Received requirement where needs to introduce 2 button named "TOP" and "BOTTOM" in the UI.
On click of "TOP" button the focus of the UI should be moved to top of the UI and on click of "BOTTOM" button the focus of the UI should be moved to bottom of the UI.
Is this achievable in Appian? If any suggestions please share.

So it's probably a bit of a hack...but in 23.4 the User Interface will now scroll to the first field in a form that has a validation error. So, you could add a text field with no visible label and read-only and empty (but not null) content and a validation on it that can be controlled by the value set in a local!variable.
You could then add a "Scroll to Top" button at the bottom of your form that saves a value into the local!variable that triggers the validation error. Because the validation message has to be a non-blank value you could use a Unicode character e.g. char(128285) to display something that doesn't look like an error message.
To scroll to the bottom you do exactly the same thing but flip the value set for the variable used to scroll to the top.
In your actual Submit button you need to set both top/bottom local!variables so that they don't throw the validation errors so that you can proceed the process.
Do you have a working example of this? I have tried using the textfield like you suggested but it does not scroll to the top. The only way that I am able to get it working is to add validation to an empty sectionLayout then it will scroll to the top but that causes the pink/red validation rectangle banner to appear. Anyway around this? I'm on version 24.4.
