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?

It should be gone from the moment the last process that references it gets archived. If new processes that reference it get made before the old ones are archived, it could persist indefinitely. Once all instances of processes that refer to it are gone, it should be removed from Appian's cache. Fortunately for me, this is also true of subprocess models.
