Yes , you can do that. Grid is there Inside columnslayout ,you can write selection for grid and trigger a process to remove members or you can use a!removeGroupMembers()

Thanks that' what I was trying but with grid eventually it also helps me understand. I understood it's not a better approach. Is it possible for us to add or remove members from the group in columns layout?

            )
          )
        )
      }
    )
  }
)

It's not exactly what you looking for but i did few changes to your code (It can be modified to fit for better practices). I used Columns layout have a look into it. FYI: It's not the better approach

It is not a very common use case I would say because Appian doesn't support list of list. Hence, it you try to build a list of list where the outer list signifies groups and inner signifies members, it is bound to fail. And even if you use dicitonaries, you will have to use editable grid.

As part of task. Where I have to use grid to display the members of all the selected group in columns.

Priyanshu Bhavsar — Thu, 11 Apr 2024 10:57:03 GMT

So can you suggest me correct approach, where display the members of those selected groups?

Priyanshu Bhavsar

WHat is your usecase? Why do you want to display the members of all the selected group, in a single grid, in various columns?

I think your approach is wrong. Grids are used to show set of data in tabular form. Where as your data (in your code) it's more like a tree or hierarchy .
