Constant fetching value even after deletion.

Amit Mishra over 8 years ago

I observed a strange behavior in Appian 16.2,
A constant value is reflecting in one interface whereas I have deleted that constant permanently few days ago. I re-verified and that constant was nowhere in the environment. Also, I tried creating a new constant with same name and it was not showing any error like “Name already exists” which is surprising. Once new constant with same name created then the new value reflected in the interface.
Is this an Appian bug? or, Why is it happening?

You can check this link: forum.appian.com/.../Expression_Rules.html
It mentions this:
"Deleting an expression rule prevents users from further viewing or editing it. However, the last version of the rule is still available to be used in processes, record views, and reports"

Similarly for constants from documentation:
"Deleting a constant prevents users from further viewing or editing it. However, the last version of the constant is still available to be used in processes, record views, and reports."
