I'm encountering an issue when trying to access a cloud database URL from Appian. The full URL I'm using is:
dev.abc.us-east-2.123.aws/.../index.php
However, when I copy and paste this into a new browser tab, the URL gets truncated and only loads as:
Interestingly, I’m not facing this issue with another table from the same schema—its URL works as expected.
Has anyone experienced something similar? Could this be related to how Appian encodes or renders the link? Any suggestions on how to preserve the full query string when opening the link?
Thanks in advance!

I have no assumption that the Cloud DB in an Appian Cloud instance is accessable from a plaintext URL outside of clicking the official "Cloud Database" link from the 9 Dots menu in Designer.
Appian clearly does some crafty behind-the-scenes session verification to ensure that only proper users in a current login session get access to PhpMyAdmin (the software front-end we see in the DB management console), as evidenced by the fact that it stops working until you open a completely new session if you leave it until it times out.
Now, if you copy/paste some URLs when you're in a current session, SOME things MIGHT work, but again, there is no assumption that anything other than in-page navigation is officially supported in any sense.
