Here my rule input is of any type. Since your input type is W0112SA Vehicle, you will pass a variable which hold the data of type W0112SA Vehicle. The below is a screenshot of how I passed the value.

I have used a local variable here, in your case you can use a rule input in the parent interface which might hold the data or call an expression which queries your data.

Thank you for your reply. Could you please tell me or point me out how to do this? I've been trying to solve this all day and I'm still stuck in this step.

Yes, But you need to pass the data which is of the record type W0112SA Vehicle and not the recordType.

Maybe I have to add another relationship?

RE: Appian Step by Step - Process modelling 101 - Step 10 (part 2, page 4)

Martin Rodriguez — Wed, 05 Mar 2025 14:54:16 GMT

The type would be the W0112SA Vehicle record type, right?

Here it is.

Could you please open the rule W0112SA_VehicleDetailsView and check the rule input type

RE: Appian Step by Step - Process modelling 101 - Step 10 (part 2, page 4)

Martin Rodriguez — Wed, 05 Mar 2025 13:50:27 GMT

Thank you. How can I do that? Do I have to go back and modify the record type?

Hello Martin Rodriguez , It looks like you are passing the type instead of the value. Construct the record values. This is a rule input for Interface from what it looks like. You need to either pass a value or leave it blank and not just pass the record type.

Yes, however the record type is W0112SA Maintenance, W0112SA_MaintenanceRequest is the name of the interface.

Can you open check the record type? W0112SA_MaintenanceRequest is that is having any relationship

From the above image, you can see there is a tab called expression, could you click that tab on your interface, and post the code please

Need see your interface code please

Hi! I'm doing it when I drag and drop the previous interface I previously created (W#SA_VehicleDetailsView) into the Vehicle Details section. That's when the Configure Inputs dialog appears and I'm supposed to write the expression that you see in the screencapture.
Also, when typing 'relationships' the only options I'm given are 'eventHistory' and 'subscriber'

Hi Martin Rodriguez couple of questions from my side

Where are you doing this in the interface Rule inputs?
If yes, then you are mapping it in the wrong way. The field you use to save the value must be configured in its value and saveInto fields with recordType!yourrecord.relationship.relatedrecord.fields.fieldValue.
Did you establish mapping between the parent record and the child record?
