Thank you!

I have a column layout (shown below with dividers) with text fields with adjacent labels. I need this column layout to be more narrow, but when I make it more narrow, it tries to preserve the spacing to the left of the text field labels and shrinks the text field values. I want the opposite. I need to reduce the blank space to the left labels and keep the size of the text fields. How can I get rid of the wasted blank space on the left?

I have a process model that has multiple sub processes for a project. Each sub-process references the project name that was created at the beginning of the process. The project name is retrieved by calling a rule that then saves to a process variable. At a sub-process further down the life-cycle, there is a user task (a) and the process is waiting for the user to complete the task. Outside of this process model, anyone can go and update the project name. The name is then updated in the database. My issue is that at this point (a) while waiting for the user task, the project name is not being updated even though the database has a new name and  the process variable being reference is calling a rule to get the project name. All further sub-processes after (a) gets the updated project name. Only at (a) where the task was waiting to be completed when the name change occured, is not updated.  Does anyone have any idea of how to resolve this?

We are experiencing an intermittent problem with Send Email node in a process. On the front end, the error is 'Failed to send email'.  On the stdout log, it is stated that the error is caused by: 'jakarta.mail.AuthenticationFailedException: 535 Incorrect authentication data - https://community.mimecast.com/docs/DOC-1369#535'.  According to the given Mimecast web-page, error 535 is due to 'Incorrect authentication data'.   The sender and receiver in this instance was the same as multiple other instances in the same day, which worked as expected, with email going out and being received successfully. Any ideas? Thanks for taking the time to consider this.

Hi All, What is the best way to create multiple appian users from a list of usernames from the database (Each record has the necessary information for the user, name, last name, email etc) ? I'm just confused of how to set up the create user node for multiple users in this case. thanks in advance

The Health Check for my application, for process sizing, has 3 process models that are all taking up about 16GB and 32,000 # of instances.If I reduce the archiving from 3 days to 1 days on each process, it should cut out 10GB and about 22,000 instances.  Would doing this have any positive impact on the applications performance as a whole? Would it free up resources or processing engines in any way where I could see improvements on process models?Right now, I'm seeing sometimes my write to data stores taking .90 ms in some cases and then in other cases, taking up to .300ms (which is too long)  For context, my prod environment has about 853,000 process a day (585,557 completed, 183,000 active)
