Maybe I could have been a little clearer. We DID in fact remove the rows without documents existing. This DID NOT result in indexing completing successfully.&amp;nbsp; I will contact my management to request a support case be opened.&lt;/p&gt;
&lt;p&gt;&lt;/p&gt;
&lt;p&gt;Thanks again.&lt;/p&gt;&lt;div style="clear:both;"&gt;&lt;/div&gt;</description></item><item><title>RE: Smart Search Indexing Failure</title><link>https://community.appian.com/thread/154457?ContentTypeID=1</link><pubDate>Thu, 30 Apr 2026 17:39:51 GMT</pubDate><guid isPermaLink="false">d3a83456-d57b-489c-a84c-4e8267bb592a:162dda95-4365-4dc1-ba91-015ea7eba4f8</guid><dc:creator>Derek Knoderer</dc:creator><description>&lt;p&gt;&lt;a href="/members/jamesm4933"&gt;jamesm4933&lt;/a&gt;&amp;nbsp; Thank you for reporting this. Could you please file a forum support ticket&amp;nbsp;for this issue?&lt;/p&gt;
&lt;p&gt;We do have a known bug where document management record types with rows/records with null values for the document field cause&amp;nbsp;an indexing error.&amp;nbsp;We&amp;#39;ll look at getting&amp;nbsp;a bugfix for this prioritized soon.&amp;nbsp;&lt;/p&gt;
&lt;p&gt;As a temporary workaround, are you able to remove the rows without documents so that indexing can complete successfully? Or is there something about your use case that makes this unworkable?&amp;nbsp;&lt;/p&gt;
&lt;p&gt;We did not anticipate users having records for documents without any actual documents existing -- and&amp;nbsp;would be interested to learn more about your use case/s for using document management record types in this way.&amp;nbsp;Could you please&amp;nbsp;provide this additional context as part of the support ticket? Sorry for any confusion or frustration this has caused you, and thank you for your understanding and assistance!&amp;nbsp;&lt;/p&gt;&lt;div style="clear:both;"&gt;&lt;/div&gt;</description></item></channel></rss>
