I have a validation on a dateField that I am trying to use a rule inside of the if statement. See below.validations: { if( and( rule!someRuleThatDoesntWorkHere(a, b, c), rule!someRuleThatWorks(a) ), "message goes here", {} ) } I get a "Cast Invalid Could not cast from Rule or Function Reference to Boolean" when I  add the first rule. Is there something I should look for specifically.

Hi Community, One of our new project ask is to have Appian support branching, merging and deployment basically to set up complete CI/CD. How can we do that? We need more than one developer working on the same object and then merging them like using git version control. Any suggestions will be appreciated. Thanks,

Hi team, I have a use case where I am calling an API -> Saving the data to appiancloud db -> fetching data to interface. I am calling an API which might take 1 to 2 minutes to send response and after that I will be able to store that in db and then I will be able to render it on interface. Now my question is, can I show a full page spinner until the data comes in the interface instead of loading the top loader bar ?

Hi All, I want to create a process report which will return all the processes with status "Processes With Errors" but unfortunately that status is not given in the status field in the process report filters.Is there any alternate way to achieve this. Thanks in Advance,SSP

Hello everyone, I stumbled upon an issue in Appian's interface designer. Whenever I open a record action in a dialog window (using recordActionField component) and submit a dialog form, all of my rule inputs are set to initial values. I tried running the interface as a process start form exposed as an application action and everything works fine (values of ri's stay the same), so this issue only occurs in the interface designer. Additional problem is kicking the same interface as a start form in process designer. It looks like in this case, opening related actions in dialog box is not supported at all. All actions are opened in a separate tab. Below I included a simple interface with which you can reproduce this issue { a!recordActionField(actions: a!recordActionItem('your record action')), a!linkField( links: a!dynamicLink( label: "Test", value: "Test", saveInto: { a!save( ri!test, "Updated value" )

Hi everyone, when ever we create any Appian objects, will it create any column or row in database referring to that object? Thank you all in advance! Regards, Kiran Sajjan

HI ,  we are planning for the migration from on-premise to appian cloud instance . In analysis , we came across one question : currently the each request to appian is identified by process Id(generated by appian) for the status or follow-up. on the request. Since we are planning to migrate to cloud instance . will there be any case where the process Id can repeat for new request to appian after migration ?

I want to create an link which should redirect to process activity apart from any environment dependency? is there any function?

HI All ,  I am trying to select the value in a readonly grid by select all and deselect all functionality in a grid . I am not able to achieve this . below is the snippet of my code . please help me  out . a!localVariables( local!data1: { { name: "Java" }, { name: "Python" } }, local!selectedRowData, local!pageSize: 25, local!defaultActivityPaging: a!pagingInfo( 1, local!pageSize, a!sortInfo("name", true) ), local!activityPaging: local!defaultActivityPaging, local!gridselectedsNumber, local!selection, local!isDeselectAllDisabled: or( length(local!data1) > 100, a!isNullOrEmpty(local!selection) ), local!isSelectAllDisabled: or( length(local!data1) > 100, length(local!data1) = 0 ), { a!columnsLayout( columns: { a!columnLayout( contents: { a!richTextDisplayField( value: { a!richTextIcon( icon: "question-circle", capti

I have a requirement where user A submits some task to user B for approval. But I won't be able to use OOTB task report here for user B to accept that task for approval. I need to provide a link to that task in my custom UI which opens that task. I know processTaskLink() and task ID is needed and we can store that in our db and then query the task ID associated with that record to generate the link to task for that record for approval. But, I am not able to figure out that how can I store the user input task ID to my db once it's active, if I put write to ds before then UI task is not active yet so no value and there is no point of putting after it as well because until unless task is completed by user that write won't run which doesn't makes any sense then. Because the link to open that same task will be generated after querying task id from db only. Correct me if I am thinking wrong approach and suggest some way to achieve the above functionality, not to mention again

Question - whether activity chaining is followed in start process smart service or not? The start process smart service calls the child process asynchronously and in asynchronous call the parent process does not wait for child process to complete . In documentation , it is mentioned that it followed, but their is condition that, " Will follow chaining in the new process until chaining ends, then the parent process resumes (even if the new process has not finished) ".  I tried so many times,  but every time it did not follow the activity chaining . I'm in confusion, whether the activity chaining is followed or not ? if start process smart service follow the activity chaining (as it is mentioned in documentation).then please give an example so it will be helpful to understand and in what cases it follow the activity chaining? Thankyou 

Hi, I've been trying to convert datetime from any set time zone to ET. Like, if in my profile settings I've time zone set as GMT, I'm using the below code, and its working fine for GMT to ET conversion, but if I'm going with MDT or IST, it's not returning the current time as per ET. Does any one happen to know how I could achieve this conversion from all time zones to EST ? datetext( local( ri!datetime, "America/New_York" ), "MM/dd/yyyy hh:mm a" ) & " ET"

Is it possible to place a text field within a paragraph of instructions? Specifically, I'd like to recreate this in Appian:  It would look something like this ideally:    That image is edited in a photo editor to display my intentions. I understand I could maybe concoct a sideBySide layout to get something close, but it might have formatting issues with different screen sizes. Does anybody have any idea what I can do to achieve this?

How can I have the user enter a datetime including seconds in Appian?  The date & time input control does not allow me to enter seconds (it clears the entire date/time value when I try) How can I display the datetime back to the user with the seconds?  I do not see any display formatting for the date & time control. It seems odd that this is not built-in... or if it is then I'm odd because I cannot find it.
