In Appian release notes of 21.4. Removal section contains Process start forms and user input tasks can no longer be configured using in-line expressions. To configure new forms, directly select an interface and map inputs to your process variables. Existing expression-backed forms will continue to work as designed. What does it really mean?

I have a Parent Page with a list of records.  - When a user clicks on the record, it opens to the edit page where users can make changes to record and hit save. - But the changes are not showing up on the parent page? How do I refresh the records on the Parent Page?

Hi, I have an integration that calls the target database through APIGEE. I have CDT of array which is array So the integration need to be called n number of times in parallel using MNI. I see the request sent to APIGEE for all the 11 records (test data had 11 records) available in the CDT sent at the same time but the response received by appian is taking more time even though APIGEE sent the response back under a second for all the 11 requests. Below are the apigee and appian logs. The duration increases for each thread in appian which seems strange when apigee sent the response in less than a second. APIGEE log: Request 1 till 11 received at 9:52:08 AM Response 1 till 11 sent in 300 micro seconds at the max making it a response sent in less than a second Appian process nodes Request         Started             Completed             Duration Request 11   

When you make an expression, the name and rule inputs show up in the little help box in the bottom left corner much like native appian functions. The expression's description also shows up. I was wondering if there was some way to make descriptions for the rule inputs. 

Hi team, please I hope that in the next release the engineer team will add again the selection of the process variable, task properties and activities class in the new expression editor because for designer is very useful to select instead of writing them and in addition this behaviour go in the opposite direction of the low-code and drag-and-drop message. As an example selecting the pv name directly instead of writing pv! and try to remember the correct pv name is more faster and easy

Hi Everyone, Currently there are a total of 100 columns in a table and I am using export data store entity to excel smart service to export data into excel. Since we cannot export more than 50 columns, I am using 3 sheets in same excel to get export data. Is there any other way to export entire 100 columns data into excel without splitting them. Thanks

I have been assigned a task in my project wherein the requirement is to display a calendar as a page in the site. Note: The calendar should be user friendly and should also display events, if assigned to a user. The user should be able to move from one month to another, one year to another etc. The user should be able to view the calendar as the current day, current week or current month. How do I carry out this requirement?

Hi, I would have a theorical question : Let's say I have a very complex process that count 60 nodes, and the latter can not reach the end because of the 50 nodes limit. Let's admit that 30 first nodes car be executed in parallel with the 30 remaing nodes. Does the limit of 50 nodes will occur nevertheless?  (using an AND gateway for the 2 paths)

Hi Team, QueryEntity is not fetching data correctly, below is my code: a!queryEntity( entity: cons!TEMP_TABLE, fetchTotalCount: ri!fetchTotalCount, query: { a!query( selection: if( rule!APN_isEmpty(ri!columns), {}, a!querySelection( columns: a!forEach( ri!columns, a!queryColumn(field: fv!item) ) ) ), logicalExpression: a!queryLogicalExpression( operator: "AND", filters: { a!queryFilter( field: "clientId", operator: "=", value: ri!clientId ), a!queryFilter( field: "requestorName", operator: "=", value: ri!requestorName ), a!queryFilter( field: "engagementNumber", operator: "in", value: ri!engagementNumber ), }, ignoreFiltersWithEmptyValues: true() ), paginginfo: if( rule!APN_isEmpty(ri!pagingInfo), a!pagingInfo(startIndex: 1, batchSize: - 1), ri!pagingInfo ) ) }).dataIn the test output, it is returning the result as infinity symbol for a particular column which is number(integer), shown below: My table in the backend

I am facing below error on task submission: Previously, this issue was not occurring. We have checked the security for all the related objects. Everything seems to be fine.

Hi All, I am currently using Export from Datastore entity to Excel Smart service.  There are a total of 100 columns in the table and I am splitting approximately 30 columns into each sheet, making upto 3 sheets of data in same excel file. Uses 3 smart services for exporting data into 3 sheets of same excel. In first two sheets, column header is in plain format, But in third sheet column header is showing up as bold. I am unable to find out why one sheet is showing bold header. Can anyone help me how to make the column headers in all 3 sheets into same styling format (Either plain or Bold). NOTE: I am not using any predefined template to update, the new document generated by 1st Export from Datastore entity to Excel Smart service is used to update in the next smart service. The data gets updated in the another sheet, not in the sheet which already has the data. Thanks

I have taken one radiobuttonfield in my interface after clicking on update button in interface it should convert it into textfield. if anyone knows about this please help me out of this

Actually is this for me or somebody also facing this 403 error? 

Hi, Can someone help me here. Line1 code in the below attached image is giving proper expected output (Email). Where as Line2 is returning an error. Any idea what went wrong.

How can we save calculated value in rule input without user interaction in field ??

So, i have a date that cannot be > than today(), so i have a validation field. But when I enter a wrong date, the validation field triggers but it saves the save value into my rule input. It is possible to don´t save the value if the validation field triggers?

The interface for my grid field has all it's data queried before losing connection and stored in a local variable. Then for the grid field's data parameter, it's getting it from the local variable. I have this interface as a start form in a process model, so I may make it an Action on a site. When I test this out on mobile and disconnect myself it stops working. I followed the guide in Appian documentation not sure what I'm doing wrong? Is it because it's not a form, I even gave it a cancel button. 

Hi Team, I have 2 interface one is parent and another is child interface. From child interface i am submitting the form and found that value is not passing from child to parent. I am using same rule input for both parent and child. help me on this to get the solution. Thanks,

I want to write an expression rule to compare values of a rule input and value from a db table field.If the values are same ,then one of the fields(column) of my db table must be set to inactive or 0.
