As stefan already mentioned - the only supported method for Tasks remains, "submit the form then deal with the uploaded file".

That's simple. The function a!submitUploadedFiles() was only added to support file uploads in portals. Just do not use it in process start forms or user input tasks.

Correct - it is specifically intended not to be used for interfaces in processes, since submitting a form does the same action inherently. I was hoping it would be, since it would have enabled some more advanced single-form file operations, but alas for now we're stuck with having to submit a form to deal with uploaded documents.

so you mean to say that a!submitUploadedfiles will not work for interfaces called through process model ?

RE: unable to use a!submitUploadedFiles() in site

Harshit Bumb (Appyzie) — Wed, 24 Jan 2024 20:37:15 GMT

It won't. And you don't need that in the start form because you the user will anyway be submitting the form to initiate the process.

Harshit Bumb (Appyzie) simple interface works. Also, I recreated the folders and constants and it is working now. I have a question, if a process model is configured in site and the interface is configured as start form having file upload . will a!submituploadedFiles() work. because , this is the next step.

This was true in older Appian versions, but was changed in 23.2, as was mentioned in the announcement webinar and release notes.

That is not the case. We just implemented this one of our projects and it works flawlessly.

kowsalyavijayan If what Mike suggested doesn't work and everything is according to the documentation and still you are unable to make it work, I will recommend opening a support case with Appian to investigate

Well i'm otherwise out of ideas other than making sure your security settings are all aligned (user account(s), folders, etc). On the current version of Appian this should be a supported use case. I guess maybe you could try testing on a simpler interface, one with just a file upload field and a button/link that only fires the "submit uploaded files" control when clicked, and see if it gives you the same error.

No tasks or process models . Just an interface configured in site

User is accessing the Screen through Site.

Harshit Bumb (Appyzie) — Wed, 24 Jan 2024 16:39:21 GMT

OP means Original Poster (who posted the question) and UIT is User Input Task.

Quick QUestion - Where is this screen plugged and how is the user accessing it?

I am not sure what is OP and UIT, I am new to Appian

Hi harish,

I am not using any process models here , just step by step screens where the user will have to file in details and upload files, there is one last screen where the user will review all the details he filed including the file uploaded ( download and view the file ). I am trying to save the files , when the user clicks the "NEXT" button in the file upload screen,

RE: unable to use a!submitUploadedFiles() in site

Mike Schmitt — Wed, 24 Jan 2024 16:12:22 GMT

Can you clarify whether this is on a Site Page in a User Input Task? As Harshit mentioned below (but i didn't think to clarify already), this function won't work in a User Input Task (sadly), because they want us to actually submit the task and move to a new UIT to display any properties about uploaded documents.

[quote userid="248371" url="~/discussions/f/user-interface/31235/unable-to-use-a-submituploadedfiles-in-site"]this is one of the step in my process[/quote]

Because of this line of OP, I am assuming they are using it in a UIT

RE: unable to use a!submitUploadedFiles() in site

Mike Schmitt — Wed, 24 Jan 2024 16:04:04 GMT

I was unclear, because in the OP they say they're trying this on a Site. However if it's actually being invoked in a User Input Task or Process Start Form, you're correct that it won't work. I think the error message you get if you try that, though, is a bit more specific than the one described in the OP (though maybe not).

RE: unable to use a!submitUploadedFiles() in site

Harshit Bumb (Appyzie) — Wed, 24 Jan 2024 16:02:24 GMT

It is because you can't use that function within an interface that is plugged as a UIT in a process.

The folder is inside Knowledge Center , I have only set editor access to the target folder but not knowledge center. Should I do something about it ?
