I have an expression rule that returns a value based on rule inputs. When I run this rule as it own passing my test inputs, it gets the data I expect (an integer or 0).  But when I run the rule in process model B, I get null as output even though my expression rule has no condition returning null.  This is the expression rule with inputs and it's output Below is how I set up activity class of the script task inputs, I then saved it into a process variable pv!autoCaseTye in the outputs.  However I only receive null as output instead of 50. The node that runs the rule has the exact same inputs and data type. It should return the same value as expression rule. How do I check the issue?

I am using Appian 24.3.  I saw Appian has AI test case generation feature and I want to take a try,  What I expected: What I actually got: Is there any setting I missed?

With CDT, we can use @Version annotation for optimistic locking. Optimistic locking is a concurrency control mechanism in which it ensures that concurrent transactions will not conflict with each other. If there is a chance of conflict during transactions, the transaction having an older version number will be aborted. Can we achieve a similar thing using Records?

I have a table with a legacy identifier and a current identifier. I want to query the table, by first check the current identifier for a match, then fall back to the legacy one. Is there a good way to do this with Appian queries? I cant really do what i want with or and and logical expressions.

i just have a general question about this statement in the documentation, "By default Appian runs with 3 shards each of the execution and analytics engines. The maximum number of shards for each of these engines is 32. Because they store unique data, once you have added a new shard for execution and analytics, you cannot remove that shard from your configuration."  Does this mean one engine can have between 3 to 32 shards? 1 : 3 ... 1: 32. Thank you.

I have an process model , getting ids and looping via batch vise. Im npt getting a error or data is not updating the same process model is showing in the Health Check Report that {<PROCESS MODEL NAME>tGet list of caseIds scheduled to process- (11 nodes in loop)}

I need help creating a process model to evaluate and batch update the status of a large group of users (30,000+ records) based on detailed criteria. The workflow logic is as follows, with any identifying info removed: User Status Evaluation Process Initial Conditions If either of the following conditions is true: There is an entry in a related table where the status is not equal to "denied", OR A specific approval flag is set to true. Then: No further action is needed for this record — it can be skipped. Handling Rejected Entries If an entry exists in the related table but its status is equal to "denied": Check if there is another flag indicating confirmation of a related process or action. No Entry and No Approval If no entry exists in the related table and the specific approval flag is false: First, check if a secondary task or decision exists with a status of "approved." If no approved secondary task or decision exists, check for th

Hi everyone, I'm facing issue while saving unique identifier value into a local variable. By default indexes are getting saved but I want to save the identifier value so that even if custom filters are applied only the actual selected value is checked/selected in the grid. The working approach I came up till now is to convert my data into a datasubset using a!dataSubset and then use todatasubset with fv!pagingInfo from the grid. The issue which I found with this is todatasubset function is not able to over ride the paging configured by a!dataSubset, it could very well be an Appian issue not sure but due to this I'm getting full grid data in the screen. (Screenshot attached for this below) If you know any workaround for this or any approach you implemented for this use case please share!

Hi, I am evaluating Appian  OOTB capabilities for Document extraction. We have Trained an AI skill, used it in a process model, reconciled it, etc. But what is not written or documented anywhere is how is Appian doing this behind the scenes. I am trying to understand if a client is using Appian Cloud, where does the Model run does it use the same infrastructure, if yes then how does this affect the memory/cpu power (Models are generally cpu hungry is what i understand). So by introducing an AI skill to an existing model how does it affect the runtime performance of the process model, the memory consumption. Do we need to consider any upgrades in the Appian engine before using AI Skills.

Hi everyone, I have this specific use case: I have to extract data from a pdf document using AI Skills. The pdf document has the structure of a table, with multiple rows. So the problem is, when setting up the AI Skill, when I want to label the fields, I can only select one of the rows. I want to extract the same field, say "email", for all the rows in my pdf table. Still haven't found a way to label repeating fields inside a document. Any workaround or help is much appreciated, thank you.
