We are seeing a strange issue in which write to record is not working properly. If we check the process variable value, it is successfully updated, but when we look at the database, the latest data is not being updated, no expression error is generated, and this is an intermittent issue. As per this thread we updated to latest version https://community.appian.com/discussions/f/data/39426/data-fabric---write-to-child-records-via-relationship, still we see same issue. Anyone knows the reason?

I am running some processing in parallel that includes api calls.The result with then populate an interface attended by a user. I have tried both a!forEach and MNI but for both the performance is not as expected. By looking at the performance tab in the expression rule, it is clear that the items in the array are running sequentially and not in parallel, as the total time for the expression rule is the sum of every iteration. As a test I tried to put only a GET api call in the foreach loop and the result is the same. This is not what I was expecting, is there anything that can be done to enforce the threads to run in parallel to optimize the performance?

Record Type details not showing after  click on View Record List

The description tooltip is not visible when hovering on the Record action icon. Although I was aware it was there, now unable to see this tooltip on icon.

Hi FolksJust sharing the experience!When writing to child record via write record, there was no error on process model, but it was still not writing to DB. Then we realized the issue was because of two reason which we did not pay attention 1. We need to make sure the record object is updated o latest version means below pop should not be visible 2. On the model switch to latest version of smart service.

Hi All, Below is one of the issue we are facing it an intermittent issue.

Hi all,  Is there any way that we can implement a copilot that will answer about our record data? For ex: it should be like a chat bot and it should be in the record summary page, if we ask about the details of the record summary, it should provide the answer. Can anyone please help me in implementing this ?Thanks in advance!!

I have an open support case for this, but hoping to see a working example of add/edit/delete rows using GridPlus asap. Attached is my attempt, but I'm seeing an error (I won't share here, that's in a separate thread). I'm hoping someone can package and share a working example (they don't necessarily need to debug mine) where they can add/edit/delete rows and submit changes.

Initially, I considered using deployment packages to track changes. However, I noticed that once changes are pushed from UAT to Production, the environments become synchronized. As a result, all objects appeared in the deployment package; however, the ones that were initially modified before being pushed to Production are no longer listed as 'modified.' This makes it difficult to track the specific changes made during that deployment.I'm looking for a reliable approach to maintain visibility into code changes with each deployment. Has anyone found a good solution or best practice for this scenario?

Background: I created some groups in my app and added my account to them. The app has a site that’s visible to all users, but one page within the site is only visible to specific groups. Questions: 1.When visiting this site, how can I switch between groups to test access? 2.I assume I can change my group by clicking this button (the first one in the screenshot). However, the groups I created aren’t listed here. How can I add them to this list? Additional Info: This issue occurred during the "Build an Application: Step-by-Step" hands-on practice. >When I set the visibility of the [My Task] page in the site to "Always show", I can access the [My Task] page. >But when I set its visibility to "Only visible to specific groups" (the intended setting), the [My Task] page doesn’t appear when I visit the site. Additionally, groups from other apps are shown in the button’s list, but my created groups (W1481SA Registers/Mechanics/S

Hi Team I have a scenario, where when the user clicks on an action that says "Update Information", then the dialog presents a list of more actions that the user can take. Now the problem is, when I click on the action within the existing action dialog, a new dialog opens up as expected, however, the old action dialog still stays. Is it possible to close the old action dialog box?

I need to include cookies in the header of the next Appian integration call, along with a Bearer token. However, the integration result only returns a single cookie, even though the actual HTTP response contains three Set-Cookie headers. In the process model, there's no way to access the full HTTP response (such as ac!httpResponse) to retrieve all three cookies. How can we extract all cookies from the response for use in subsequent integration calls?

Hi Everyone, I am trying to understand how the internal messaging service and Kafka Zookeeper work in Appian .I am trying to figure out what impact it would have if Kafka goes down on one of the nodes in a 3 node cluster due to storage issues or some other reason. One thing I can guess is that the application's performance might decrease, and writes to the data service could also be impacted. Are there any other potential issues that could arise? Thanks                                                           Udhaya

  Hi team I want to access values in a dictionary without using a loop, because in real-time we have 440 rows, and each row has 150 columns. Running a loop over each row to get values is causing performance issues. I checked the Appian Community and found that we can use the a!keys() function to extract all keys Id (PK), PartNumber, Status, Country_1, Country_2, Country_3, ..., Country_150We are using CDT to get data from DB so output of CDT in dictionary format.Expected output: countries: { {country_1, country_2, country_3, ..., country_150}----for 1 st row {country_1, country_2, country_3, ..., country_150}-----for 2nd row } *** One way i found is writing index on all 150 columns  but it will increase code length  is ther other alternative way other than this
