Hello all, I'm trying to create 2 dropdowns where the 1st dropdown will show the unique manufacturer brands from this table. I managed to do it, but the 2nd dropdown is to get the motorcycle models based on the selected manufacturer. The catch is I need to only make a single query. What I did is I created a query rule then saved it to a local variable. On the 1st dropdown, I used union function to get the unique manufacturers from the local variable containing the query. However, I'm having a hard time on the 2nd dropdown.

Hello, I am trying to incorporate a milestone report that links to different tasks in a process model: a!milestoneField( links: { a!processTaskLink( label: "Tasks in progress", task: 536875568 ), a!processTaskLink( label: "Tasks in progress", task: 3808 ) My problem is that the task report ID changes every time the process is run. Is there a way to query my process report for the dynamic task ID? Thanks,

Hi, We have a requirement to write over 50 000 rows daily to our MariaDB database. I want to know what is the best way to get this done. We tried using a Record Type but the data was too large for it to handle and a breaker cancelled the synchronisation. I have seen that creating Multiple node instances is not recommended as we will create an excessive connexion pool with the DB. The only solution that comes to mind is to have a subprocess that gets fed smaller batches (100 or 1000 rows) looping through the data for insertion (sequential).

I am having trouble figuring out how to add events to the calendar template utility that I've added to my application. I'd like to be able to add events directly from the calendar interface if possible. The process model has already been created, I'm just not sure how to go about actually implementing the functionality.

Hello, thanks for stopping by to help.I have a common issue: A read-only grid isn't refreshing after the user performs one specific record action (all other record actions do refresh the grid). The process completes correctly, but the user is forced to refresh manually to see the generated data. Here are the steps I've taken so far: First, I have set the read-only grid to refreshAfter: "RECORD_ACTION". The data queries a recordType, though I did also try using data from a local variable with the same refreshAfter settings to resolve this issue, but no luck. Next, I have enabled activity chaining on all nodes on the relevant process model. For the record, the record action opens in a dialog box and just revolves around a simple form that the user has to fill out. I am sorry if the screenshot is too small, but you may have made out the final subProcess node there. This is a synchronous subprocess, and it has the "Enable Activity Chaining into all initial nodes in

I am trying to import the calendar template plugin to my application as I would like to use the calendar component in an interface. However when I try to import the zip file, it is only importing the CT application and a couple of the folders but nothing else. I ran an inspection and got the above result. In the import log I am getting the reason for the error as "User Does Not Have Rights to Perform this Operation (APNX-1-4071-007)". How would I go about fixing these issues and importing the entire package?

Hello, me and a colleague are trying to make a database where we have a table called "students" and one called "subjects", meaning many students can take many subjects. We've been researching for a bit and the way explained in the Appian Documentation is the one explained here, it says create both the parents and child CDTs, then create a third table where you have: a primary key, a foreign key that corresponds to the first table, a foreign key that corresponds to the second table, and an index. The problem is that by doing so, you can add duplicates of each, meaning that the same student can be assigned to the same subject twice (this screenshot is the Intermediary record type): (I made 3 record types, Subjects, Students and Intermediary). That's why I wanted to ask all of you for any suggestions so that this table does not take duplicates, or if there's anything that we are doing wrong. Thank you!
