Hi team,    I have written a expression rule to update a particular row of a record. The Expression rule is working as expected while unit testing but does not work when called in Script task.Could someone please help?

Well, there is the reference of a!cardChoiceField. https://docs.appian.com/suite/help/25.1/card-choices-component.html The component itself is amazing. However it has one big defect, which is: you cannot (at least easily) change its card's background color. I would like to be able to keep the interface's background color on its default (as it is), and change the choice card background color to gray, black, blue, etc. So only, the card choice should get the customization. I've searched a lot and I didn't find any hint or previous usage on this. Does anyone have any idea in mind on what to do about it? I would like like this to be possible and if it's not, it should be implemented on a next version of the component. This is for UX/UI purposes.  Thank you in advance for any hints on this.

Hello dear Appianistes,  I have a gap between how my app reacts in development tools (build) and in the site, Site : After using AJOUTER button : Builder : After using AJOUTER button : Any guesses ?  buttons: a!buttonLayout( primaryButtons: { a!buttonWidget( label: if(ri!isUpdate, "Enregistrer", "Ajouter"), saveInto: { /*sous-periode*/ a!forEach( items: local!sous_periode, expression: { a!save( ri!sous_periode[fv!index]['recordType!{77c00203-ec59-4d91-815a-0f6334649b51}alan_r_sous_periode.fields.{38d14ae2-8fd9-40ee-a277-dbc90afc6266}dateDebut'], local!sous_periode[fv!index]["deb"] ), a!save( ri!sous_periode[fv!index]['recordType!{77c00203-ec59-4d91-815a-0f6334649b51}alan_r_sous_periode.fields.{368c8cd0-aeff-4d35-b85f-e83787ea7fa8}dateFin'], local!sous_period

I used if() to check the condition in Value() parameter of dropdown which is working fine from front end, but the value is not saved when i use the same logic in SaveInto() parameter of dropdown. Logic used in Value() parameter:  if( and( ri!eventType = cons!INS_INT_EVENT_TYPE_ID_ANZ_ARREARS, ri!policyNo = cons!INS_TXT_MULTIPLE ), "Contact Centre Outbound", if( and( ri!eventType = cons!INS_INT_EVENT_TYPE_ID_ANZ_ARREARS, ri!policyNo = cons!INS_TXT_SINGLE ), "Contact Centre Inbound", index(ri!application, "incomingSource", null) ), ) Logic used in SaveInto() parameter:  { if( and( ri!eventType = cons!INS_INT_EVENT_TYPE_ID_ANZ_ARREARS, ri!policyNo = cons!INS_TXT_MULTIPLE ), a!save( ri!application.incomingSource, "Contact Centre Outbound" ), if( and( ri!eventType = cons!INS_INT_EVENT_TYPE_ID_ANZ_ARREARS, ri!policyNo = cons!INS_TXT_SINGLE ), a!save( ri!application.incomingSource, "Contact Centre Inbound" ), ri!application.incoming

Hi Appian Community, Please be informed that we are using 23.2 Appian Version locally hosted On Premise Environment and under Build->New option we don't have an "AI Skill" option so currently it's not possible to create AI Skill for Documentation Extraction.  1) Is the Arabic Language able to be extracted by Appian's AI Skill from Arabic documents when I use Appian AI Skill object after training the model? 2) Is there any workaround to enable Appian's AI Skill in development On Premise Environment? 3) Do we need to manually install any AI Skill in Appian installation folders to enable AI Skill option in On-Premises Environment? 4) If i enable Google Cloud Document AI, will this work for other than English languages like Arabic words extractions including Arabic numbers? 5) How to tract extraction accuracy if i use Google Cloud Document AI, because i know if its Appian AI Skill then it will give automatically give accuracy

The following: IMHO, the low code security row should be dynamically converted to a security expression whenever I switch to it and vice-versa. It would save a lot of time. By the way, is it really possible to apply such a security rule into a security expression?  If so, how could I convert this into a security expression? Thanks.

Hello Everyone, We allow users to enter the amounts in the editable grid using the textbox component. (saving these values in the CDT decimal field) And displaying the total amount and validating the total column against other values. Values entered are : 430603.1013871.55117011.6523402.33 Would like to know why the sum function is not giving the value with the correct precision.   And also to calculate the sum with correct precision, do we need to use Fixed?

Hey,I am exploring some thing new in Appain functions,Supose if user enter 1+2+3+4+5 in a text box then is there any function to evaluate this and give me the sum of all those numbers as 15.Thanks in advance.

We have tables we want to create record types from but the tables can have millions of records in them and we only need to filter for certain rows. We're trying to find a way to filter the rows we need in the sync filters but there's a lot of limits on what we can use in the Sync Filters expression. Appian doesn't seem to allow rules or constants but we were able to make use of a!executeStoredProcedureForQuery() to call an SP which would specify the records we want to filter for, as per below: a!localVariables( local!totalCount: tointeger( tostring( index( a!flatten( index( a!executeStoredProcedureForQuery( dataSource: "jdbc/Appian", procedureName: "SND_getPksTotalCountToFilter", timeout: 30, inputs: { a!storedProcedureInput(name: "p_workflow", value: null) } ), "results", null ) ),

Tried using the Log Reader Plugin but it does not read logs from all servers. Any suggestion is appreciated. Thanks 

Hi everyone, I need to build a team dashboard for managers and directors, where the team data is stored in a single record type. This data includes fields like username, personal number, manager's personal number, and email ID. I’m currently passing the email ID to fetch the personal number of a user, and then using that personal number to find the manager's personal number in order to get a list of employees under that manager. This process is repeated for up to five levels, as directors report to managers and each manager can have multiple employees under them. However, after implementing this approach, the performance of the UI has slowed down significantly. Can anyone suggest a more efficient alternative to improve the performance while maintaining the same functionality?  Below is the code for your reference.

Hi Appian Community, we have one application for which development is completed and planning to migrate it to new UAT instances,  Already have created many records configuring data source in admin console by name like "jdbc/ApnDev001" have plan to create new data source with the name of "jdbc/Appname" in new UAT instance,  while doing to observed that we need to change data source for existing records causing field UUID get changed, and this leads to huge changes at application level wherever we have used these records. Is there any way we could fix this issue (rename or create new data source) without major changes. any form of guidance would be welcomed, Please help.     Thanks,  Shree Krishna tiwari

Hi All,We have an application which will receive various details from an external system including primary keys for documents which are used for retrieving documents from another system. We receive these details via an API and a task is created for the user to process the same. When the task is being processed by the user, the external system might update the data again which includes adding or removing documents. Since the task is opened by the user, he will never know whether some update has happened to the task or not. We thought of using some refresh variable but it does not seem to be a viable solution. Also it might lead to performance issues since the number of users and number of tasks will be high. Is there any way to handle real time updates and show them in UI?? Any suggestions would be helpful

1. Synchronous Start Process - Here, documentation says, we get the output of the process variable from child process to the parent process. 2. Activity chaining in Sync start process - Here the documentation says, Chaining through a synchronous Start Process node means the original process will wait for other process to complete before continuing. Any activity chaining in the started process is not connected to the original process, so a broken chain will not return process variables to the original process. process variable will be returned to the parent process or not?. Please clarify 3. start synchronous process using start process vs sub-process As per this, if the parent child relationship isn't followed, how we are able to get the output variable as mentioned in point 1 documentation? If the Activity chaining in the parent and child are independent, why does the parent process waits for the child to complete? As per point 2, it s

In new 24.4 we have Synchronous and Asynchronous option for Start Process smart service . Then what's the difference between Subprocess Synchronous and Asynchronous things ?
