I do not understand your question. What would a user input task help?

But I assume that this is what you are looking for: docs.appian.com/.../Process_Model_Recipes.html

Which one is the thing to set nodes? user input task?

RE: how to find all documents belong to certain folder?

You cannot just add inputs and expect this to work!!!

This node can only delete a single file. To delete multiple you need to execute the node multiple times.

Did you set the process variable deletefile to be a multiple in the model?

RE: how to find all documents belong to certain folder?

immortalvirgil — Fri, 03 Dec 2021 09:14:27 GMT

local!deletefile shows are multiple, but once get into processModel it changes to be single always, though i set property values and others to multiple

Do you have a code snippet which shows how you delete the files?

RE: how to find all documents belong to certain folder?

immortalvirgil — Fri, 03 Dec 2021 09:10:34 GMT

what i create is a file upload interface, when it come in it already shows what and how many documents in that folder,

i want it could be delete with click on that files, if i just click one, then it deleted successfully, if i try to click two or more files, it just delete the first file i choose, the second or above just keep retaining at there.

I do not understand your question!

Do you know where to set in order to let it delete multiple documents at once?

RE: how to find all documents belong to certain folder?

Stefan Helzle — Thu, 02 Dec 2021 08:23:38 GMT

You cannot show existing files in a folder inside a fileUploadField.

But you can add a list following this pattern: docs.appian.com/.../document-list-pattern.html

Do you know how to let the folder's existed files already shows up once come to the fileupload interface? The previous problems solved.

I can neither see your screen, nor your code, nor do I know what you want to achieve, what you tried, what failed or anything that enables me to give you an answer.

I tried to explain this to you already a few times. It is that simple: No details -> No answer!

how to get folderId? why each time refresh the interface the folderId return differently?

RE: how to find all documents belong to certain folder?

As a!deleteDocument can only delete a single document, you will need to create a process to delete multiple documents.

Documents in Appian are referenced by their ID either in a variable of type Integer or of type Document.
