Another function in Appian to specifically support your use case is this:

Hi Mike, thanks a lot for the answer. Now that the data is saved as map which gives more flexibility to extract it as well. Appreciated for your efforts.

Please reference the attached sample application (23.1 export fyi) which successfully reproduces the individual-assignment-by-group-membership, and writes each individual user's text input (as well as their username and a timestamp) into an individual Map entry and appends it all to a list of map stored as a PV. After import and prior to running, you'll need to add one or more assignees to the "GMAT Assignees" group.

You would need to save the form data in the Data Outputs tab in a way that can actually handle arrays. Your ACP would need to be single, whereas the PV it saves into would need to be Multiple. Then you should save the current instance's value, either appending it into the list, or saving it at a specific location in the array (assuming that works).

Hi Mike, thanks for the suggestion. I have already tried with this. Please refer the below screenshots.

In the ACP

Data in PV after 1st Instance

In second Task, I put these details

After submitting the data,

I have made it multiple but still the data is not populated and it's replaced by new data.

Usually how if a task need to assigned to multiple users and collect their feedback how it is done. Is there any other way of doing this.

Thanks

Is the task set to save to an array? I believe you need to do this (and handle it with unusual care) to get the result you desire.

I suspect what's happening instead is that you're saving the data into a singular PV, and if that PV is also set as the value for the ACP in the data inputs tab, then the next person to load their instance of the task would automatically see the value completed by the prior user.

This is incorrect. The configuration noted here specifically will launch an individual task instance for each user of the group.

To debug the issue, try assigning the task to individual user, put both the user names in assignment and see what happens.

Hi Naresh, while doing this only the latest data of user is getting stored. I have made the variable as multiple as well.

kumark4975 — Wed, 08 Mar 2023 04:07:35 GMT

Hi Abhay, yes it is pointing to group. This task needs to completed by each user.

Try this, In your user input configuration don't map the process variables for value in data inputs. Also, in your MNI configuration change the radio button option to move each time an instance finishes.

cons!PS_TEST_GROUP -> is it pointing to group ? If yes then it will be assigned to group not to individual members.

May be try this way take process variable multiple values. save each user input values in index wise.

Hi Abhay, In the second screenshot attached I have checked the box for the one to one assignment. I hope you're referring this only. But still when one user fills the form with some data, for the other user the data filled by him is displayed.

In the above screen shot, I submitted the task by one user. When other user opened the task he is already seeing data filled by other user.

Could you please suggest on this?

For this particular use case the Assignment should be one to one for each instance. Since both the users are member of group they are able to see the task.
