Hi All, I have a form which is a related action, inside of this form I also have a a!recordActionField , the user must fill out some information before they can proceed with submitting the new form. My Issue is that after the related action  is completed the main form does not get refreshed showing that no data is missing. I'm using the rule inputs for my list of validations. Any recommendations ?

Hi, We are trying to upload some files in an Interface inside a User Input Task, we already know that submitUploadedFiles doesn´t work in an Interface inside a User Input Task as mentioned in https://community.appian.com/discussions/f/user-interface/31235/unable-to-use-a-submituploadedfiles-in-site, so we have been struggling trying to achieve this use case.Just for clarification The User Input Task is in a process model used in a Site page We are using the User Input Task because it was the option we found to share some variables between a couple of interfaces inside the process model We are really new to Appian, so probably there are better ways to do these kind of things Here some info Site/resized-image/__size/640x480/__key/communityserver-components-multipleuploadfilemanager/13f642af_2D00_f604_2D00_496a_2D00_9560_2D00_775427969df6-283275-complete/pastedimage1745529911878v2.png Process model /resized-image/__size/640x480/__key/communityserver-components-multipleuploadfile

I'm a senior application designer and developer with educated skills on classical Windows client-server applications. Honestly, I just started my learning path in Appian. Our use case: We have a well developed and stable running legacy application that uses a MS SQL Server 2019 as database backend. We want to "migrate" some business processes covered by the legacy app to Appian (cloud) as a showcase and proof of concept for our customers (at the first step no productive environment). The Appian application should use the data from the existing SQL Server database on our demo server. I already created a "Connected System" object that successfully connects to our SQL Server via JDBC. For setting this up I was using the SQL Server data source type and the JDBC connection string:jdbc:sqlserver://<our server public ip>:1433;databasename=<our database name>. The user and password properties are set to a valid SQL Server login that owns the target sche

I'm trying to build a reusable expression rule that queries a RecordType in Appian. I want to pass the fields dynamically via rule inputs to control which fields are selected during the query.

I have an editable grid where data is prepopulated. I m using pagination to show 15 rows per page. I m using the sort in the pagination to sort based on one field. If I select any rows from first page and then navigates to second page and select one row. After navigating to first page sorting gets disabled. And the values I selected are showing sequentially from the top. How can I prevent the sort to be stable

Hi, We have the following requirement and would appreciate the community's support to suggest the best practice for achieving the same. Business Requirement : A process for loan is triggered in a branch (CRM system) where all the customer and loan related details are collected and then submitted to another department(Credit department) in the bank. All the UI and process related to branch is implemented in CRM, whereas credit department UI is implemented in Appian(review of submitted application happens in credit department). if any discrepancies are found in the application, credit department can send the application back to branch(CRM) and once corrected flow will continue in Appian. This return to branch/ different roles within the branch can happen multiple times at various points during credit department review Suggestion required on below approaches: Approach 1: In traditional BPM systems, we create a Dummy task in BPM to indicate the external system task(CRM), once this tas

I have a button on an interface that is used to start Process using a!startProcess in the background. Now I want the values of the field to be retained. Once the process the completed, all the local variables are refreshed to empty or null values. How do I retain these values. For other fields I am using ri! but for a particular values that I am having operations on in the interace I am bound to use local variable here. Am I missing something here? I tried using rule inputs, but the usecase requires me use a local variable here. Also tried saving this to an ri! and onSuccess saving back to local! but that didn't help. Any help or direction that I should be looking towards to solve this?

I want to assign a task to another user, and Appian sends an email to notify them. I'd like to configure the email to add a specific body. Do you know if this is possible? As far as I know, it's not, so I've unchecked the "Notify task assignees of the new task via email and mobile push notifications, if applicable" option and then added a smart email sending service. I'd like to do this in the same user input task. Thanks in advance.

Are there any plug-ins available to run the given commands on the Appian server level?A little background on the requirement, we are maintaining an on-premise Appian instance and whenever we need to un-archive processes we need admin's help in executing the necessary commands on the server level.We are thinking of automating that , for that we are checking, if there are any plug-in's available which can execute the user given commands on the server level. Thanks in Advance.

I have an issue I'm stuck on. We have this value writing to the DB for this column: And here it is after the Write to Records node: Does -2137483649 mean anything in the crazy world of data? I tried searching it but didn't return anything useful.

Facing below issue while trying to enable SSO. I have filled out the SAML form with all the required information. When I am testing the configuration, I am receiving error message as below.  FYI, IdP is Azure Ad.

Hello Community, We’re currently designing a bi-directional integration between Appian and multiple external distributed systems — including CRM, KIOSK, and MOBILE channels. We're evaluating two architectural approaches and would appreciate your insights, especially around Appian events, correlation IDs, and event-based routing strategies. Approach 1: Task-ID Based Integration In this model: When Appian creates a task (e.g., KYC Review), it exposes the task ID to an external system (such as CRM). The external system then uses this ID to call back into Appian to complete the task. Approach 2: Event-Driven Integration with Correlation ID (Using Appian Events) In this preferred model: A correlation ID (UUID) is generated at the beginning of the interaction and shared between Appian and the external system. This correlation ID is used consistently throughout the lifecycle of the end-to-end process across all systems. Appian does not expose any internal task or

hello I'm on 25.1 and I have the below Use Case: I need to display on a read-only grid a short list (5 or 10 items at least) of last opened Record of a given Record Type. basically I need to store on a table the interactions over a Record List (every time a user clicks on a Record Link) in order to display the "last opened records" as a table I was thinking on replacing the Record Link with a startProcessLink which stores this transaction on a table (recordId, user, timestamp) and then open the Record Summary as a task, but this has several disadvantages: - the record page has several tabs (summary, attachments, other related data ....) which might requires additional effort to refactor - transforming the record interaction into processes might have performance issues any thoughts/suggestion about how to deal with this? thanks
