Hi Everyone,
I have a requirement where a user clicks a notification, and before opening the Summary page, I need to mark the notification as Read.
To achieve this, I created a Process Model Start Form that updates the notification status and then displays the same Summary UI.
The issue is that the Summary UI contains an email section with a File Upload field. When the user clicks Send Email, I call:
a!submitUploadedFiles( documents: local!attachments )
This works correctly when the Summary UI is opened from the Record Summary page, but when it is opened through the Process Start Form, I get the following error:
a!submitUploadedFiles() cannot be evaluated in this environment
I understand that a!submitUploadedFiles() is not supported in a Process Start Form.
a!submitUploadedFiles()
Has anyone implemented a similar requirement? What is the recommended approach complete it
Would creating a separate interface or dialog just for file uploads be the recommended approach, or is there a better Appian design pattern for this scenario?
Thanks in advance!

I do not understand what this has to do with sending an email and uploading a file.
In a process start for, to upload a file, you MUST submit the form. a!submitUploadedFiles() is ONLY made for Appian portals.
