I have a View in the Appian Cloud database with a column that concatenates some values, lets call it column "CODES". I started in our dev environments creating a CDT from Table/View and verifying the datastore. I then did a distribution to the test environment of the CDT, View and Datastore. While verifying in test environment I get an error that CODES is not a MEDIUMTEXT, it's a LONGTEXT. Not knowing what to do I try to create the CDT in test environment and actually the generated CDT in this environment is different that the one that was generated in dev, even though the database view is the same. Any suggestions on how to solve this issue? The thing is that I don't know in a production environment which datatype Appian will choose, and I don't want to create objects manually in production, I shouldn't even be able to. Thank you!

im executing a process that is returning this i dont understand why there is a comma before the result of the map which is returning errors in other nodes how can i fix this?

Hi All, For any reason I can't imagine, if you run this instruction in a rule; fn!extract("<a>some text</a>","<a>","</a>") you will get {"some text"} as a result, which is what I expected. But if you run this one fn!extract("<p>some text</p>","<p>","</p>") you get nothing as result. Another example of this strange behaviour: fn!extract("<l>some text</l>","<",">") returns {"l","/l"}, which is fine fn!extract("<p>some text</p>","<",">") returns nothing, which is inexplicably to me Any idea on why is that happenning?. I've tested that on Appian v25.1 Regards!

I am currently at the "Configuring Event Records" section, but the "Generate Event Record Types" button is not available for selection. I searched in the help forum, tried all the solutions provided, but none of them worked. This message always appears

We used type! to create local constants in case of CDT, but is there something similar for record types?

Hi Team, I am stuck at one point. If possible, please give your opinion. Requirements: I have a process model with a user interface. First, I started the process model and filled in some data, but I discarded the process, so the current process ended. However, the next time I trigger that process model, it should show the previously filled data, even though it was not stored in any database, as I discarded it in the first instance

Hi Team, Where should we see the additional configurations of the web api we create like rate limit, timeout, payload size limitations, retry threshold etc? Is it modifiable for cloud environment? Along with that, I also have few other questions below:  1. when we expose our data via API, as an additional security, do we have any methods to black list/white list system IPs? 2. what's the good practice regarding rotation of authentication credentials in web api? 3. what is the typical response time for webapi?  Thanks in advance!

Hi Appian Community, Quick question: Is there any way for Appian Gen-AI to tell us how many tokens are used for a particular task, from input to output? I believe there isn’t, but just in case, I wanted to ask. The purpose of this is to analyze token usage so developers can be better informed. Thank you!

TCN is a system used for auto-dialling customers in our use case.  Currently, TCN interfaces are used to auto-dial the customers and record the communications.

Hi there. If I select the “Generate groups and folders to protect and organize objects” option when creating a new Application, what groups are created by default? I think they were “Administrators” and “Users” but I saw in a forum that someone was talking about the “Designers” group being created as well. Is this true?

I need to make a record-like query for a 1 to N relationship, in which it only returns the values ​​of the parent record if all the values ​​in the N relationship meet a condition. Example : I have a record called "Need" and it is related to another called "needchangestate" through a relationship 1 to N, I need it to return only the needs where all the needchangestate meet a condition, if all the elements of the relationship N do not meet the condition, the element Need should not appear Currently it returns me an investment where the condition is met in at least one of the records of the relationship N but this is not what I am looking for.

Hi All I am working on version 24.3! My scenario is, in the SITE provided to the users there is an Active Tasks page where user is shown the tasks as a link. On clicking the link; at the backend we have used a!startProcessLink() to start the appropriate Process Model with the required parameters.  We send a customised mail to user using Send E-mail smart service whenever a task gets assigned to them. The user wants the functionality that in that customised email, a link is provided for the task such that on clicking the link a task gets opened just like it gets opened from the SITE. I understand that a!startProcessLink() actually returns a Reaction Tree which Appian internally reads when we call the a!startProcessLink(). Wanted to check is there a way to handle the same scenario from the email such that on clicking the link in the email; the corresponding process gets started in Appian just like it happens from the SITE. Thanks in advance!!

Hi, I need help understanding why record sync is not occurring when using the "Write to Datastore" smart service in one environment, while the latest data appears in the records in another environment. In the environment where sync is not happening, a manual sync is required to view the latest data. Can someone help me understand the cause of this issue?
