Hello, I am currently having some issues with validation groups on a button I have in a child interface. I will be referencing the picture below. The Save button on the bottom right has validate set to true, and is in the validation group "save_1". The fields "Expected Effort & Expertise Level" and "Total Payment Amount" are set to required, and are also in validation group "save_1". The whole section Organization Details is in a child interface, and the Section Add Participant Search Criteria is part of the parent. When I click the Save button, the fields from Participant Search Criteria are also validated despite not being in the validation group. I understand this can be avoided by placing them in a separate validation group, but that forcibly removes the asterisk (*) from the field which is unwanted. Am I possibly missing something about the validation group, or am I out of luck? Thanks.

I'm trying to generate a PDF Document based on data collected in an interface, including some charts that Appian generates based on some of that information. However, I can't figure out how to get the charts into the PDF. I tried using the "Generate Chart Image" Plug-in but it completely changed the formatting of the chart and doesn't look nearly as good. Does any one know of a way to get the charts into a PDF document (or other kind of document that could be converted to a pdf) while keeping the same formatting? Thanks in advance.

Hi, We have an interface where against each employee we have to store multiple languages. can someone suggest whether I can save the data using a single rule input or do I need to take multiple rule inputs?

So I've been configuring a send e-mail node and for some reason it wouldn't send out an e-mail. The node wouldn't error out, but no e-mails were getting sent out. It was driving me crazy until on a whim I decided to remove the variable I had sitting in the subject line to make it dynamic and suddenly it works perfectly. So the e-mail only seems to get sent as long as I don't put an expression of any sort other than a literal string in that subject line. Is this a bug, or is this expected behavior? Assuming it's a bug, can we get it fixed? 

Hi, Is there any way to see where a process has been triggered from. In other words, can I see the 'super-process' which led to the execution of the current sub-process instance.

And what time zone DB is running? is it GMT I am little bit confuse that shall I un-check this box "Override with Initiator's Time Zone"  as it is by default checked. Regards Bihitak

Message driven beans can use aliases for routing the email messages received. You can create aliases for process models UUIDs, process model IDs, processes, or events. Configuring an email alias is recommended when handling legacy email addresses. To add a routing alias: Open (or create) <APPIAN_HOME>/conf/custom.properties. Add a custom alias definition using the following pattern. conf.mailhandler.alias.= For example, with an email alias of HelpDeskRequest@mydomain.topdomain, define a process model start event target using a UUID with the following parameters. 1 conf.mailhandler.alias.HelpDeskRequest=processmodeluuid0004cedf-a045-8000-234b-c0a8031014c0 What does alias means here??

Hi Team, I have a process model which has around 5-6 nodes running in a loop. At one go the loop may have more than 1000 items to be run. The process model gets paused by exception after running the loop for 1000th time. Do we have any limit on  number of times a loop can run in one go? If yes, how can we handle the exception if we have more items than the maximum limit ? After the loop we have few nodes to run which gets stopped as the process model is getting paused. Appian current version : 21.1. Will soon migrate to 22.2. Any help is appreciated. Thank you.

Hi, "Expression evaluation error [evaluation ID = c3662:90d03] in rule 'bc_frm_addasset' at function a!dropdownField [line 114]: A null parameter has been passed.". An user cannot edit an asset when an UoM is deactivated. For eg. if Meters is deactivated in UoM reference table, then an user trying to edit an asset with 78 Meters as quantity can't edit the asset as it throws an error.  So I am trying to use intersection function but getting the above error.  Any suggestions how to fix this?  TIA a!dropdownField( label: "Unit of Measure", labelPosition: "ABOVE", placeholder: cons!BC_TEXT_PLACE_HOLDER_SELECT_VALUE, choiceLabels: property( local!unitOfMeasurementList, "description", null ), choiceValues: property(

Hello, I'm trying to create a gridLayout component whose components can be hierarchically selected (this means, clicking on a specific row will also select all its subrows, and their respective subrows, all the way til the last hierarchy level).  The thing is, I've assigned an unique id to each row from which I can know its parent rows, but in order to build this selection system, I should be able to loop over all row ids so I know if they have specific parent rows. Hence, my problem is getting all row ids. Is there any way to do it?

What would be the best way to conclude which of the two values ( text type ) is higher ?  touniformstring(1500000)<touniformstring(14285714) : this is returning as false . ( O/P should be True for mathematically to be correct ) touniformstring(1245) < touniformstring(2234) : This is returning as true as expected .  Is there any other idea to compare two text type value's to find out which is higher ?  P.S : The value is of text type . Changing the value to a number or decimal is out of scope . 

Good Day Experts, Can anyone please help me to skip SSO on embedded interface ? Instead of SSO I wanted to use generic account or service account for the Authentication and Authorization. Thanks in advance. Cheers, Kalai.

How to configure a timer to trigger on 1st and 15th of every month? pls let me know if any solution.

Hello: Can a process model pass back data to the record view interface when the user either cancels or submits a form within the process model? The scenario I am looking to handle is when a user clicks into a record view from the record list view. Within the record view, the interface has selectable tabs. The user usually selects a different tab before starting the process model. The issue I am having is when a process model is started from a record action on the record view interface, the selected tab index within the record view is reset to the original selected tab index of when the user entered the record view. Is there a way a process model can pass the selected tab state(or any data) to record view once the record action in the process model is cancelled or submitted? Thanks! Tony Plaza
