Hi,
I am trying to make use of record type in my application since we have a requirement to display the data in a list and take action for each row or view each row in a dialog box.
My Business case is like i would receive a json file as input to my process model and i am using a CDT to map the fields of the input json. It consists of various segments and each segment is a list of values which is supposed to be displayed in appian interface to the clerk and take action on each segment rows. Kindly suggest an approach so that i can start building my application. As i read through the record type and its example implementation i predict it will meet my requirement. The only hurdle i am facing is when configuring recordtype source if i use process model all the active instances of the process model are getting mapped as list rather i want to have only the particular instance in current context's PV which is having list of records to be formed as list and as data source.Kindly suggest a way.

I suggest to write the data to a database table and build the record on top of that. Storing larger amounts of data in processes should be avoided.
I think the only possible way is to store the parsed JSON value in data base and then use it further, My suggestion is to use database table as a data source for the record type.
we dont have database in appian we may need to try lookin any other appraoch
What do you mean with you not having a database?
Is there a specific reason to repeat my answer without adding any value?
Just trying to share my thoughts. Can we create service backed record to achieve for above?
Sure, but that depends on the source of this mystic JSON data. Maybe someone shares a bit more details about this use case.
