Hi Appian, There is a Process model(A) and within it there is Process model(B) as sub-process. When executing the process, it works fine with great performance for the first loop. (less than 1 sec) But for the loops after the frist loop, the process performance slows down massively (more than 13~16 sec, at least 13 times the first loop performance.)     The preformance of the process slows down massively. And this is a critical problem for us. What might be the reason for slow down of the performance. And how could we fix this? Thank you

Hello Community, U want to use a array of CDT's as input to the text from template smartservice. It works fine for 1 Line. How to configure the next CDT's Will append to the document on the next Line? Tried joinarray char 13 and char 10, this only works for one mergefield. Kind regards, Erik

I have a dropdown component and I want certain values to be available for choice based on the security groups of the user. For example someone who is only in group A might be able to choose 1, 2 or 3 from a dropdown, someone in group B might be able to choose 4, 5 and 6 from the dropdown and someone who is in both groups would be able to choose all 6 options. Changing the dropdown labels/values based on group is not a big deal to do, however, since the dropdown only allows values to exist that are within the currently available list of labels/values, if group A chooses 1 and someone in group B looks at the form, the 1 will be invalid and break the interface. What would be a good way to get around this issue? 

Hello everybody, I am a bartender and YES I am changing careers. Currently I'm taking college classes in development to catch up on tech and I will be attending APPIAN WORLD 2023 in San Diego on may 1st. My concentration is development to start applying jobs in about 6 months. I wanted to go ahead and connect with people who recently did a career change, OR already done it (NICE WORK BTW) - and potentially become Appian buddies and learn from each other OR learn from YOU! If you are going to attend Appian world, we seriously should connect. I am looking to build Appian relationships, share and consume projects in the community too. Hit me up on LinkedIn, its sorta lonely over there but don't we gotta start somewhere? Thanks for this community and take care colleagues! LinkedIN

HelloI have a section that is collapsible but the label has to change based on the state of the section - any suggestions on how I can implement it using Appian's built-in features. I can do it using richTextField but then I can't seem to emulate the slow animation that Appian's default code does. So, two questions: Is there a way to change labels based on the state or Is there a way to emulate the slow animation of the arrow if I create the section label using richTextField.a!sectionLayout( if (sectionIsCollapsed, label:"Show Details", label: "Hide Details") is it possible to code the slow animation of the arrow as Appian does here?label:"Show Details", logic to change text to display based on the state of the section  Thank you for your assistance M a!localVariables( local!isExpanded: false(), a!sectionLayout( label: "Outer Section", isCollapsible: true, contents: { a!richTextDisplayField( value: {

Ok so, inside a forEach statement I define a local variable like so: a!localVariables( local!routingChoices: a!refreshVariable( value: if( a!isNotNullOrEmpty(ri!inputData[local!currentIndex].routingAction[fv!index]), a!match( value: ri!inputData[local!currentIndex].routingAction[fv!index], equals: 6, then: {1,2}, equals: 7, then: {1,3}, equals: 8, then: {2,4}, equals: 9, then: {2,3}, equals: 10, then: {3,4}, equals: 11, then: {1,2,3}, equals: 12, then: {2,3,4}, default: fv!value ), null() ), refreshOnReferencedVarChange: false(), refreshOnVarChange: local!sealCount ), local!sealCount stores an integer and the forEach is set up to run "enumerate(local!sealCount)" times (so if local!sealCount = 2 the forEach runs twice). Then, farther down in the interface, I have a dynamic link that acts as a "delete&q

Hello everybody we have got this message in tomcat logs: "A high-memory expression evaluation was logged, but the evaluation was not identified. The expressions aborted log will not contain all evaluation info" and this message is repeated several times and between every occurrence there are the lines that I have put in the log in attachment. I would ask if someone has ever met this error, or in alternative if you can give to me some hints,  after the reading of the log, that in my opinion in quite hard to understand. Thank you in advance for any help or suggestion, best regards Paolo [View:/cfs-file/__key/communityserver-discussions-components-files/11/log.txt:87:58]

Hi, I have a very basic process model where I'm setting a new value for a users first name and last name, then setting a new value for the username and finally deactivating the user. The process has been working as expected for approx. 1 month but is now showing this error on the Rename Users Smart Service: The amount of time allocated for the completion of an unattended activity was insufficient to allow the activity to complete. It also sporadically shows the following error, again on the same Rename Users Smart Service node: An error occurred in executing an Activity Class.

Hi, There is a CDT which is calling a Sequence in Oracle as a primary key. Below is the extract from CDT. <xsd:element name="recordId" nillable="true" type="xsd:int"> <xsd:annotation> <xsd:appinfo source="appian.jpa">@Column(name="RECORD_ID") @Id @GeneratedValue @SequenceGenerator(name="sequence", sequenceName="A_RECORD_ID", allocationSize=1)</xsd:appinfo> </xsd:annotation> </xsd:element> For some reason, when we are trying to insert data in the table some other sequence is being called and we are getting "Unique key Violation". We are able to identify that sequence but not able to figure how this is happening. We could not find any trigger in the table. Any pointers would be highly appreciated.
