Can anyone explain why data is not save in the "saveInto".Below is the

...save into, such as ri!name << fn!sum. Received: ListAtIndices.

..


No error in 7.8 and the value is also not getting updated in local variables.

There is a known issue in 7.8 (and maybe previous versions) where you can't save into multiple targets when directly using a!dynamicLink in a looping function such as apply() or applyComponents(). If you put the dynamicLink control into a sub-expression and call that instead in your apply() then you will be able to save into multiple targets.

Thanks tim. It worked.

Thanks Tim.

I'm also facing this issue. Is there a page that lists these known issues?

I am facing the same problem in Appian 7.7, do we have any workaround for this?

I created a workaround that Tim Clarke suggested and got this to work (thanks Tim!).
For me, this consisted of creating a separate rule to implement the logic contained within the apply() call.

mikej117, can you provide a sample of your separate rule and how you called the rule?

Hi steveh444, here are some code snippets. Firstly, here's the separate rule I created:

a!dynamicLink(
value: ri!teacherDataInput,
saveInto: {
a!save(ri!teacherUsername, property(ri!teacherDataInput, "username")),
a!save(ri!teacherInfo,
rule!HR_convertEmployeeCdt(
ri!teacherDataInput
)
)
}
)

... and here is a snippet of the calling code:

a!sectionLayout(
firstColumnContents: {
a!gridField(
label: "Search Results",
totalCount: local!searchResultDataSubset.totalCount,
columns: {
a!gridTextColumn(
label: "Username",
field: "username",
data: index(local!searchResultDataSubset.data, "username", {}),
links: apply(
rule!HR_teacherSelectionAdvancedSearchLink(
_,
ri!teacherUsername,
ri!teacherInfo,
{ a!save(local!showAdvancedSearch, false) }
),
{local!searchResultDataSubset.data}
)
),
a!gridTextColumn(
label: "First Name",
field: "firstName",
data: index(local!searchResultDataSubset.data, "firstName", {})
),
a!gridTextColumn(
label: "Last Name",
field: "surname",
data: index(local!searchResultDataSubset.data, "surname", {})
)
},
value: local!searchResultPagingInfo,
saveInto: local!searchResultPagingInfo
)
}
)
