I want my interface to display a value in a text field (text field #2) that is the same value as a different text field (text field #1). The purpose is to save the user time so he doesn't have to type the information twice. Text field #1 saves to a RULE INPUT called RECORD. Text field #2 saves to a RULE INPUT called EQUIPMENT.  The interface is ignoring the value displayed in text field #2, even though it displays a value in text field #2. As a result, no value is stored in my CDT for text field #2. My process model has a "Write to" for both RULE INPUTS and everything is going good except for this one thing that I want to carry from text field #1 to text field #2. Here is text field #1: a!textField( label: "Training Event", labelPosition: "ABOVE", value: ri!record.trainingevent,         <<<<<<<<<<<<<<<<<<<<<< saveInto: ri!record.trainingevent, characte

Hi Team, I am working on building a performance test approach including a platform baseline, benchmark for future growth, and identifying when to scale infra and system capabilities. Any inputs related to the below will be very helpful: 1. Performance test objectives at a platform level 2. Parameters to monitor at platform level (What all parameters to measure at Appian component level as well as application and process level) 3. Sources of performance data (In addition to data from tools like Loadrunner, what additional sources of data including logs are used) 4. Any sample approaches for Appian and E2E performance test where Appian integrates with other systems through API Thanks in advance

I am working on a questionnaire application in which a question can be set as a parent and it can have multiple child questions. I have created two different tables, one to hold parent questions and the other one to hold child questions. Also, I have created two different CDT's for the same in Appian. In interface, I am displaying all the questions in a grid layout using foreach. If a question has child questions, I want to display those child questions right below the parent question as part of the same grid layout but currently I am unable to do so since parent and child questions are of two different CDT's. Is there a way I can list both parent and child questions in the same grid? Thank you in Advance.

Hi, We have built a pop-up  window that can only display text. but now we would like to make an editable window like grids or another interface. This is the code we have written to display the text, if we want to display an interface with input box for example, how to make it? a!buttonArrayLayout( buttons: { a!buttonWidget( label: "Button", style: "NORMAL", confirmHeader: "test", confirmMessage: ri!sample, confirmButtonLabel: "submit", cancelButtonLabel: "cancel" ) }, align: "START" )   Thanks 

How to have a user input task auto accepted when user opens it?? I do see a old thread for this similar use case but it was old and the feature wasn't available then. I understand the intention behind users having to accept a task but there should be a provision for developers to decide the behavior based on use case.  As having users to manually accept a task encourage s them to cherry pick a easier task and leave harder ones which requires more actions.

I'm having an issue where a client is receiving incomplete emails.  They suspect the culprit has something to do with the source code of the email is including two (2) open and closing HTML tags. The emails are being sent to an external system as well. Here's the HTML the client is receiving (note that i've removed any details about the client in the email) <html><body><html><body lang="EN-AU" link="blue" vlink="#A2C617" style='font-family:Calibri'/><p><div><font face="Calibri" size="3" color="#4B4B4B"/><b></b><br/><b>Appointment Type: </b> <b>Name: </b> <b>Position Title: </b> <b>Commencement Date: </b> <b>C-Level: </b> <b>Classification: </b> <b>Supervisor Name: </b> <b>Supervisor Contact: </b> <b>Appi

Hi, I'm needing some direction on how to assign a user selection to a local variable. For some context: There are several drop down selections on my interface. Based on what the user selects in each category will affect the total price. So I'm gathering that I'll need several local variables, one for each drop down selection, and then a total where they are all added up. I just cant seem to figure out how to assign what the user selects to a local variable. Or maybe there's a better way to go about it? Any help would be appreciated. Thanks!

Hi,  In my process model, I have a user input task (assigned to group A) then some script tasks and then I have an AND gate with two workflows coming off of it. Both workflows after the AND gate have user input tasks assigned to different groups, one being group A and one group B.  After the first user input task is completed by group A, then I would like a group A to be directly transitioned to the user task after the AND gate. I have the work flow path from the AND gate to the user input task assigned to group A activity chained but this doesn't do the direct transition. The other user input task, assigned to group B, after the AND gate doesn't need to directly transition. Any help is welcomed - thanks in advance!

Hi, I have an editable grid where I can update the data and add new employees. So far so good. When we try to click on "Add Employee", we were able to add multiple rows to the grid successfully with proper ID number. The issue is, by any chance if we delete the middle row(in this case, I have deleted row#5 item) (Image#2), the row number is not re-setting. Is there away, I can read number or rows in the grid dynamically and show this ID column values dynamically in a sequence.

Hi, I am trying to enable deadlines on process models and it is not working when I test it.I also tried to enable on the nodes inside the process, and it is still not working.What I need to do is set a time for the user, when a form is displayed, to take not more than 15 minutes to complete the form or the form shall automatically close and end the process.I enabled the deadline on the user input task separately and it is still not working.Anything I am doing wrong? or is there another way to create deadlines on forms? Thank youJean Michel Mendelek
