HOW-TO: Creating modal popup windows in Appian, the easy way

Thank you Stefan for the blog post! As new to Appian, this is definitely one topic that I need to align my mindset to how Appian is built.

This is great info. Thank you. Is there a way to bold some texts in a popup dialog? I only want to bold the first word in a sentence..

ok

As that dialog is just a normal Appian interface, bold text should not be much of a challenge.

yes, I am able to make the title of the dialog box bold but not the other text. I do not want the entire text to be bold. Only a few words in the dialog box.

I am confused. A rich text display field takes a list of rich text items. Each can be formatted individually.

ok

I need to have the "HelpType Request" in bold and not the rest of the sentence.

All you need to do is enclose them in separate Rich Text Item instances.

BTW please be sure to use the Code Box to ensure readability.

That's a pretty clever solution. Even though button styles are out of date in the example code, this is a pretty simple solution to implement in a parent interface.

THe best way id to Go With Record Action 
{
a!recordActionField(
actions: {
a!recordActionItem(
action: record Name.actions.actionName

In case of Parameters pass them Also 

)
},
style: "TOOLBAR",
display: "LABEL_AND_ICON"
)
}

In this way a true Modal Popup can Be Implemented
