How can I remove the 'X' close button of the dialog.

I had to explain this to a junior just last week

The x is only available on a start form in a process. If you want to remove it you'll need to convert the start form to a user input node as a few meantioned here already.

I'll add some details that might be interesting:

1. Clicking the x does not initiate a process instance in the monitoring view

2. Because of point 1 the time to complete the action after pressing x is very quick no process overhead (vs. pressing a submit button on screen)

3. the refreshAfter: “RECORD_ACTION” will not refresh if you click on the x vs clicking on a submit button

Pretty sure it's changing it from a start form to a user input task.

The "x" only appears on the Start Form if my memory serves me right.

Only thing to be careful is that once you get to a User Input Task, the process won't terminate by itself so you need to put some form of exception to make sure it eventually terminates.

Just for my (and others') future clarity on this issue, can you describe what exactly you found / what worked for you?

I'm fuzzy on how it works, but in my experience the "X" close icon only appears under certain conditions. I think it will show up when the first form of a related action is a Start Form, but will not show up under some other circumstances (like the first form being a user input task instead, and perhaps also depending on whether that task is set up as a Quick Task or not).

As far as I can tell this behavior is not really explained (or even addressed at all) in the Appian documentation, though if I'm wrong I hope someone will link me to the relevant article. I just checked the general Record Actions doc page to confirm that I'm rembering correctly - there's no mention of the dialog close button there.

no dialog screen cannot be made using UIT. I was saying , if you are creating a record action then you can configure excepction in your user input task in the process. this way you can manage your process instances.

Hi, does the mentioned UIT means User Input Tasks?

Can a dialog screen be made by UIT?

Hi, I dont think we have any way to remove that . but you can add exception in your UIT as a workaround.
