Docx From Dynamic Template

Steps to generate template.txt

New Document.docx

Hi Ram,

I was able to generate the document dynamically.

However, if I want to add a new column in the template, it behaves as if it is adding but when run it tries to pull the value from another column and display here.

Eg:- The columns in the template are name, dob, address

I want to add a new column called "interest". 

I opened the template and copy one of the columns and rename d.@dob (or) d.@address to d.@interest.

When I run the template, interest is always replaced with value of dob (or) address (from where it is copied)

I tried multiple ways but not able to avoid it.

Should we add a column in a specific way to the template? Please suggest.

Hi Phanibabu,

                       Since you had copied and create this interest column, the field will refer the actual column from where it was copied. Please follow the below steps to change the field reference in the template.

1. Right Click on the new field(d.@interest) which you had created and click on edit field.

2.Change the Field name under the Field Properties tab to ${d.@interest} and Click on OK.

Update the new template in Appian and try, the new field value should refer to correct data .

Thanks,
