Great tip, thank you! The "console.log()" of Appian as it were.

You have to start with the innermost rule or interface, and backtrack from there by passing each input that will give you the desired output. In this way you will be able to understand the code better and reduce chance of undesired behaviours.

You can also have a paragraph field and pass the rule input or local variable to it value to see the data that is being passed.

While doing this, make sure to update the descriptions of the rule inputs, so that it can readable and maintainable.

Hi francoh7128

Good Day!

To get or view the value of the rule inputs/Local Variables we don't have any direct way. I would suggest to display the locals/rule inputs by using text field /rich text display field inside the same section. By this way you can see the values that needs to be used for testing purpose.
