I am looking for sample implementation on how to bring up an already existing interface or a form (which is a collection of interfaces) in the interface view itself. I see some questions around redirecting to process model but in this case, I am only concerned about opening in the interface for the user.  Thanks

I need to delete a specific record in data store entity. i am getting the primary key id value in a text field named ID from an Interface how to map the value received from an interface to the data to delete field in Delete data store entity node in process model. I configured the node as below: Data to delete---={entity: cons!CONSTANT_POINTER_TO_DATA_STORE_ENTITY, identifiers: pv!primarykey_field}

Save Error:  The process model must have a valid name in the site primary language: English (GB). Switching the primary language setting (in admin console) to en_GB causes all my process models (in other applications) to show "???", so I must stay  with en_US as primary language.  How can I fix this process model to expect en_US names rather then en_GB names and let me save it ?  Thanks

HI All, Is there a way to delete older versions of a constant using any appian function or smart service? Scenario: I'm calling an API to get the bearer token and storing it in a constant. This is done using a recurring job (PM every 10 mins). But, doing this its creating a version every 10 mins. Is there any way to delete older version systematically? FYI,  I understand we can to an alternate approach by storing the value in a db and updating it, But I would like to see if there is any way to delete the older version of the constants.

Hello,  We are having issues because the commercials are uploading documents but they don't submit. This generates a new document in our DDBB but it is not created in Appian Documents Folder, so the next commercial finds the error shown below. We have tried that the DDBB is uploaded after submit, but this is not a valid solution. We have warned the commercials to don't do this, but they keep doing. Is there any solution? Thank you

Hi Everyone, I am facing an issue and I am not sure, What I am doing wrong. Here is my datasubset  { { record1: "21041001", nbr: "5DM874,C217668", recordname: {"test1", "test2"}, recordIds: {"75", "77"}, reportid: {}, selectedrecords: {}, selectedreports: {}, amount: 7.0, recordamount: {15, 15}, reportamount: {}, trecordId: 76 }, { { record2: "21041100", nbr: "5DM874,C217668", recordname: {"test3", "test4"}, recordIds: {"78", "79"}, reportid: {}, selectedrecords: {}, selectedreports: {}, amount: 7.0, recordamount: {15, 15}, reportamount: {}, trecordId: 88 } } I have an editable grid, which shows the record names in one of the column of grid from the above data subset and I ma trying to save the selected choices into "selectedrecords" parameter of above data subset using the following check box code. a!checkboxField( choiceLabels: fv!item.recordnames, choiceValues: fv!item.recordnames, value: fv!

Hi I have a need to be able to select an XML file, and use fields in it to populate an interface. At the moment I have a simpe interface with a File Upload and a Rule Input of xmlData (Document) which the file upload saves to. I am then kicking off a process model on submit which runs a script task. I have activity class parameters for the fields I want and am running the following script on each one =xpathdocument(pv!xmlFile,"/Document/Fields/Field[@Name='Department']/@Value") Currently I just get an error on the process model when I debug: Script Task An error occurred while evaluating expression: =xpathdocument(pv!xmlFile,"/Document/Fields/Field[@Name='Department']/@Value") (Expression evaluation error at function 'xpathdocument': An error occurred while trying to parse the XML stream.) (Data Inputs) Does anyone know what the error is more specifically?  Am I on the right lines or is there a better way of doing this? 

I need to create a drop down button in the text box field. How to do that plz suggest me. Thanks in advance

Hi Team, We would like to implement website using Appian which is having Multilanguage capabilities.  The language selection should be defined by browser language. Additional languages should be configurable by additional translation files and will be added based on the utilization of the application. Currently there is something know as profile language which we are aware of which changes the Appian language  Can anyone please suggest any pointers. Regards Bihitak

Hi Team,  By mistake, I imported the wrong Appian package as an update to an existing one, Is there any way to get the old open task back?

Hello,  How I can sort this by ClientName ?

Hello community, I have a webapi that updates an instance of a process model by completing an open task. this task has a input for a main category, example {"fruit", "vegetable"} the task output: Based on input, (a decision rule is called with ac!category as a parameter).  example category("fruit), result: Apple, Banana, Orange is stored in a pv. I would like to pass the result / task output or the value of the pv as a result/response of the webapi. I tried to retrieve the result by calling an expression that gets the pv value from a process report, this doesn't work because the data is not updated yet.fv!processInfo doesn't apply here because it's not an start process api. (guess that's the reason, it doesn't work) How can I make this work? Kind Regards, Erik

Dear Community, I have a CDT by the name 'Fund' which contains a field 'amount' of type 'Number (Integer)'. Due to business reasons, now I have to change this field's type to 'Number (Decimal)' in this CDT. Which means in the backend, I have to change the datatype for this field from 'int(11)' to 'decimal(19,2)'. When I update the CDT by changing the field's data type, it creates a newer version of it. All the future process instances will reflect the newer version of CDT which is just fine. But in production, I have around 1000 process instances which has a user input task with this CDT as one of the inputs. This means all the live process instances before the deployment will continue to remain on the older version of the CDT which is 'Fund^1'. What is best / recommended / work around approach to handle the in-flight process instances in this scenario? Thanks, Arun

Hi I , have configure the Sent Receive Messages but they just stop to work. I don't think is the configuration it seems that I have conflict with it in the server, so I want to ask is there is a way by analyzing logs to see what is the issue. We are still on 18.1  with the last package for that version. BR,Natasa

Hi, I have a read only selection grid that contains records. I would like to select certain records and remove them from the grid, is this possible? How would I do it in the interface? Thanks

I have the Outputs tab of a Write to Data Store Entity setup where AC!StoredValues is stored as the process variable (PV) that I'm inputting. The data is successfully written into the DB, but the id is not saved back to the PV. I don't see a "Modify Variable" or similar activity being done after/during the Write to DSE action. As a workaround, I've made a custom output to store ac!StoredValues.id into a new pv!id. This works and I use a script to save it to the original PV. Am I missing something in my attempt to save the entire AC!StoredValues into my PV? Like does it need to be cast or only work with certain datatypes?
