Hi Kalpenp, could you let me know the version on which you are working

7.3

The getDocumentsFromFolder() plugin function only retrieves the document, If you want to differentiate between folder and files, your best bet is to extend the code to fit your purpose.

@kalpenp, Hope I understood you correctly, You need to proceed with a work around in your scenario where the UI might be compromised a bit. What you could do for this is, you can have a button below/ beside each folder you are showing, and on-click of this button you can fetch the contents (documents/ folders) and show it in a separate section below/beside the folder with a dynamic name such as "Contents from xyz". This could be achieved if you build a rule which does all these stuff and there after call it in a repetitive fashion. Let me know if you have any concerns.

Thank you for your comments.
@sikhivahans - Isn't it possible to achieve this without using the button. Simply browse the folder like we do in suite/designer? If it is not possible, I guess the workaround you said should work for me. I will try to implement that. Thanks again.

You should be able to do this using a!dynamicLink which is a feature of Appian 7.4. You need to create a section that is populated with dynamic component made up of dynamicLink and Link field. The dynamic link will be created for folder whilst the link will be the link to the document.
Having said that, you still need a function to return all the folders within a folder. Hope this helps.

@kalpenp, The work around will work for sure. You could let me know any issues if you go for implementation. It isn't possible in the 7.3 without a button as you know the limitations of 7.3, (as specified by sathya.srinivasan, many of these are overcome by 7.4).

Thanks Sathya and sikhivahans. As I will be using 7.3 I has to go with the button.
