Hi Appian Experts, I have a requirement where i want to launch external system directly from related action without user interaction/extra click on UI. External system should launch soon as i click on related action.  Creating UI task with giving safe link will not work here as user interaction  not required, also, webContentField component will not work here because launch URL is not safe url(it's http url) . Any quick help will be highly appreciated.

Hello,  I have an interface with a grid which has a column called actual time which is an editable field and multiple entries can be added. Suppose i enter 3 rows and there are 3 values for actual time say 5, 10,15 and if i edit the first value ie 5, a text box should be displayed where a comment can be added.  So if any of the row values is edited, the text box is displayed.  TIA!!

All of the sudden a client appears be getting this error when trying to start processes.  "The Process Model cannot be started. There is no published version". This happened in a test environment. upon inspection of the process model it seems like the PM was missing the latest versions as if someone came in and deleted them and now there were only a few old unpublished versions. A quick solution was to save and published the PMs in the dev environment and deploying them again. However, I don't know what might have caused this problem? Has anyone run into this problem and found the cause for it? Some pointers would be helpful to ensure that this doesn't happen again. Is there a log registry I can look that would information about this issue?

Hi all, We have a Site based application with a main home page that displays information about processes. When a process flow ends, then the main home page is displayed. The process is modifying some values that should be displayed in the main home page. However, when the process ends the main home page is displayed with the old values. Only when we refresh the browser the page displays the new values. The home page is reading the values from the database. We have verified that the variables are declared inside a a!localVariables() block. We have also tried to use a!refreshVariable() with no luck. Does anyone have any idea to automatically load the new values?

I am having difficulty with adding a Start Process smart service to a Process model.  My scenario is that I have a process model that runs an interface that gives the user an option of 3 things and enters their selection into a rule input, ri!userinput, then I have an XOR that amaryllises the value and directs them to the  smart service they selected and I want that to start the process model for the selection, like one is an "Customer Maint" interface, one is a "Contact Maint" and one is an "Create Event" interface. I wanted to do this via the Process Model instead of the interface but is it even an option or should I just complete in the interface?

Hello community, Is it possible to add values from a list of string of string to fields where string 1 of the list maps to field 1 of the CDT, sting 2 to field 2 of the CDT etc.When I pass the list of strings to the CDT as a parameter in the expression it passes al the strings to field 1.I want to make the expression dynamic, so for example looping through the list of strings and add them to CDT field 1, next CDT field 2 etc.I do not know how to set the values of the CDT fields based on their index. All the fields in the CDT are of type text.To illustrate for example CDT Alphabet with fields Letter1: "", Letter2: "", Letter3:"".List of String{("A"),("B"),("C") etc.Now I want for the length of the string, adding A B C to Letter1, Letter2, Letter3 using a Loop.

How to define the expression rule for site accent color? what should we consider for decisioning? As per the system,  The accent color is used to highlight key interface elements. Avoid grayscale colors (black, white, and gray) that are similar to colors used for interface elements and green/red that are similar to colors used to indicate positive/negative values If I want to conditionalize the colors for links, grid row highlight, etc, how should we define the conditions?
