Hi guys,
I’m trying to filter a process variable through SQL Query but it passed an activity parameter with no returns. In process model below, the user would select one project name (in the process start form) and the system should return all the data related to that project. However, right now the system returns all the data in SQL including all the projects we have.

Does anyone know how to filter out other projects and only leave the data regarding the project user selected?

Waiting on line. Thanks a million in advance!

Hi Lin,
You might want to consider adjusting your implementation to employ a query rule or an queryEntity expression rule executed via script task rather than the query db node. This would typically be the preferred approach.
Your rule can be configured to take project name as a parameter. This rule can then be easily tested independent of your process. This will require that the target table be in a database that's configured as an Appian data source.
