Hello everyone. I am new in Appian and am trying to build a web app "Canteen" as part of my learning path.
Couldn't find anything in other posts as I don't know how to search it.
So my issue is the following...
I have a Canteen Menu where each user can select products to add in the cart. On the interface I build a list of
product variations (with a tempId in order to update something since I haven't saved anything on DB). When I press
the "Place Order" button, I want to create a new "Order" with some fields and then get the ID of the created record.
Then I will use the orderId and create the related "Product Variations" from the selected products list.
How can I do this in the process model?

You have created two thread for the same issue - community.appian.com/.../create-process-model-to-create-a-record-type-order-and-multiple-record-types-product-variation
I don't know how that happened... how do I delete it?
You can't delete it. Let's leave it as it is or maybe you can edit it to make it clear that is a duplicate thread, created by mistake.
Answering your question, you can either save the ID of the newly created record from the output tab of the write records smart service and then map it manually in the child records as shown below in the image.
Or you can simply configure the Order record to also write the Product Variation. I have written a blog on the same that is coming out tomorrow. That should give you better understand of it.
Am not sure if what I wrote inside the Records Input is correct...'recordType!{a6586e03-53d4-47ea-8f21-52d658700d3b}ICOS Order'( 'recordType!{a6586e03-53d4-47ea-8f21-52d658700d3b}ICOS Order.fields.{75c04d1e-ef37-4f51-83b1-cabfb7b169c0}id': 1, 'recordType!{a6586e03-53d4-47ea-8f21-52d658700d3b}ICOS Order.fields.{cdfc5c50-c0ab-488f-9059-85bf4df21277}message': pv!message, 'recordType!{a6586e03-53d4-47ea-8f21-52d658700d3b}ICOS Order.fields.{d6e316f2-f6a2-4c1c-9ecf-0f09487e43eb}orderStatusId': 1, 'recordType!{a6586e03-53d4-47ea-8f21-52d658700d3b}ICOS Order.fields.{0ed5711c-0959-43e6-be09-ccc9b4439ed8}price': pv!orderTotal)There are also other fields createdBy which is the User id (person who places the order) and createdOn.
Also here tried to do what you told me. I believe this is ok.
I did this as you told me. I think is good.
In the records Input this is what I wrote. Hope it's correct.'recordType!{a6586e03-53d4-47ea-8f21-52d658700d3b}ICOS Order'( 'recordType!{a6586e03-53d4-47ea-8f21-52d658700d3b}ICOS Order.fields.{75c04d1e-ef37-4f51-83b1-cabfb7b169c0}id': 1, 'recordType!{a6586e03-53d4-47ea-8f21-52d658700d3b}ICOS Order.fields.{cdfc5c50-c0ab-488f-9059-85bf4df21277}message': pv!message, 'recordType!{a6586e03-53d4-47ea-8f21-52d658700d3b}ICOS Order.fields.{d6e316f2-f6a2-4c1c-9ecf-0f09487e43eb}orderStatusId': 1, 'recordType!{a6586e03-53d4-47ea-8f21-52d658700d3b}ICOS Order.fields.{0ed5711c-0959-43e6-be09-ccc9b4439ed8}price': pv!orderTotal)
createdBy and CreatedOn also have to be set. Don't know if this will be done automatically.
christodoulosp0001 The blog that I talked about should be available here at 10:00 AM IST tomorrow
Hi christodoulosp0001 you need to rethink about the process variable data types that you took , I don't know why you went for "MAP", you can directly use Data type of type "ICOS Orders"
