The above image shows that i gave the field security so thats its visible to only particular groups, but when i accessed the interface from being in that group, i was unable to see the field even though i assigned the security so that it was visible to that particular group.

Hi every one,  My team wants set up a connected system with MS teams, but having no idea how to start. Is there any documentation or could you explain to me where can I find the data to input into the fields in below screenshot please?  Thanks so much,

The process model is showing as invalid, but there are no logs indicating the reason for the invalid status. I’ve reviewed all subprocesses, and they appear to be valid. What could be the possible cause? Is there a standard or recommended approach to debugging this issue?

I am doing example "Build an Application: Step 10". This is where you build from scratch a simple process model to enter in a maintenance request. Everything work fine from the process start form to writing the data back to the Maintenance recordType. However, the XOR cancel does not work. When I click it, the flow process as if I am submitting the form. I followed the step by step instructions exactly. I even completely deleted the XOR and is corresponding End node and rebuilt. Still same thing. 

Hi All, i want to know , how to configure the below logic BY default all the option should be selected. and also in dropdown i can have the option to deselect all /select all along with all the options. Please help me how i can go about this

My company has a huge process model, includes hundreds of nodes and a lot sub process, there are a lot form nodes in this pm, they all having activity chaining and assigned to same user, we are developing on this pm and also have changes on ui and forms. When user finish and submit this form, will automatically redirect to next form node and do next form. Form data is complex list of cdt saves in process variables, and will write to db The problem is, our form can add multiple blocks of a same form, this can make list of data very big, when we added too many form blocks, likely 30 + blocks, then submit, then it shows a little action complete banner, and redirects to home page, but you can countiune this process and find next task in current user’s tasks, user can countiune task with no error. And in process instance monitoring, no error.  I guess it’s data size problem, but I didn’t find a way to resolve this problem, some times there will be a huge form.

I have a client request to look into the capabilities of converting Rich Text Format (RTF) into HTML. This is not regular rich text encoding, it's the older version of it. A sample might look something such as this  "{\rtf1\ansi\deff0 {\fonttbl {\f0 Times New Roman;}} \f0\fs24 Hello, world!}" I cannot seem to find any information on interactions between Appian and RTF. All of my searches return information relating to Appian's new rich text editor components. Is this something that simply does not exist? Was RTF deemed "too old" for Appian to work with it? Any information on the topic would be a huge help, even if it's just confirmation that there is nothing that currently handles RTF within Appian.

Hi Team, Whether we have any documentation on the difference between all the authentication types as mentioned in the subject of this post. Because, when I have gone through Appian documentation not able to get the difference clearly. Kindly guide me.

Hi All, There is a requirement to have a RTE component where it is working properly in the interface, But when I open that from the site. RTE Component is refreshing with the key press with the below code. Can someone suggest a way why it is refreshing with key press in the RTE component? a!localVariables( local!data: a!refreshVariable( value: a!forEach( items: ri!Data, expression: if( search("<html>",fv!item,1)=0, null, fv!item) ), refreshOnReferencedVarChange: false() ), local!emailData: a!refreshVariable( value: reject(fn!isnull(_),index(ri!qmcData,wherecontains(null,local!data),{})), refreshOnReferencedVarChange: false() ), local!linksData: a!refreshVariable( value:tostring(reject(fn!isnull(_),local!data) ), refreshOnReferencedVarChange: false() ), { richTextEditorField( label: "Query Management Links", richTextValue:local!linksData, richTextSaveInto: { local!linksData, a!save(ri!Data,append(local!emailData,local!linksData)), a!save( ri!segment, a!for

Hi Appian Gurus, I recently came across a code like this :  I noticed that using the If() function with more than three parameters works like a nested If condition. However, I couldn’t find any documentation about this behavior in Appian’s official documentation. Is it acceptable to use the If function in this way?

Hi, We have provided a read-only grid for users. The users are applying some random filters and viewing summary view of one request. When they come back the filters which they have applied are gone and they have to apply filters again.  I know you guys will suggest that we can save filters and access them. But it doesn't work because they have lot of combinations and saving those many combinations is not a good idea. To avoid losing of applied filters, we opened the summary view in new tab. But some users are getting confused to go back to grid. Is there a way in Appian to provide a link/button in the summary page to close the tab? or Is there a way to keep the filters applied when user going back to the grid from summary view?

Hi All, I found placeholder in picker component defined as "Text to display in the field when it is empty. Does not show if the field is read only."  Ref: https://docs.appian.com/suite/help/25.2/Custom_Picker_Component.html However dropdown component it is "Text to display when nothing is selected and the value is null." Ref: https://docs.appian.com/suite/help/25.2/Dropdown_Component.html So when the picker field been disabled or in readonly, it will show blank, how ever in the same page, disabled dropdown field can show the placeholder words.  Is there a way we can show the placeholder in disabled placeholder words in picker field or anyone knows why dropdown allows to show placeholder when its readonly.

Hi Everyone,I'm working with two lists in Appian and need to find the exact indices of elements from one list (local!checkList2) in another list (local!sourceList2) without sorting the data. For example, if local!sourceList2 is {1, 2, 3, 4, 5, 1, 2, 6, 3, 2, 7, 2} and local!checkList2 is {1, 2}, I want to get the indices where these values appear in local!sourceList2 in the original order. I've tried using wherecontains, but it sorts the data, which I don't want.  a!localVariables( local!sourceList: {3, 4, 5, 3, 7, 4, 7, 6, 5, 4, 3, 9, 2, 2, 3, 2, 2, 3, 3, 2, 4, 2, 2, 2, 2, 3, 2, 2, 3, 2, 4, 2, 3, 2, 2, 2, 4, 3, 2, 2, 2, 2, 2, 3, 2, 4, 5, 4, 2, 5, 6, 3, 4, 4, 7, 3, 4, 6, 4, 4, 2, 3, 2, 2, 2, 4, 2, 2, 4, 3, 3, 3, 2, 2, 2, 2, 2, 2, 2, 2, 5, 6, 2, 2, 2, 2, 2, 2, 3, 4, 5, 3, 7, 4, 7, 6, 5, 4, 3, 9, 2, 2, 3, 2, 2, 3, 3, 2, 4, 2, 2, 2, 2, 3, 2, 2, 3, 2, 4, 2, 3, 2, 2, 2, 4, 3, 2, 2, 2, 2, 2, 3, 2, 4, 5, 4, 2, 5, 6, 3, 4, 4,

I'm working on a use case for comment functionality, and I'm considering whether to use Appian’s built-in Event History List or to build a custom record type to store and manage comments. The Event History List is convenient, especially with @mention support and auto-timestamps, but I'm curious if there are any reasons to prefer a self-made comment record type. Are there any performance, scalability, or user experience considerations you’ve encountered in either direction? Would love to hear best practices or examples from others who’ve navigated this tradeoff!

I have a read only grid with a record type as source, I have three columns that has dynamic values. Meaning, I am using 4 or 5 record fields and get average these are custom fields. value: recordType!field1+recordType!field3+recordType!field3 / 3          --Its a numeric field lets say field name is "Avg value" then I have one drop down that suppose to filter the values in readonly grid based on slection. If I select the value ">1" from drop down readonly grid should filtered and show only records have "Avg value" column >=1 I am not able to use queryFilter as I don't have appropriate value for "Field"

Hello All ,  we have a database view , using that we created a record ( disable data sync) as Appian record is not allowing view with enable sync option.  facing performance issues with this Appian record picker, please can someone help with the following questions :  Question 1 : how can we implement a minimum character requirement for the search input in the record picker (pickerFieldRecords) to reduce the number of database queries ? Question 2 : how can we limit the initial load to a smaller subset (i.e. only load 20 result based on user filter) of records to prevent performance bottlenecks ? Question 3 : is there a way to implement Appian caches record data in memory with disabled data sync record  type ? Thanks!

Is it possible to generate a unique URL to open a process in Appian? I would like to be able to start an Appian process instance using an API from another system, and open that process from a screen like "Appian process list" on the other system.A process has multiple User Input Tasks and also enters sub-processes, but I would like to be able to open the process from the "Appian Process List" no matter what state it is in.Is it possible to generate and return a unique URL for opening a process, regardless of the task, when a process instance is launched? How should I implement this?I've recently started learning Appian.Please forgive me for asking a beginner's question. Thanks in Advance.
