When creating an interface (Appian 7.10), we can now define the input variables

When creating an interface (Appian 7.10), we can now define the input variables as their actual CDT instead of using Any Type. The problem I'm seeing is if you update the CDT, the CDT in the input parameter is not updated when you run impact analysis. Is there a way to update the parameter definitions without opening up every interface to do it? Is it better to just stick with Any Type?

Unfortunately, neither worked. I think I'll put a ticket in with Appian

When you update the definition of the CDT, either in the GUI or by importing a new CDT, you go into the gear menu in the top-right portion of the CDT editor and select "Check Outdated Dependents".

Hi simples, after deleting then importing an updated CDT in Data Management, click on the CDT name to open it up. In the upper right next to the Save button there's a menu (the "gear") where you can choose "Check Outdated Dependents". If you have any dependent objects, it will tell you how many and give you an "Update All" button. If something doesn't update, there's an error log that you can look at. I've attached a couple of screen shots. Does that answer your question?

Thank you so much Iorib, i tried 'Check Outdated Dependents' but in my case its not showing all dependencies and so all are not getting updated. I am not getting any log file too.

We've had cases where an interface file didn't get updated, but now before we make CDT updates, everyone closes out the files they are working on until the updates are done. Since we've been doing that, we haven't had any problems.
