I have a record that when I the value gets updated to NULL the item gets ignore and it does not get updated on the Database

I have a requirement where i am calling external API to get a Binary file in return. Now the issue here is i am unable to convert this document into Base64 string which i need to use the Base64string to pass into another API. I have also build the logic of storing the Base64 string to Appian DB. Just stuck with the conversion part. I can also see that we might have few plug-in functions supported by Appian for this. {'toBase64()','ConvertDocumentToBase64()', 'a!toBase64()'}, unsure if these are accurate or not. However, if these are accurate i will raise this with Appian support team to get these installed, If not can i please have some suggestions on how to proceed with this requirement?

Hi, I am trying to add a more less link on a column in a read only grid. However, it only works if the grid has indexed data and not if it is converted to json. Converting to json is also mandatory as the paging is not working if the grid rows are not converted to json(The data is coming from record type). I already tried the "a!fromjson" function on that specific column but the link is not working.  Is there a way that the more/less link can work even if I convert the grid to json?

Hi,  Does any have idea, how search will work in dropdown. I can see, there is only an option to show or hide a search box. I think it's a default behaviour. Sometimes it works and sometimes it don't work. I'm posting one weird result from search.  Please let me know, if anyone had any idea. 

Hello Everyone, Is there any approach to retrieve a user's last login details without accessing log files? For example, is there a function or method we could use to capture login information when a user accesses a specific link or application? Thanks & Regards, Srikanth.

Hi , I have a set of non printable characters in DB as number and we use char function and concat function to combine in a single string and used strip function to remove it from text. Now the requirement is to replace text with space. I tried substitute function and others which is not working as expected. Please someone guide me herea!localVariables( local!specialCharacterIds: rule!SUF_QueryRecordType_getSpecialCharacters(), local!specialCharacters: joinarray( a!forEach( local!specialCharacterIds, char(fv!item) ), "" ), a!paragraphField( label:"Comment", value:ri!comment, saveInto: { ri!comment, a!save( ri!comment, substitute(save!value,{local!specialCharacters}," ") ) } ) )

As of today, the SpaceX API to be used in the tutorials seems to be no longer available. When configuring the data source:"The Record Data Source returned an error. Title: Connection failed Detail: HTTP/1.1 404 Not Found Message: Could not authenticate with the connected system or connect to the external system at the specified URL" Calling https://api.spacexdata.com/v4 in a browser gives me “not found”. Calling https://spacexdata.com/ in a browser gives me “This site can’t be reached Check if there is a typo in spacexdata.com. DNS_PROBE_FINISHED_NXDOMAIN”.

Hi Team, We have a requirement from the regarding a read-only grid. The grid is sorted first by Meeting Name, and then by Supplier Name. The client expects a visual indicator (like a bottom line or separator) between different suppliers to help users easily identify when the data switches from one supplier to another. For example, after all rows for Supplier A, there should be a highlighted row or separator before rows for Supplier B begin. Is this kind of visual separation possible in Appian grids? Meeting Name Supplier Name Data Meeting A Supplier A 23 Meeting A Supplier A 87       Meeting A Supplier B 56 Meeting A Supplier B 7 Meeting B Supplier A 45 Meeting B Supplier A 456       Meeting B Supplier B 56 Meeting B Supplier B 56

We recently upgraded Appian from version 25.1 to 25.3, performed some testing, and created new objects in the latest version. Now, we want to revert to version 25.1. However, we did not take a backup before the upgrade.Is it possible to restore the previous version without a database backup?When attempting to downgrade to 25.1, we are encountering data synchronization issues during Tomcat startup.As a workaround, can we manually revert individual object changes and delete the newly created objects before downgrading?Please share your suggestions. Your input is much appreciated.

Hello Appian fellows, I would like to explore the possibility of validating data across different tabs. Request is to display multiple tabs, every one of which should open a dedicated subtab group. Let's say I opened the second tab and am currently viewing the first subtab (see image below) . [View:https://ibb.co/PNLMTFY:320:50] My question is, is it possible to validate fields on different subtabs in a way that subtype 2 and subtype 4 have a red underline/red background/red star or any other indicator that there are some required data missing on those subtabs and process cannot continue (Next button would be disabled). Idea is that users don't need to circle through tabs searching for where the missing values are. Thanks!

Dear Support Team, I am trying to schedule my Appian Certified Associate Developer exam, but I encountered the following issue when accessing ProctorU: "This Institution does not permit creating a ProctorU account. Please navigate to your course Learning Management System for scheduling and rescheduling ProctorU reservations." I attempted to register directly on ProctorU, but I was not able to proceed. I understand that scheduling must be done through the Learning Management System, but I am unsure where exactly to do this inside Appian Academy. Could you kindly assist or guide me through the correct steps to schedule the exam? Thank you in advance for your support. Best regards,

Hello, the truth is that the problem I have may sound very strange, but it is something related to Google Maps or the plugin. It happens that the map freezes, here I will leave my code and explain exactly what it does, the first thing is a pickerFieldCustom in which the user will enter an address close to their house and that address calls the Maps API to recommend addresses and then when selecting an address, the service is used to bring the latitude and longitude, it is here that this data is passed to the component that displays the map and where it seems to freeze. a!localVariables( local!data: {}, local!coordenadas, { a!cardLayout( contents: { a!pickerFieldCustom( label: "Direccion de Asistencia", suggestFunction: rule!CT_autocompletarDireccion(address: _), selectedLabels: local!data, value: ri!registroSiniestro.direccionAsistencia, saveInto: { local!data, ri!registroSiniestro.direcci
