Let me give you an idea of how this works.
You have a Task Report which is getting all the tasks of a user. You need to open that report and edit it. Add a new column Task ID (tp!id) and then save it. After that you'll start seeing it in QueryProcessAnalytics. Once it is visible there, you need to add a link on the column where you will pass the respective Task ID of that particular row in a!processTaskLink(). Once you do it all, you will be able to see a functioning link.

According to the code in IZPL_TaskReport, the field name is possibly "barcode" or "id"?

a!localVariables(
  local!pagingInfo: a!pagingInfo(startIndex: 1, batchSize: 25),

Everytime I try opening IZPFL_TaskGridColumn in the Appian designer to view the code, this error immediately pops up. This is surely related to my problem, but I'm not sure why this problem occurs even after I've created a brand new application.

Also paste the code inside the rule IZPFL_TaskGridColumn

RE: Users unable to click on task description to view task details..

Harshit Bumb (Appyzie) — Fri, 29 Nov 2019 13:27:56 GMT

What is the field name in which you are retrieving the Task ID? Ex. c1,c2,c3 ?

Can you please show the code you are using for displaying grid?

RE: Users unable to click on task description to view task details..

Pauly — Fri, 29 Nov 2019 13:05:13 GMT

Can you please provide a summary of how I can manually add the links on the text? Sorry, I'm still learning Appian.

RE: Users unable to click on task description to view task details..

Harshit Bumb (Appyzie) — Fri, 29 Nov 2019 13:01:23 GMT

In that case. You can manually add the links on the text. Its not a tough task.

RE: Users unable to click on task description to view task details..

Pauly — Fri, 29 Nov 2019 12:56:34 GMT

Yes, I am sure. Every new task, including the tasks I've assigned to myself, has this same problem.

RE: Users unable to click on task description to view task details..

Harshit Bumb (Appyzie) — Fri, 29 Nov 2019 12:39:28 GMT

Are you sure that the task assigned is still active and not expired or completed ?
