NO&nbsp;feasibility to create CDT or DS in Community Edition. Record Types are recommended approach even in paid versions now, so you&rsquo;re actually learning the better method!

Everything you need for database operations can be done with Record Types.​​​​​​​​​​​​​​​​</p> <p>Mentioned Restriction Here: Refer Appian Community Edition Product Restrictions to know all restrictions.</p> <p><a href="https://community.appian.com/p/community-edition-guide">community.appian.com/.../community-edition-guide</a></p><div style="clear:both;"></div>
