We have a dropdown value in the editable grid, and when we click on the add row button in the editable grid we have to get unique values for each row which means already selected value should be removed for next row in the grid dropdown. For your reference below is the first row I selected App Number and I clicked add row , now in the second row dropdown we should not get App number similarly for all rows. a!gridLayout( label: "DropDown", labelPosition: "ABOVE", headerCells: { a!gridLayoutHeaderCell( label: rule!INZ_I18N_displayLabel( i18nData: local!i18nInterfaceData, bundleKey: cons!INZ_CONS_TXT_INTERFACE_COMPONENT_INTERNATIONALIZATION & ".fieldLabelEnglish" ) ), a!gridLayoutHeaderCell( label: rule!INZ_I18N_displayLabel(

Hi every one,  I'm raising a question similar to this post  [mention:a16c4c9385824e0a9ad9e1c5a4c7ea34:46448885d0e64133bbfbf0cd7b0fd6f7:label=How%20to%20make%20other%20users%26%2339%3B%20profile%20information%20%28e.g.%2C%20first%20name%20and%20last%20name%29%20visible%20to%20a%20basic%20user%20on%20a%20report] as it has not been updated since 6 years ago. The issue I'm having is for this below code,when opening the UI with a system admin account I can see full user name while with a basic user account I can only see user's first name.  forEach(local!userNames, user(fv!item, "firstName") & " " & user(fv!item, "lastName")) I tried the retrieveusersecurityrolemap() recommended in the old post but not sure what to do with the output of the function, because for both accounts I had the same output:   Can anyone suggest me how to use this function or any other solution to show the same name for both account types?  Thank you. 

I have read this document https://docs.appian.com/suite/help/25.2/Start_Rule_Tests_Applications_Smart_Service.html.  But I want to know is there any way to only test the unit test of a package? 

Hi every one,  I'm receiving above error when using fileUploadField() to upload around more than 150 documents. I checked and each document I uploaded has size around 322.74 KB only.

Can anyone please tell me how to implement microsoft teams plugin successfully. If there is any document please share the link

Could someone clarify how group syncing works between Active Directory/Entra ID groups and Appian? Specifically, I’m looking for examples of how this integration is structured and what needs to be included in the SAML Assertion/Claims to enable proper group mapping and access control within Appian.

I am extremely new to Appian and looking for some answers. I have searched the forums to no avail. I have created a Site with multiple pages in it, one of them being a Contact Us page. On the Contact Us page, I have been trying to apply the expression link: a!safelink in an attempt to generate emails using our default email server (Outlook) once a person clicks the "Company Team Email" verbiage. Is this something that Appian is capable of doing?  This is my entire expression code: a!headerContentLayout(   header: {     a!cardLayout(       contents: {         a!richTextDisplayField(           labelPosition: "COLLAPSED",           value: {             a!richTextIcon(             &n

I implemented the Google Maps Component Plugin in the Dev and Test environments, and everything worked as expected. However, after deploying to Production, Google Maps is not functioning. Upon inspecting the browser console, I see the following error: Failed to load resource: the server responded with a status of 404 (Not Found) - Googlemap.svg. I’ve checked the server configuration, and it appears to be identical to the other environments. Any idea what could be causing this issue?"

Hi Team, good afternoon! I'm facing an issue that I haven't been able to identify the root cause of, and I’d appreciate your help. Context:I created a subprocess node and configured it to call a specific process when reached. This subprocess expects two mandatory input parameters: A map array A record-type variable X (which should remain the same across all instances) The node is configured with MNI (Multi-Instance) to launch one instance per element in the map array, using Spawn All, running all instances simultaneously, and continuing only after all have completed. The subprocess node is also set to Synchronous. The issue:When the process runs, only the last instance launched by the MNI receives the record-type variable X correctly. All previous instances receive it as null. For example, if three instances are launched, only the third one gets the correct value for variable X; the first two receive null. The vari

O/P - 1 O/P - 2 O/P - 3 When I directly query the comments table with a filter to fetch comments where the audit is null, it returns the expected results(O/P - 1). However, when I apply the same filter in a related record query from the main test table, it does not return any comments(O/P - 2). Interestingly, if I remove the audit filter, the related record query returns the correct data(O/P - 3). Any idea what could be causing this issue?

Hi, I am getting above error while selecting user for task assignment on the interface. a!pickerFieldUsersAndGroups( value: rule!<rulename>( fv!item.Assignee ), Rule code if( rule!APN_isBlank( ri!userOrGroup ), null, if( charat( tostring( ri!userOrGroup ), 1 ) = "[", togroup( ri!userOrGroup ), touser( ri!userOrGroup ) ))

Hi Community, I am using a!recorddata for my readonly grid. record is API backed which has 3.5 million rows of meta data (just 4 columns). I am using pagesize as 50. I have provided filters in UI for users to narrow down their search. Since currently I am only using sample size data , Should I expect any performance issues once 3.5 million data is synced into records? I didn't find any recipes for a!recorddata with pagesize. So also would like to understand how readonly grid interprets and handles pagination just by using pagesize without any limitation on amount of records?

I have created a new robot in Operations Console and the robot is "Online". When I am trying to open this robot, it is throwing error as "ArrayIndexOutOfBoundException". And the Robotic task also cannot execute and says "Robot_Not_Allowed". Why this is happening?

Hi team We're trying to enter data when we are considering software to deploy. We've used the "Remove" function to avoid saving null values to our four filters table. It works just fine if we are looking at a single title, but for multiple titles we can't make it work PROBLEM: When we upload multiple values the pv correctly contains all data for each instance. The task generates the correct number of instances If the assessor chooses "not necessary" on any one task we get an error when trying to complete the subsequent tasks An Error Has Occurred Expression evaluation error [evaluation ID = 4fdbd:bd846] in rule 'sal_fourfilterdetails' (called by rule 'sal_uiaddfourfilters') : An error occurred while executing a save: Expression evaluation error: Cannot update List of Map; using a scalar value to update a list of length (3) The error does not appear when we choose "not necessary" Here's a pic of the interfac

Hi all, I have to implement one requirement as shown below screenshots, I have a button called "add period details" then a form should be will be displayed to user and add the period details. This should be an parent array. In the same form there should be another sub-button called "Add Arm Titles" this should be a nested child CDT. which should be used to add multiple rows and these values need to be stored into database. Also the same way need to have the delete functionality, when user deletes a period details, the child rows "Arm Titles" should also get deleted.   Add Period Details -->Parent (period details) --> Multiple Child (add arm details) can you please help us, how can we achieve this type of implementation, Quick responses on this thread are highly appreciated.   UI Screens

Hi All, We're executing load tests on our testing environment. We notice that during the high peak, simple operations like write or query records take longer to execute (2-4 sec). The CPU memory utilization of the instance is very high too. The records are light weighted and not heavy to take this long. Any ideas as to what might be the cause of this slowness and how to debug this? Regards, Sakshee

Hello, I have a record action which shows "Add comment" and after completing/adding the comment details the record action should get updated to database or record. But it is not refreshing dashboard or interface. Only after page refresh page only it's refreshing but not immediately after the action submission.  a!columnLayout( contents: { a!recordActionField( actions: a!recordActionItem( action: 'recordType!{6d2a7f52-9952-4737-bb95-d3f3a29c06ac}PIMS Project Details.actions.{4e341a40-54be-42c6-ac1e-7e52004c1fca}comment', identifier: ri!projectDetails['recordType!{6d2a7f52-9952-4737-bb95-d3f3a29c06ac}PIMS Project Details.fields.{dedeac6d-7da7-4635-82db-b4816e2daa36}projectId'] ), style: "SIDEBAR_PRIMARY", display: "LABEL" ), }, Thanks, Chiranjeevi

How can I send a Readonly grid data through Email 

There are two button in my form, one is submit another is cancel. I have many validations in my form, but I notice that, the validations are applied to both buttons. I've also tried the validation group, but the behavior is after I click the button the validation will take effect.What I expect is that the verification will be performed after the user has entered the content, and it will only take effect on the submit button. Is this possible in Appian? If the validation group is the only way I can achieve, Is it possible to disable the submit button after the validation triggered?

I have updated the Appian Solutions Plugin to the newest version, but I can still see the latest version listed as the outdated version within Appian Plugins.Can you help me to understand why is that?
