Hello, I would like to implement a "set" data structure in appian.  My use case prefers a "set" data structure as opposed to a list or dictionaries, because a set only contains unique values, or in my use case, unique sets.  I tried to search in the documentation, but to no avail.

Hi, In our application users have initiated actions many times to upload a file due to some integration issue for file upload. Issue has been resolved. Now the support guys have been asked to trigger the instances from Monitoring. Now the problem is if we trigger blindly without seeing we may end up running multiple instances for same file upload and it may lead to file duplicate issue in the integrated system. Could someone tell easy method to trigger only one instance for the same request?(I do not want to open each instance and see and then run. It will take time) Thanks Faisal

Hello, Is there a way in appian where I can search a list of dictionaries for any item in that list that meets a specific set of properties For example, say I have the following list: {{storeNum: "003", taskCode: "A", numOfTasks: 1292}, {storeNum: "003", taskCode: "B", numOfTasks: 5}, {storeNum: "003", taskCode: "C", numOfTasks: 8}, {storeNum: "003", taskCode: "D", numOfTasks: 5}, {storeNum: "004", taskCode: "A", numOfTasks: 208}, {storeNum: "004", taskCode: "C", numOfTasks: 2}}  Now, I want a function, that when I feed it a storeNum and taskCode, to return to me the numOfTasks if it exists in the list, and returns 0 (or any indication) when no dictionary items with the specified combination of storeNum and taskCode exists in the list.  for example, if I call function(storeNum: "003", taskCode:"A") it will return 1292 Ho

When you are trying to copy the value from the output of the expression editor the screen will sometimes scroll up to the top of the result set. I know this seems petty, but it makes it really hard sometimes to grab a value and requires multiple try's.  Pics posted as an example.

Hi all, Our main GUI team member is concerned about the icon that shows up next to the selected usergroup when it is picked from the Group Picker.  It appears to be a group of silhouettes, representing that there are multiple users.  We are looking for a way to remove this picture or icon. If it isn't possible, we would prefer to use the group icon that Designer mode uses: There isn't a call for our application to configure individual groups' profile pictures or special icons. So are there any alternatives to the silhouette icon? Thank you!

While looking at the grid I see that Mike posted the last comment. But when I navigate into the topic his post is not visible. I suspect is was deleted and the grid does not account for that. If so that seems kind of weird.
