I don't think that the sorting has something to do with it, if you have doubts just remove/comment the sortInfo, it doesn't affect the information displayed.

Would the sort info in the gridSelection have something to do with why nothing is displaying?

I am not sure how is your code, but here are two examples with your same structure, I hope this helps.

Please note this: From the code you shared before, you are doing some validations in the considering the filteredData was an array

{"text 1","text 2" , .. "text n"}.

Take care with this kind of things. I specifically refer to this, (that you posted before)

local!filterData: if(
rule!AF_RULE_General_isBlank(
local!search
),
{},
index(
local!data,
where(
like(
lower(local!data),
"*" & lower(local!search) & "*"
)
)
)
),

Example 1- With the dictionary

load(
	local!entities: {
		{Name:"Store One"	,storeid:"s1"	, storeSymbol:"BON"	,storeCity:"Des Moines"	,storeState:"IA"}	, 
		{Name:"Store Two"	,storeid: "s2"	, storeSymbol:"BTW"	,storeCity:"Boise"	,storeState:"ID"}	,
		{Name:"Store Three"	,storeid: "s3"	, storeSymbol:"BTH"	,storeCity:"Charlotte"	,storeState:"NC"}	,
		{Name:"Store Four"	,storeid: "s4"	, storeSymbol:"BFR"	,storeCity:"New York"	,storeState:"NY"}	,
		{Name:"Store Five"	,storeid: "s5"	, storeSymbol:"BFV"	,storeCity:"Houston"	,storeState:"TX"}	,
		{Name:"Store Six"	,storeid: "s6"	, storeSymbol:"BSX"	,storeCity:"Seattle"	,storeState:"WA"}	,
		{Name:"Store Seven"	,storeid: "s7"	, storeSymbol:"BSVN",storeCity:"Jersey City",storeState:"NJ"}	,
		{Name:"Store Eight"	,storeid: "s8"	, storeSymbol:"BET"	,storeCity:"El Paso"	,storeState:"TX"}	,
		{Name:"Store Nine"	,storeid: "s9"	, storeSymbol:"BNI"	,storeCity:"Jersey City",storeState:"NJ"}	,
		{Name:"Store Ten"	,storeid: "s10"	, storeSymbol:"BTN"	,storeCity:"Fort Worth"	,storeState:"TX"}
	},
  local!pagingInfo:a!pagingInfo(
    startIndex:1,
    batchSize:-1
  ),
  local!dataSubset:a!dataSubset(
    data:local!entities,
    totalCount: length(
      local!entities
    ),
    identifiers:local!entities.storeid,
    startIndex:1,
    batchSize:-1
    
  ),
  
  a!gridField(
    label: "gridField",
    totalCount: local!dataSubset.totalCount,
    value:local!pagingInfo,
    saveInto:local!pagingInfo,
    columns: {
      a!gridTextColumn(
        label: "Name",
        field: "Name",
        data: index(local!dataSubset.data,"Name",{})
      ),a!gridTextColumn(
        label: "storeid",
        field: "storeid",
        data: index(local!dataSubset.data, "storeid",{})
      ),a!gridTextColumn(
        label: "storeSymbol",
        field: "storeSymbol",
        data: index(local!dataSubset.data, "storeSymbol",{})
      ),a!gridTextColumn(
        label: "storeCity",
        field: "storeCity",
        data: index(local!dataSubset.data,"storeCity",{})
      ),a!gridTextColumn(
        label: "storeState",
        field: "storeState",
        data: index(local!dataSubset.data,"storeState",{})
      )
    }
  )
)

Example 2 - with the CDT

load(
	local!entities: {
		{Name:"Store One"	,storeid:"s1"	, storeSymbol:"BON"	,storeCity:"Des Moines"	,storeState:"IA"}	,

i am trying to display a picture of the grid, but it will not let me

RE: Cannot display the rest of the fields in a grid

ck0220 — Thu, 14 Sep 2017 22:25:55 GMT

I have a hard coded array called "stores" with 10 different store names, id, phone number, etc.
local!entities: {
{"Store One","s1", "BON", "Des Moines", "IA"},
{"Store Two", "s2", "BTW", "Boise", "ID"},
{"Store Three", "s3", "BTH", "Charlotte", "NC"},
{"Store Four", "s4", "BFR", "New York", "NY"},
{"Store Five", "s5", "BFV", "Houston", "TX"},
{"Store Six", "s6", "BSX", "Seattle", "WA"},
{"Store Seven", "s7", "BSVN", "Jersey City", "NJ"},
{"Store Eight", "s8", "BET", "El Paso", "TX"},
{"Store Nine", "s9", "BNI", "Jersey City", "NJ"},
{"Store Ten", "s10", "BTN", "Fort Worth", "TX"}
},

I changed the filterData [fv!index] to this.

a!forEach(
items: local!filterData,
expression: 'type!{urn:com:appian:types:stores}stores_Entity'(
Name: local!stores[fv!index],
storeid: local!stores [fv!index],
storeSymbol: local!stores[fv!index],
storeCity: local!stores[fv!index],
storeState: local!stores[fv!index]
)
)

I now have success in displaying different information, but it is not displaying in the correct fashion.

RE: Cannot display the rest of the fields in a grid

josep — Thu, 14 Sep 2017 22:09:28 GMT

you are doing this look specially to this comments"/* << Repeating data*/"

This is the new code:
a!forEach(
items: local!filterData,
expression: 'type!{urn:com:appian:types:store}store_Entity'(
name: local!filterData[fv!index],
storeID: local!filterData[fv!index], /* << Repeating data*/
storeNumber: local!filterData[fv!index], /* << Repeating data*/
storeManager: local!filterData[fv!index],/* << Repeating data*/
storeCity: local!filterData[fv!index],/* << Repeating data*/
storeState: local!filterData[fv!index]/* << Repeating data*/
)
)

Which is assigning the same values to all the columns, that was exactly the test i was trying to make. so the gird it self its right, the data you are passing is the problem. But for this new we need more context on the information where you are getting this values "local!filterData"

Because as i see it self "filterData" is an array which you are assigning the same values all the collumns in the grid.
As Mike commented you can get the information directly from the rule

RE: Cannot display the rest of the fields in a grid

ck0220 — Thu, 14 Sep 2017 22:01:36 GMT

Not sure if you read earlier, but this was code passed down to me. I'm not sure exactly why the type! casting is happening either to be honest.

Here's the piece of code containing filterData if that helps.
local!filterData: if(
rule!AF_RULE_General_isBlank(
local!search
),
{},
index(
local!data,
where(
like(
lower(local!data),
"*" & lower(local!search) & "*"
)
)
)
),

RE: Cannot display the rest of the fields in a grid

Mike Schmitt — Thu, 14 Sep 2017 21:58:23 GMT

In the code you've pasted, you're setting every property to the same value (the value of "local!filterData[fv!index]"). I'm not clear why you're even doing this type! casting - you should just be able to display data in the grid straight from the data you're receiving in your rule input.

RE: Cannot display the rest of the fields in a grid

ck0220 — Thu, 14 Sep 2017 21:54:27 GMT

Update:

Part of the reason the information was not displaying was because the CDT was using the incorrect fields. The CDT now uses the correct fields and all of the columns in the grid display information!

However, now all of the information is the exact same as the first column.

This is the new code:
a!forEach(
items: local!filterData,
expression: 'type!{urn:com:appian:types:store}store_Entity'(
name: local!filterData[fv!index],storeID: local!filterData[fv!index],
storeNumber: local!filterData[fv!index],
storeManager: local!filterData[fv!index],
storeCity: local!filterData[fv!index],
storeState: local!filterData[fv!index]
)
)

What would be the reasoning for the duplication of information?

RE: Cannot display the rest of the fields in a grid

Mike Schmitt — Thu, 14 Sep 2017 21:27:32 GMT

We would need more context as to your overall form in order to know why you're getting that error (though i'd guess it's just syntax).

As a side note, I strongly encourage you to use the "Insert Code" tool in the Insert menu, to avoid making your posts impossible to read when pasting large chunks of code, and to retain formatting (which makes code 10x easier to read).

Hi Mike,

Any time I attempt to add the paragraph field before the grid field, I receive the error:

Could not display interface. Please check definition and inputs.
Interface Definition: Expression evaluation error while parsing rule 'grid_user_selectentities': Missing right parenthesis in expression, found COMMA

But there is no right parenthesis missing

RE: Cannot display the rest of the fields in a grid

Mike Schmitt — Thu, 14 Sep 2017 21:07:19 GMT

The only reason I can think of why storeID might not be displaying is that your data set (ri!storeData.data) doesn't contain a property with the exact name "storeID". You probably need to check whether it's something different.

By way of testing, you can display the exact value of the datasubset you're working with in a test paragraph field that you can then remove later.

a!paragraphField(
  label: "DEBUG",
  value: ri!storeData,
  readOnly: true()
)

RE: Cannot display the rest of the fields in a grid

ck0220 — Thu, 14 Sep 2017 21:06:16 GMT

Ok. So I'm going to try and explain what I just did.

Upon looking at the forEach again, I realized that it is calling the CDT Store_Entity. That CDT did not have the storeID name nor type which was probably part of the issue. So what I did was add a field from that CDT (phone number) to the a!foreach. It now says

a!forEach(
items: local!filterData,
expression: 'type!{urn:com:appian:types:store}store_Entity'(
name: local!filterData[fv!index],
storeNumber: local!filterData[fv!index]
)
)
This allowed for the second column to populate. However, the phone number is not in the second column, the name is. So now I have two columns with the same store name even though the second column says Store Number.

RE: Cannot display the rest of the fields in a grid

josep — Thu, 14 Sep 2017 20:51:35 GMT

Actually, as I said this should be an array, thats why it prompted an error. Sorry about it return it to {} try the 2) option you will see the information ( please delte it when you finish)

In the previous comment I noticed this.
hey this part you are just creating object with 1 field, the Name, then the other fields won't have values
a!forEach(
items: local!filterData,
expression: 'type!{urn:com:appian:types:store}store_Entity'(
Name: local!filterData[fv!index],
storeID: local!filterData[fv!index]
)
)

It seems like the problem is on the information the grid is receiving.

RE: Cannot display the rest of the fields in a grid

1) Can you try this? ans see what you get?
a!gridTextColumn(
label: cons!NMLS_TEXT_STORE_ID_LABEL,
field: "storeID",
data: index(
ri!storeData.data,
"storeID",
"*We have not DATA *"
)
),

2) to make sure you get the information in the datasubset add a "paragraphField "
...
a!paragraphField(value:ri!storeData.data),
a!gridField(
label: cons!NMLS_TEXT_SELECT_A_STORE_LABEL,
...

This will tell you lot of information
