Is it possible to validate that an input is of type email, so that if the user enters something that is not an email, a warning can be showed?

Hello all, the subject may not be a good summary of what I'm looking for, so here's a bit more context for this posting. I need to create a set of user interfaces, each of which serves a specific purpose in an application. But a lot of these UIs share similar functionalities (e.g., Approve/Reject decision, Doc upload, Confirmation, etc.) that I'd like to turn into reusable "parts" that will become part of a parent "wrapper" interface object. So, the idea is to always use the parent UI object--this holds common elements such as a page title--and pass in an ID as a rule input, which will be used to determine which of the reusable parts will be displayed within the parent UI. During my online search on this topic, I found this Community posting and this blog entry by [mention:a11f77a729fb4db2af76b09948583328:e9ed411860ed4f2ba0265705b8793d05] to be somewhat relevant to my needs. But it seems that Appian at some point s

Is there an option in Appian that may allow me to mass delete rule inputs placed in my interface in Appian? There seems to be no option but having to resort to deleting each rule input one by one which is a little time consuming. 

We have a handful of process instances not archiving: 1. Process model's data management is set to archiving 3 days after completion or cancellation, and there are no previous versions of the process model object 2. Instance shows up in monitoring with a green checkmark and all nodes in Process Node under Process Details are completed 3. Nothing shows up under Current Tasks, Quick Tasks, or Sub-Process 4. It looks like the process was manually restarted (start node in the middle of process history) - this restart did successfully run until End Node. End Node also finished at the same time as another node.  Was just curious if this was expected behavior or something that needs more investigation.

Currently, after submitting a form, a new form appears with the previous values for some of the fields , how to fix this issue

Hi Team, I have a group Picker field and there is a condition that if mkv = 'mk-3475' by default it should select a group called Keytruda writers. The users who is working on this interface cannot remove this group but they can add more groups along with this.  Can some one help how I can achieve this. a!pickerFieldGroups( required: true, label: "Assignee(s)", helpTooltip: if( and( or( ri!lrrf['recordType!{a8fd253d-0e45-428b-af5f-cdd4c2b27a87}RGRACSLBL LRRF.fields.{57e16ccd-ed38-46b5-9fb7-8f5cfca177c9}reviewType'] = cons!RGRACSLBL_LRRF_REVIEW_TYPES[1], ri!lrrf['recordType!{a8fd253d-0e45-428b-af5f-cdd4c2b27a87}RGRACSLBL LRRF.fields.{57e16ccd-ed38-46b5-9fb7-8f5cfca177c9}reviewType'] = cons!RGRACSLBL_LRRF_REVIEW_TYPES[2] ), ri!lrrf['recordType!{a8fd253d-0e45-428b-af5f-cdd4c2b27a87}RGRACSLBL LRRF.fields.{2ebc42d8-fe25-490b-879a-dcf755894066}country'] = cons!RGRACSLBL_EUROPEAN_UNION ), cons!RGRACSLBL_CONS_LRRF_GLL_HELPER,

Hi, I have a process model with an Export DSE to Excel smart service and it exports to an Excel file stored in a  folder dedicated for this functionality in my application. During QA testing, 2 different basic users who are in the same parent group and the group has Viewer access for the folder security. One user can successfully download the exported Excel file, while the other user's process instance gets the folder security error "The specified Save in Folder doesnt exist or you do not have enough privileges to access it ". I resolved it by setting the Export DSE to Excel smart service's assignment to "whoever designed the process model" but still would like to understand why 2 basic users will see different behaviour in the process when that node is set to "whoever started the process" as the assignment. TIA

Hello, I have the following validations on a file upload. When I upload a wrong extension for testing, it is giving me a completely different validation message than what I have in my code and I'm not sure where it's getting it from. Also, it looks like each time I upload a new file, the earlier validation message does not get replaced with the new one and I have no point of reference to see where this is happening, if anyone knows how to fix these two issues I'd really appreciate it. Here is the code. For reference, the constant being used (cons!GF_FILE_EXTENSIONS_UTILITY_PACKAGE_ARTIFACTS) has an array of all valid extensions (pdf, jpg, png, etc.)

Hello Appian enthusiasts, I am trying to improve an internal deployment process, and one thing that pop up is the need to update "Group Attributes" in every environment, because we are using SAML Sync. I know Stefan already published an awesome article proposing a solution (SAML Group Sync – Appian Rocks). However, it is for applications starting from scratch. In my case the pieces are already setup. Then, I couldn't find in the documentation a way to use the Customization File for that (Managing Import Customization Files - Appian 24.2). Is there a way to update the group attribute during the deploy or am I asking too much from the Customization File capabilities? Thanks in advance for all!

Hi Everyone , I am getting an error in write to record node in the process model. we had relationship between two records, the table name of the parent  record was modified and it was throwing an error in Process model. telling: table does not exist  "The table name(old table name) " ,later the parent record was removed from application ,and the relationship is also removed. Even now I am getting the same error. when I am not even referring that record ,I am getting an error saying the older table name does not exist ,the table name is modified and record is removed ,why am I facing the error still? Pls let me know the solution

This is my recordtype: This is the interface's creation rule input. EPT_Order_Status_RT is a Recordtype and it is showing up.

It's common practice to store the Appian username to the database for the createdBy, updatedBy, assigned, and similar fields. It's easy to handle in Appian to support search and filter capabilities when referencing those fields in a record type. But occasionally an associate has a name change, which subsequently causes their Appian username to change, since it's often their email address or something similar. That change disrupts the different features that depend on the username to match in Appian. At my current client, we're trying to mitigate that disruption by storing the UUID for each user instead. It's easy to use the People Functions plug-in to derive all of the user's information from that UUID. But, search, filters, and sorting will use the UUID. I tried remedying that by creating a custom record field, but it doesn't allow the user() function (or any plug-in function) to be called from the expression. How can I do this without resorting to a CDT an

Hey ,  Is it possible to update a constant with a array value using update constant smart service ? If yes ,then how ? Thanks , Bisheswar

Hi there! I'm facing this timeout issue - "The amount of time allocated for the completion of an unattended activity was insufficient to allow the activity to complete" in process model SFTP Smart Service. This issue occurs in the last instance of 20+ iterated instances and it resolves as soon as I retrigger the node. That last instance has only 4.87 KB JPG file to transfer. Anyone faced such kind of issue and how did you resolved?

Can anyone let me know if there is a way to update the group security using the Create Group smart service or any other method? Currently, my functionality requires me to create multiple groups with a single click. While this process successfully creates the groups, it automatically adds me as an admin to each group. I need to remove the creator’s name from the security settings. If you have any solutions or suggestions for this issue, please let me know.

It is a FormLayout with submit button, that works as a standalone: validation before the startprocess is fired. However, if I make it an interface called from a record view, it stops working: the process starts without the validation being done (basic "required" info).Here is the simplified code for the form: a!formLayout( contents: { a!columnsLayout( columns: { a!columnLayout( contents: { a!textField( label: "Numéro article", labelPosition: "ADJACENT", value: ri!record['recordType!{b3cc31cc-1595-401f-b13c-16b953dd1f5b}ED Projet.fields.{b0296e3d-29b7-42e8-acd8-a99e9fd26649}budgetPrevisionnel'], saveInto: ri!record['recordType!{b3cc31cc-1595-401f-b13c-16b953dd1f5b}ED Projet.fields.{b0296e3d-29b7-42e8-acd8-a99e9fd26649}budgetPrevisionnel'], required: true ), },

Hi Champs, I have a map value having multiple key and value pair. Now I want to check for a value which exists in one or more key. So I guess the only way to do that is to iterate over the keys in the map.  How can I achieve the same. As of my knowledge, for each works for no of map not for no of key/value pair in a map.

Hi all, I'm a beginner of Appian, and I am required to show data in a record type by using editable grid in an interface. May I know how to do it? If I use "read-only" grid, it is easy to show the data from record type, but I cannot do it by using an editable grid.. I've tried to look for a document in https://docs.appian.com/suite/help/24.2/Editable_Grid_Component.html#related-patterns, but I could not find it. I need your help! Thank you in advance, Yuki

Hello,I hope you can help me.I have a gried Field with a record Type as the data source (record A), which at the same time is based on a SQL table. Every row has a unique value of its primary key (request_id). Some of the columns of the grid are displaying values which are not from the main source record, but from another record with a one-to-many relationship.This second record (record B) is also based on a SQL table.  The relationship between them is through request_id. Because of this, I have included record B within the "relatedRecordData" parameter of the "a!gridField". I have stablished as well a limit of 1, and a descending sort field based on the date. This way, for every a_id, I only display the value of the latest row in record B (even if there are more rows with different values).This is working completely find. My problem comes when I try to add filters within "a!recordData" > "filters" . The moment I add a fil

I want to learn the most efficient way to create groups for markets,so that I don’t have to spend a lot of time recreating the same groups for 8 markets, want to implement group permissions for multiple markets at once.I know we have smart service to create groups and also we have plugin called Peoples functions plug-in. Do we have any other way ?

We recently pushed deployed an interface from our development environment into our preproduction environment. A part of this interface is a document upload that then uses an imageField component to render the an uploaded heat map image. The component and interface worked as expected in development but in preproduction the image fails to render. We have checked things like security even though we noticed while logged in as admins. We tested using a small-scale interface and experienced the same behavior. I'm not sure what could be the discrepancy at this point. I'll upload some screenshots for clarity.
