Hi All,

I am creating a smart service. The smart service has a input of type Folder.
The user can browse and select a folder as input parameter. I want to restrict the user to be able to browse folders from a particular root folder only.
Specifically, I want the user to be able to browse the folders from the Rules/Constants root-hierarchy only.
How can I implement this? I have gone through the Appian's Java API but could not find anything relevant.
Let me know if anyone has implemented such functionality.
The relevant code in my Smart Service is as follows:
          @Input(required = Required.ALWAYS)
          @Name("parentFolder")
          @FolderDataType
          public void setParentFolder(Long val){
                    this.parentFolder = val;
          }

It sounds like you're implementing the same functionality as the out-of-the-box folder picker: forum.appian.com/.../SAIL_Components.html
The folder picker allows you to pass in a root folder in the "folderFilter" parameter and select a folder from within that root folder only.
Appian doesn't normally show you the ID of rules and constants folders, but a work-around is to add the relevant rules and constants folder to an application and export it, then open the .zip file and open contents to see the uuid. Then run getcontentdetailsbyuuid() on the uuid to get the folder ID.
