Value not saving to PV in the process model

Your screenshot document contains screenshots of the forms from the user's point of view, but for us to help debug it would be most helpful to see screenshots of the way you're saving your filter values within your SAIL form, as well as the configuration for saving such values back into the process PV's as configured in the user input task node.

I understand basically what you're trying to accomplish here, but I'm afraid the solution is not overly simple or straightforward, and requires fairly strong understanding of SAIL forms and their setup within a process.

I am very familiar with debugging this type of issue. In nearly every case that ever happened to me I was calling a rule that I had written using keyword [ rule!myRule( param1: ri!one, param2: ri!two, param3: ri!three, paarm4: ri!four ]. I'd always find that I had misspelled one of the keywords (like I just did up there for demonstration) and Appian is perfectly fine with that. It just ignores any that you've misspelled and doesn't mind that you have some of your params undefined.

Start checking with the smallest sub-piece you can and see if values are saving properly, then go up one level, make sure they're still being saved properly, then go up one level, and repeat until you confirm they're saving into the process model when you're monitoring, then go down, down, down into the form that's supposed to receive the data. Once you find out how far upstream or downstream the issue occurs it should be a cinch to find the cause.

Yes ,I am passing activity class parameter to form as a rule input and saving that value to pv.
When passing the activityclass param to form (given value of ac param as pv!value)

Hi Soujanya B ,

Please check the value in the form tab

are you place the proper values

Please check once.

Thank,
