Hi All ,
I have a scenario ,
When Person A opened any record in a record list ,
for selected record ,related action is edit the record
At the same time Person B opened the same record that have chosen by A and
Person B tries to edit the same record then record should be lock ( Because Person A is already editing right ) then there is need to Appear like "Person A is already editing " and could able to edit the record .
How can I accomplish this task ?????
Thanks all in advance

Besides a database solution, described here
https://docs.appian.com/suite/help/21.3/Database_Schema_Best_Practices.html#optimistic-locking
There is no simple approach to this. Reason is, Appian is about implementing business processes in which a task is assigned to people as manual work has to be done.
So my first question is: Do you really need this?
The most simple solution, I am aware of, is to make the first form in the related action a user input task and enable chaining to this node. This means that clicking the related action button starts the process. Then create a process report checking for active instances of this related action. Now use this in the interface to check for any collisions.
There are other solutions which use a database table to store locks. This is a rather complicated approach as you need to make sure that each lock is removed. Depending on the nature of your related action, this can be difficult.
