. However, we haven’t been able to test it yet, as it also requires a Symphony license. Has anyone here had experience using Symphony Connected System? Do you know of any other application that allows downloading files from WhatsApp, or any alternative approach you would recommend for this type of integration? Thank you very much in advance for your help. Best regards

Hi. We need more precise information regarding advice and best practices for doing a rollback / reverting a direct deploy.

I'm planning to run a nightly process that will see if any new application has been created for the past 24 hours, and then send notification with some instructions to the person who created the new application.  is there a way to detect these new application containers? any plug-in I can utilize?  We self manage Appian on Kubernetes, so we have access to logs and Appian metadata.
