I am trying to find a way to select a constant by expression for the Increment C

@rrobins Hope I understood your question correctly, to the best of my knowledge, currently this isn't possible with the OOTB functionalities. As long as we are using the 'Increment Constant Smart Service' OOTB smart service, we are forced to use picker or autocomplete to select the constant. Still if you want to go with expression editor for selecting a constant, I guess this could be possible only with the shared plugin namely 'Get Constants By Name' at https://forum.appian.com/suite/tempo/records/type/components/item/i4BCLGOdlMUpdGVqT-RV7oRg74uEGJO5CX7OVw4rz1Bgd7Ltg6J2duTyqw2fy87/view/summary.

looks like that plugin will just return the value of the constant. Sounds like the OOB smart service really doesn't provide any useful expression option for the constant input so I guess I am stuck with with the old plugin smart service for now.

@rrobins Did you try testing the plugin? Afaik, it contains a function that returns the constant type which can be directly used in the expression editor. True, unfortunately there isn't an OOTB utility as of now.

Didn't actually try the plugin but looked at the documentation included, which describes the output of the expressions as either text or integer and says "the value of the constant will be returned".

Hi Bob -
Perhaps the Appian informational functions fn!typeof() & fn!typename() will help with your objective?
