Hi, I am getting this error

As someone who likes to have code with easy to read comments explaining what everything does and why, I like to use the annotation feature on my process models. However, the annotation boxes have the baffling functionality of obscuring nodes beneath them. I'd ideally like to just stretch an annotation box over a pack of nodes and note "These nodes are here for purpose x" so the next person who looks at them doesn't have to dive into the nodes to figure it out. Is there any way to do that currently without obscuring the nodes I've put the annotation box around? And if not, can we request that for future updates?

Hi,  I have a webapi created in appian that starts a process model, it always returns a 200 status code because starting the process correctly, but this process can fail. Is there any way that this webapi does not return statusCode 200 if the process fails at some point? Thanks

Hi All, I have a simple audit form as interface used for auditing between members. I am trying to configure as below,     When details are entered and pressed on submit that need to save the details in database which is happening successfully except a column regarding balance left. which will be calculating the balance left with the previous row. example: Money = 1050price in row 1 = 50; balance_left in row 1 = 1000; price in row 2 = 100; balance_left in row 2 = balance_left - price= 900price in row 3 = 100; balance_left in row 3 = balance_left - price= 800 Please let me know how can we configure this in interface when clicked on submit button

Hi, I just designed a simple process which has only three nodes. They are: Start node, Write to data store entity node, and a end  node. When i click on submit, its says that action completed. But when checked the database the data is not inserted. When checked the process monitor its shows only two nodes(Not sure Why). Please let me know what's happening in back end, and what might be the reason for showing only two nodes.  My CDT looks like below Id --- Primary key autoincremented Name --- Using cons for list of names Money --- entered by user in interface Transaction_id --- entered by user in interface from_bank. --- Using cons for list of Banks Transaction_Date --- now() is used to update date. Description: The interface has only Name, Money, Transaction_id, from_bank; a cancel and submit button when summitted the data need to written directly into the database. (Which is  not happening) Let me know where might be the error and first point to check. Thanks in Ad

How to have customized column/field configuration to display when creating a Query based on the selection of fields while creating a category

Hello, The basis of this question is in the subject. What is happening is that we have a trigger function in our database that creates a 32 varchar UUID for each record when they enter our database. My issue is that since the UUID is not generated by Appian in the Data Type it doesn't pull it into the process. Since everything is a process variable I would need to pull information into the process model. Where I am coming into an issue with is how I would do this. More information no other column in the database is Unique so querying from the database would be difficult as things may repeat. Any information is helpful thank you in advance!
