when we are in Appian version 7.5, an expression rule was created with same as Appian function date(), later created expression rule was deleted from environment and now we are in 7.8 version. When I am trying to call out of box Appian date() function, still is referring to old expression rule. But it is working when we call as fn!date() instead of date() directly?

Any idea why it is not working date() and working as fn!date()?

Deleting an expression rule only prevents people from altering or changing the last version of the rule. According to Appian, even after it is deleted, "the last version of the rule is still available to be used in processes, record views, and reports."

When Appian reads date() it doesn't know if you mean the rule or the function unless you specify the function using the fn! notation before it. This is why it is recommended that you give rules unique names.
