Can we set character limit for rich text field

Hi All,  As the application name and its prefix has been changed after the half way across the development, we are now in need to change the existing appian objects to the new prefix. While doing so, I'm trying to change the CDT, Data Store etc.. ( AFAIK  while is the most tedious task) but getting the below error : is there any best practices for changing the prefix for CDT , DB tables , Data store , records etc ? Can someone please elucidate ?  Error snap shot :  XSD File EM_table2XSD – < 1 KB The name and namespace of the new version of the data type must be the same as the current data type's name and namespace. Received namespace: urn:com:appian:types:EM, name: EM_table2

I have an expression that takes in a dse and spits out the column names of everything in that dse. Unfortunately, the way it does this is by querying the dse and then running a!keys() on the first entry of the result to figure that all out. While this works perfectly well when the dse has values in it, it will error out if the table is empty. So is there any way to get the same information directly from a DSE that doesn't have data in it? 

An often occuring frustration when testing out an interface is that it will work fine within the interface editor, but once we throw it on a site, something goes wrong. That wouldn't be too big a deal as it's all part of development, but whenever we test interfaces on a site, there is no way to see what values the variables are getting for diagnostic purposes. We can hide/show the components on the site, but is there some way for developers to also see variable values?

Good morning. I have a flow where an inclusive or node is used to branch one or two branches in parallel. However, when putting the convergent inclusive or node, the process continues when the first branch arrives and does not wait to synchronize the arrival of the second branch when both branches are fulfilled. What am I doing wrong, how should it be done? Thank you very much and best regards.

I set in the User Task the ReAssignment privileges to "No privilege" because I don't want that a user can reassign a task if another assigned the same to himself. But the "Reassign" button keeps staying when I open the task. Any advice?

Hi Team, I have a requirement to call a process model inside the button saveInto using a!startprocess function. But when i am using the function the variables declared inside the button saveInto are not updating.  Any Idea on how to fix this issue. Thanks in Advance

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.

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??
