Hi Team, Validation should be triggered if the user enters two consecutive dots in the text field. How can we handle this?

Sorry if I'm missing something obvious/another tread on this topic, but I haven't been able to find anything related after digging for a while and banging my head against the wall on this. Is there a way to natively pass variables into an integrations relative path?  The goal is to have some user input field for that variable to pass through to the external endpoint, who's required format is along the lines of:  base_path / relative_path / {variable} / relative_path2 I'm looking to avoid as much custom code as possible, but any help/advice would be appreciated!

Hi everyone, I have a use case where a due date will be the 2nd Wednesday of the next month of given month and year. 

I am trying to make a field unique by following these instructions - (source : 24.3 24.3 Case Mgmt Studio (CMS) Common Customization and Configuration Guidance) How can I navigate to the db table corresponding to CMGT_Agency? These are the options I see in source settings.  

In Case Management Studio, the due date utilities, objects and interfaces are dependent on the SLA field that is configured when creating a case type.  For my use case, I would like a user entered due date(from data intake form) to be set as due date( and connect to the calendar interface, show overdue message etc). What is the best way to achieve this? Similarly, I would like a user entered "Assignee" to be saved and used instead of the default field.

But if I select one row after other it doesn't create a problem.Attaching the code snippet for reference: Any help in this regard will be appreciated.

Could you please give us the best approach to do this task and what is your suggestions to achieve such these requests putting in your consideration that the interface is a combination of multiple interfaces each interface has its own rule inputs while some interfaces retrieve the data from web service and the others from record type in deferent representations and formats like grids, labels and so on

Hello, I have a use case where a read-only grid displays a list of projects, with one column showing statuses such as Complete, Cancelled, Design, etc. I want to enable users to click on the status, which should then display a dropdown containing all available statuses. The user should be able to select a new status, and the update should be saved to the database accordingly. Requirements: Clicking on the status field should open a dropdown with all status options. Once a new status is selected, it should be immediately updated in the database.

We have four user roles: Admin, Manager, Supervisor, and Agent. The Agent performs certain actions that are accessible to all three higher roles (Supervisor, Manager, and Admin). The Supervisor performs some actions that should be accessible only to the Manager and Admin. The Manager performs specific actions that only the Admin should have access to. The Admin can perform exclusive actions that no other role can access.How to configure security?

Hi Appian Community - I am new to Appian and excited to use it for my use cases.  I have searched in documentations and didn't find anything related to configuration management aspect of design what I meant is - if I am creating one application it will expose some feature flags, some configuration placeholders for end user customization. what is Appian recommendation, do you have any patterns with examples which newcomers can use as a reference?  What are do and don't in that area? Also, base vs overrides configurations client wise - if your app is being used by multiple clients. Please provide guidance.

Hi! Has anyone implemented an interface with a similar visual style? A grid field with rows and the rows have an icon that when you click expands a section. I could be wrong, but I think Appian doesn't currently have an out-of-the-box component/layout for this, hence I'm trying to find a workaround.  I am looking for ideas on how I can at least mimic a fraction of this style in Appian.
