Hi Team We use the jsonvalidator_isvalid() function to validate if the given text is in JSON format or not and then we use a!fromjson() function to format it. We get "true" boolean value in output for jsonvalidator_isvalid() function but a!fromjson() gives us error : "The jsonText parameter was not valid JSON." We also get  "true" boolean value in output for isjsonvalid() function. How can we resolve this? Appian version 21.1 Text used for validation is in format similar to the one mentioned below :  "You have issue:test to fix." "Test Description:" "test issue..." "For more details login to site" NOTE : We also have valid json texts, null texts and string values to validate.

We are using MS Graph plugin to read emails and save the data into APP_MAIL_POLLER table but nothing gets populated for field "BODY_ HTML".  We have followed the instructions of the plug-in in regards table structures.

We are trying to get the token out of the Client API in the Connected System from the Component. We need the username or any user details to generate the token for those requesting the token from the Component. We can send the logged-in user information in the payload of the request, but due to security concerns, we shouldn't pass any user details in the request. Is there any way that we can get the requester details from the Connected System? We tried getting a username from ProxyConfigurationData(Java object) got from ExecutionContex(Java object). It returns a null value if a proxy is not configured. We didn't get any user details from the SimpleClientApiRequest object. Please let us know if there is any other way or workaround to get the requester details from Connected System. Also is there any possibility that we can get requester details in servlet? Thanks, Santhosh Kumar A

When the editor loads for the 1st time, whether passing in anything (valid HTML, text) to richTextValue via local variable or rule input, the editor does not display the value. As soon as designer edits the SAIL, e.g. remove the richTextValue parameter and undo (ctrl-z), or toggle isReadOnly, the value is displayed., Usage bar shows % as >0, so it seems to think that there is value there, but is not displaying them. Steps to reproduce: Create new UI object, and add Advanced Rich Text Editor component Create a rule input of type Text Set richTextValue to rule input Supply a text value, e.g. "Hello" as rule input, set as default value Save object and close Open object - observe that "Hello" is not shown on load Toggle to Expression Mode, delete richTextValue parameter, and undo (ctrl-z) - observe that "Hello" is now displayed this comment is from [mention:33845a86f6114d5582c6d5fb658efbe2:e9ed411860ed4f2ba0265705b8793d05] and i have the s

Hello Everyone, We are on cloud (21.4). We would like to know whether it is possible to connect to DataBricks from Appian? From what we are told, there is not any REST API for that. So, I was wondering if Appian can connect to DataBricks via DataStore connectivity, or any other way? Thanks,Akshar

Hi Appian architect team, do you have suggestions for a method to auto-associate e-mails to an Appian record without CCing an Appian process email? A client is looking for CRM-style functionality which will pull in e-mails and associated replies in the continuing thread and associate them with a customer record in Appian. Pre-sales recommended custom development using MS Graph API but is seen as potentially too complex and/or risky. Welcome any alternative suggestions, third party tools or plugins for a workaround, etc.

Hi, We want to integrate our appian code/objects on GIT repository and we are following https://community.appian.com/w/the-appian-playbook/198/deployment-automation#Automated_Versioning_Manager article. To proceed with we have already installed Appian Import manager and Appian Versioning manager on the server. We presume that we will find the Application folder  of the applications which we have created on Web Interface in Zip format on the server. We have some queries related to it: Where can we find Zip file of the created application on the server(Please share the path) as we are accessing it through the bash console? What will be the admin_console_path? How the individual developer can get the code on their individual machines, as appian is common across?

Hi All, We have a requirement to read login audit files from all the application servers on a High Availability cloud environment. We have researched about the plugin 'Log Reader' which can read login audit files. However, from the discussions on its AppMarket page, we are unsure if it can read the log files from ALL the application servers, and not just the default one. We have also seen a note about its latest version which reads 'This version is to support HA environment'. However, we could not determine the exact steps required to read the log files from all the HA nodes. Has anyone actually implemented a similar feature using this plugin? If so, please share how you managed to read the log files from all the HA nodes. Many thanks!
