Oops, Sorry about that then, I wasn't trying to hide anything from you 🙂 Appreciate the feedback.

Hi Mike,

My appologies, still new to Appian to community and did not see that you hyperlinked the OOTB text to your implementation.

That code is perfect, thank you very much!

I will mark your first reply as correct.

Correct

Is the Appian expression Rule i wrote in the linked thread above not sufficient for your use case for any reason?

Hi Mike,

Thank you for the response!
Does Appian not support Base64 encoding out of the box without creating a custom encoder?

If not, can you point me in the right direction as to some documentation related to this?

Thank you,

Nicholas

It's possible (if complicated) to write a (text) Base64 encoder / decoder using an OOTB expression rule.
