Hi team, I have a gridfield where a gridcolumn has a value who's character count can go upto 2500. I want to implement a functionality where i display only 200 chars and show a link "more". When I click on the link, either a popup appears where the entire 2500 char text is displayed or another site appears to display the whole value. How can I achieve this? I tried to use safelink, but I am not sure how to configure the uri to display the text. Can anyone please help me out. So far, i have achieved this,a!gridColumn( label: "Enter 2500 char text", value: a!richTextDisplayField( value:{a!richTextItem( text: left(fv!row.textValue,255) ), a!richTextItem( text:"..more", link: a!safeLink( ) ) } ) )

I have an editable grid in the site where I want to upload a document from the ‘Add Document’ link. It doesn’t work on the site, but it works in the object. 

I went through the previous threads, and from a discussion 11 months ago, it was mentioned that Appian doesn't support dark mode. Are there any updates or changes on this now? I noticed that Appian does have a dark mode for sites ("Site Color Schemes - Appian 23.1"). The challenge arises in our application (and likely most applications), as we have multiple interfaces. I’ve seen many people refer to using browser extensions for this. So, my question is: What’s the best way to incorporate Appian's dark mode into industry-level applications in 2025? If its Browser Extension, what is the safest Browser Extension?

Hi Everyone,I am trying to embed an image in an HTML email template. My approach is to first convert the document to a Base64 string and then pass that Base64 value to the HTML templateHowever, the image is not rendering in the received email.

The David Byrne Big Suit is one of the most distinctive costumes ever associated with a music performance. Its dramatically oversized shape turned a simple gray suit into a memorable cultural image. Worn by David Byrne during Talking Heads' celebrated performances, the outfit demonstrated how clothing can become an important part of a musician's artistic identity.The famous look is especially connected with Stop Making Sense, the acclaimed Talking Heads concert film. Even today, the image of Byrne performing in the enormous suit remains instantly recognizable among music and fashion fans.What Makes the David Byrne Big Suit Unique?The main feature of the David Byrne Big Suit is its exaggerated proportions. Instead of following the natural shape of the wearer, the jacket creates a large, boxy silhouette with dramatically broad shoulders.The trousers are also loose and oversized, helping maintain the unusual proportions throughout the outfit. The relatively simple gray color keeps attenti

Hello, I am working on an automation process where I use Appian RPA to login to a website and download an excel file (XLS format).My initial plan was to use “Import Excel to Database” smart service (Excel Tools plugin) to import the data directly into the required table. Unfortunately, this is not working as this smart service only works on XLSX and not XLS.  I then tried converting XLS to CSV and then use “Import CSV to Database” smart service (Excel Tools plugin). But even here the file type allowed in XLSX.  Finally, since I have Appian RPA in the scene, I tried opening the excel using “Open Workbook” operation and use “Save Workbook As” operation to convert it into an XLSX file. But this was only changing the name of the file and not the type.Can anyone point me in the direction that I should be taking in Appian to get the data from the XLS file into the database table? Regards,Deepak 

Hi Everyone,I’m doing some hands on practice by myself, where I face some issues while mapping the record type into a PV. As per the documentation it says we can map record type as PV however when I’m searching my record type while configuring the pv, I’m not seeing my record type. Can someone clarify and guide me whether the action which I’m doing is correct or wrong. Please refer to the SS I have attached. 1st one is my record type. 

Hello,I would like to ask about passing context information from a shared interface to a Record Action create form.BackgroundWe have a common Record Type that is shared and used by multiple applications.We created a common maintenance interface for this Record Type.  Interface: COMMON_recordTypeMaintEach application embeds this common interface to manage its own records.  Interface: APP_recordTypeMaintFor example:  COMMON_recordTypeMaint(    appName: "APP1"  )The calling application passes its application name (appName) to the common interface.RequirementWithin COMMON_recordTypeMaint, users can create, update, and delete records.When a user clicks Create, a Record Action is used to open the create form for the Record Type.The Record Type contains an appName field, and we would like this field to be automatically populated with the appName value that was passed from the calling application.For example:APP_recordTypeMaint↓XCOMMON_recordTypeMaint(appName: "APP1")↓Create Record Action↓Crea

Hi, We are facing a production issue in an application with a large volume of data. We display case counts using Expression Rules (ERs) and category-wise metrics using a Record Type-based Bar Chart. Although we apply filters on a few columns, when users select a 1-year date range, the queries process a significant amount of data and the ERs fail with:"Memory threshold reached during output conversion"The bar chart performance is also impacted due to the large dataset. We are looking for best practices to handle large-scale reporting and dashboard aggregation in Appian. Has anyone implemented an effective approach for such scenarios in production? Any suggestions or recommendations would be greatly appreciated.

I have worked across various applications. In my first application, we had 2,3 query rules for same record type but each serving a different purpose depending upon the field being queried or the amount of data being passed. In another project, we have a generic rule for each record type which is being used whenever we want to query the data. In one more project, I have seen only one generic rule being used for all record types which in turn means even the record type is being passed dynamically. I want to understand which approach makes more sense, pros and cons and do we really need to modularize everything this much.

HI, Looking for some help, we are using richTextFieldWithTables plugin  to show HTML data inside an interface, this richTextFieldWithTables is inside a cardLayout as the section may repeat multiple times.Production users complained that the application is not showing completed data, it is appearing like below for them, please observe last word “Thanks”. In Dev environment it is working correctly, if anyone has faced similar issue or knows any steps to troubleshoot this it would be very helpful.I have already looked into online troubleshoot steps and everything looks fine as per it. 

 Hi all,During ongoing development, external application contents were accidentally added into a main application container using the add application contents option, significantly inflating the object count with foreign components and shared utilities.Before proceeding with cleanup, the goal is to confirm whether filtering by foreign prefixes and selecting "Remove from Application" solely detaches the container tag without altering published rules, impacting runtime execution for dependent models, or interfering with active changes in the environment.Note that there isn't a direct "Remove Application from Application" option available to undo this action in bulk. Any guidance on the safest workflow to prune these bulk-associated objects would be appreciated.Thanks!
