36145 - no subject - I am using integer values in a status fi

moritzw over 11 years ago

I am using integer values in a status field in my process. I want to show the user the matching text in the report. To be able to have it in multiple languages I am reading the value from a properties file. My expression looks like this: =index(split(rule!TOMM_TranslateKey("app.tomm.status.array"),";"),pv!status_int,1)

This is working fine in the process instance dashboard, but is not showing anything in a report. Are there limitations on what to use in an expression rule of a report?...

PS.: the rule I am calling is using the loggedinuser() function. Is that not working on reports?

Are you getting any errors in the logs when loading the report with the rule? Maybe you can up the logging level on your plugin?

Moritz,
The loggedinuser function can not be used in a report, as it is one of the restricted functions (Appian Scripting Functions). See more here on this restriction:

Michael, are you saying that we cannot or should not use the loggedinuser function in a report? I have this in a report and it's working fine in our dev environment.

I did a test and can confirm that the loggedinuser() function is working. It seems the function it's not calling correctly is the custom expression function I am using.

Some Appian scripting functions can work, but as many other Appian Scripting Functions (and custom java functions) do not work in reports they are lumped together and are not recommended for use in defining report columns.
