Hi Everyone,I want to add new value using custom picker field .Let's say , I have picker field name country and its having all country but not "XYZ".So how can we add it?

I have been facing an issue since I started working with Appian related to the behavior of Process Model labels when using multiple languages. Currently, Appian requires me to manually replicate the same labels across different languages, which is not efficient nor logical in my development environment. Although I understand that a large portion of the community primarily uses one language (English), my team operates in a multilingual setting, where developers have different language preferences. Given this context, it becomes necessary for me to enter the same label in another language to maintain clarity and understanding among my team members. However, this redundancy could easily be avoided if Appian implemented a feature allowing us to persist labels across multiple languages. A simple checkbox option like "use same labels for multiple languages" when creating a process model would greatly enhance our workflow by ensuring consistency and saving time. Moreover, the curre

We are using Appian DocCenter for document extractions, mainly pdfs. Sometimes for few pdfs preview is not appearing. But data is getting extracted fine. Did anyone faced this issue.

How to export data to excel in a grid with more than 50 columns? (grid source is database)? Please advise?

The Dynamic Letter Generation module uses multiple styletexteditors where users can select which sections should appear in the generated letter. There are no formatting issues in the final generated letter. However, in the preview section, there is a numbering issue where an extra number appears even though there are no additional <li> elements present.Please find the screenshot of the code below,

Hi everyone, I’m using to readexcelsheetpaging plugin to read the Excel sheet, one column having decimal values, the displayed value is rounded (around 2 decimal places), which differs from the actual raw value stored in the cell.   What I see: Excel cell shows: 9.79 Underlying value in the cell: 9.7881336 readexcelsheetpaging returns: 9.79 (display) Is there a way to read the actual value of a cell?

Team, We are getting .eml file from our mailbox which we pooling using outlook pooler. Now we have identified a plugin which captures the body of .msg file only. Is there anyway we can convert .eml to .msg in Appian? or any other way of reading .eml is available ?

Hi, Appian has now moved to a monthly release cycle starting with version 26.1. Based on version 26.2 is released on 27 February 2026, and the support expiration date for 26.1 is also 27 February 2026, I need clarity on whether an upgrade must be performed on the same day to remain fully supported. If a release includes functionality deprecations or removals that require remediation before upgrading, do we have a grace period to complete those changes? Our usual process involves upgrading non‑production environments first, performing thorough testing, and ensuring everything is stable before proceeding with the production upgrade. Given the support end date, do we need to perform upgrade all environments immediately without testing?

Hi Team, I have a requirement where a user clicks a document download link (using a!documentDownloadLink()), and the document downloads normally. However, I also need to capture some backend audit details, such as: isDocumentDownloaded = true Which user downloaded the document The date and time when the document was downloaded The challenge is that the user is only clicking the download link — there are no additional buttons or actions that trigger a process model or write to a database. I also understand that download links do not directly trigger process models or write events, so I cannot perform backend logging from the link itself. Is there a best way to achieve this requirement, or any recommended alternative pattern to track the user and timestamp when a document is downloaded? Any guidance, suggestions, or example patterns would be appreciated. Thanks in advance!

Recently, there was a production server outage, and several process instances went into an error state at an XOR gateway, showing the message “Work item cancelled.” We manually resumed the affected instances from a point after the gateway, and they continued running. However, when the flow reached the same XOR gateway again, the instances failed once more with the same cancellation message.

We are migrating some business users from macOS to Windows-based environments and need to convert Apple Mail data (EML/MBOX) into formats compatible with enterprise systems.

We're planning to implement end-to-end automation using Selenium and are facing challenges due to missing IDs on DOM elements for each control. Typically, web applications have unique IDs assigned to each control, which facilitates automation by allowing scripts to find and interact with controls to perform actions like clicking and sending keys. However, we haven't found a way to achieve this in Appian. Any guidance or assistance would be greatly appreciated.

Hello, I've noticed that the newer version of a!fromJson() parses DataTime value differently, which results in receiving a different date value than the one received. I am looking for a bullet-proof way of setting the correct timezone and receiving the original date. For example, the integration returns DateTime value like: "dateOfBirth":"1955-08-03T00:00:00+02:00" When using a!fromJson(), the resulting Map gets the value: dateOfBirth=02/08/1955 23:00 I've tried playing with local(), but the dates still get switched up if the hour values are close to midnight. The a!fromJson19_r2 still returns the correct date. Thanks for ¨your help!

Hey, I am having below use case and I just wanted to know how I can achieve this in appian.Outlook process -- If anyone sends you a email then you can reply back on top of the email. The old conversation will be seen below in the lastest email that you sent/received as a thread.In the similar way, I am sending an email in the process model when a request is been created from the UI. Upon certain time if I don't get response back from the email which I sent earlier, Then I need to reply to the same email which i sent earlier instead of sending a new email.I want the mails to be threaded as similar to the Outlook/Gmail.I have followed the below discusson and tried the solution, but no luck. I have appended "Re: ___" to the same subject line which i have sent initially upon request creation.[mention:2283fcb4f92743158057945acee45483:f586769b0822468ab7f3a94d480ed9b0]Any response on this would be greatly appreciated. Thanks in advance.

Hello everyone! Just a quick question,  how should I prepare for it? Is retaking the Appian Developer Learning Path quizzes enough, or should I practice with other types of tests as well? Any advice would be greatly appreciated! Thanks in advance!

I have a requirement where I'm having 5 dropdowns, based on the values (Multiple Selection) in first dropdown, the remaining dropdown values need get auto filtered out (Cascading Dropdowns). Is it possible to achieve? The one way of implementing is after multiple selections in first dropdown we need to keep a button and on click of button we can pass to next dropdowns. But without having button is it possible to achieve.

Hi team, I have a question regarding accessibility and semantic markup compliance. In several interfaces, users can enter information or interact with components such as radio buttons and dropdowns. For accessibility reasons, these interactive elements are required to be contained within a <form> element. Is there a way to achieve this without using a Form Layout?Currently, the top-level structure of the interface is built using a Header Layout, and I’d prefer not to refactor the entire layout if possible. Has anyone encountered a similar requirement or found a clean approach to handling this? Thanks in advance.
