Is it possible to update the expiry time of an Appian task dynamically every time it is accessed? The initial expiry time should be set to 1 hour when the task is triggered, and the expiry time should reset to 1 hour every time the task screen is accessed?
I expect a smart service kind of a function to update the expiry time of a existing task which can help in the scenario. Your suggestions please.

What exactly do you mean with "expiry time"?
I think he is referring to an exception timer.
I don't think it's possible to do this since you can't update any PVs if the user only accesses the task. I'm also not aware of any functions that allow you to get tje last access/view date of a task.
I think the same, but I want to avoid to start the "guessing-game".
IMHO this feels like a weird use case. In my applications, there are no optional tasks. A task is assigned by some business logic and it needs to completed.
For this kind of optional activities, I would not use Appian tasks for. Why not implement this as a pure UI? Then you can react on the user clicking to see the "task".
