Hi All, For any reason I can't imagine, if you run this instruction in a rule; fn!extract("<a>some text</a>","<a>","</a>") you will get {"some text"} as a result, which is what I expected. But if you run this one fn!extract("<p>some text</p>","<p>","</p>") you get nothing as result. Another example of this strange behaviour: fn!extract("<l>some text</l>","<",">") returns {"l","/l"}, which is fine fn!extract("<p>some text</p>","<",">") returns nothing, which is inexplicably to me Any idea on why is that happenning?. I've tested that on Appian v25.1 Regards!

We used type! to create local constants in case of CDT, but is there something similar for record types?

Hi Team, I am stuck at one point. If possible, please give your opinion. Requirements: I have a process model with a user interface. First, I started the process model and filled in some data, but I discarded the process, so the current process ended. However, the next time I trigger that process model, it should show the previously filled data, even though it was not stored in any database, as I discarded it in the first instance

TCN is a system used for auto-dialling customers in our use case.  Currently, TCN interfaces are used to auto-dial the customers and record the communications.

Hi All I am working on version 24.3! My scenario is, in the SITE provided to the users there is an Active Tasks page where user is shown the tasks as a link. On clicking the link; at the backend we have used a!startProcessLink() to start the appropriate Process Model with the required parameters.  We send a customised mail to user using Send E-mail smart service whenever a task gets assigned to them. The user wants the functionality that in that customised email, a link is provided for the task such that on clicking the link a task gets opened just like it gets opened from the SITE. I understand that a!startProcessLink() actually returns a Reaction Tree which Appian internally reads when we call the a!startProcessLink(). Wanted to check is there a way to handle the same scenario from the email such that on clicking the link in the email; the corresponding process gets started in Appian just like it happens from the SITE. Thanks in advance!!

So I want to be able for the user to add hyphens into their phone number(s) when entered into a form I have. Whenever I add hyphens to the phone number field it pushes the hyphens to the very front for some reason, like this but I want it to stay like this Here's my code a!textField( label: "Contractor's Phone Number", labelPosition: "ABOVE", value: ri!record['recordType!{d327a5dc-18d4-4ffd-8bdf-6a22b134677f}DS Contractor.fields.{f2502f28-185b-4cdb-87eb-56e09d28d249}conphoneNum'], saveInto: ri!record['recordType!{d327a5dc-18d4-4ffd-8bdf-6a22b134677f}DS Contractor.fields.{f2502f28-185b-4cdb-87eb-56e09d28d249}conphoneNum'], refreshAfter: "UNFOCUS", required: true, characterLimit: 12, validations: {} )

We are importing the SCIM User Management application provided by Appian on the market place:  [mention:f8e98d7fbd7245cbb0e4083fc4357870:f7d226abd59f475c9d224a79e3f0ec07]  The locale for that application is en_US. The locale for our Appian server is GB. We get the following error when trying to import:  Problems (1):processModel 0002e9c5-4ae7-8000-558d-3a4d983a4d98 "{en_US=SCIM Deactivate User}": An error occurred while creating processModel [uuid=0002e9c5-4ae7-8000-558d-3a4d983a4d98]: com.appiancorp.process.validation.ValidationException: Process Model is not valid.

Hi all, I am facing an issue related to data being refreshed in read-only grid. The issue is in my read-only grid, I have navigated to a different page say 21-30. But after certain interval i.e., 30 sec my grid page navigates back to 1-10 automatically. I have a configuration of refresh Interval of 30 sec in the read-only grid. Does the grid refresh configuration update only the grid data or it also impacts the current fv!pagingInfo of the grid? Reason to add refreshInterval was to update the grid data for user as soon as a new work item is created. BTW the data field is a recordtype which allows me to use certain other features of grid.

Hi, Can I have a button inside of a dropdown?  Thanks in advance

Appian Family,  Here is my Interface -- JR_InterfaceName 1) File Upload field in an interface >> Define the Target Folder with all correct permissions. 2) Submit Button: "submit" set to true. I have 2 scenarios here 1) Just the interface by itself is just working fine when I upload the file and click submit. It gets save to the target folder. 2) When the same interface is either called from another interface as rule (rule!JR_InterfaceName) it doesn't work. The file is not saved to the target folder. I am pretty sure the document object is there but it's just not available to either save in a target folder or for anything else. What is it that I am missing? is it an Appian shortfall/Issue? I am assuming that this is very basic need for almost everyone. 3) Just to play around further I called a Process Model using "saveinto" property of the button passing some dummy variables and the Document Uploaded from the upload control, The PM got call

Hello, I would like to know if there's a way to detect the User abandoning a session. The issue is that there are User Input Tasks that I lock to specific users when they accept them. I have a problem with the case where the User exits the form not by clicking the "EXIT" button, but by just closing the browser tab, which leaves the process running until timeout and the task remains locked. Is there a way, other than the timer, to determine whether the User had abandoned a session on a form? Thank you.

Hello, I have a template of type .docx in which certain checkboxes must be shown as 'Checked' or 'Not checked' depending on the value of some variables. I also have to, in case X variable exists, I have to show a block of the document and not show it if it is empty. I was trying to use MS Word 2007 from template but although it takes the fields correctly with the ###, I don't know how to implement those "if()" conditionals and make it work. I have also been looking at the Docx from dynamic template smart service of the 'Advanced Document Templaiting' plugin but I am not sure how to do the XML part and if I could do those "if()" with it. Has anyone had this problem or some solution available?Thanks in advance
