Rule inputs being reset (set to null) after exiting from a record action field in interface design mode

Certified Associate Developer

Hello everyone,

I stumbled upon an issue in Appian's interface designer. Whenever I open a record action in a dialog window (using recordActionField component) and submit a dialog form, all of my rule inputs are set to initial values. I tried running the interface as a process start form exposed as an application action and everything works fine (values of ri's stay the same), so this issue only occurs in the interface designer. Additional problem is kicking the same interface as a start form in process designer. It looks like in this case, opening related actions in dialog box is not supported at all. All actions are opened in a separate tab.

Below I included a simple interface with which you can reproduce this issue

{
  a!recordActionField(actions: a!recordActionItem('your record action')),
  a!linkField(
    links: a!dynamicLink(
      label: "Test",
      value: "Test",
      saveInto: {
        a!save(
          ri!test,
          "Updated value"
        )
      }
    )
  )
}
