Hi  We have just upgraded the Appian version from 21.4 to 23.3 and we have an issue with the date format exported to excel coming from record types, in the prior version this issue was not happening, does anyone has experienced the same issue? 21.4 version-correct format 23.3 version - incorrect format by looking the format in the excel is taking it as if it was a text but this is the logic behind the date column: if( a!isNullOrEmpty(fv!row['recordType!{92d1b022-5508-4130-83d7-528677bb837e}ACH CASE.fields.{b79811e6-b6ad-4b38-b04d-134b4d22d656}createdOn_dateTime']), todate(null), todate( text( fv!row['recordType!{92d1b022-5508-4130-83d7-528677bb837e}ACH CASE.fields.{b79811e6-b6ad-4b38-b04d-134b4d22d656}createdOn_dateTime'],"mm/dd/yyyy hh:mm AM/PM" ) )) we are just converting the date and time to date and when we do that the format gets reflected as text in the excel which was not happening in version 21.4

Hi All, I have noticed this behavior when we are passing list of nulls to a!isNullorEmpty it returns false. I know there are ways we can handle this but is this something fundamentally wrong with this function or not. (I know it is hundred times better than isnull() but still curious)

Hello, I'm new to Appian and currently exploring its features. I'm looking to implement a feature where users can upload Excel files and view the data contained within those files.

Greetings, fellow devs I am now working on a Node.js project in the Appian environment, where we are using Mongoose and MongoDB to handle database operations. Our major aim is to efficiently manage CRUD (Create, Read, Update, and Delete) actions that alter data within our Appian apps. However, we've faced some complexities along the road and might benefit from community thoughts to negotiate these obstacles efficiently. Scenario Overview: We're integrating Mongoose, the MongoDB object modeling tool, with our Appian apps to interface with our MongoDB database. Our project requires managing a variety of datasets and performing CRUD operations to enable data manipulation within our Appian processes. I've included a piece of code that demonstrates our current approach to doing CRUD operations using Mongoose and MongoDB in the Appian environment. Let us dive into understanding these difficulties and developing solutions together. // Sample code demonstrating CRUD operations wit

Instead of sending out an email using the process model "Alert" setting, I am trying to integrate with Pager Duty API. Is there any way we can call an integration object (to integrate with Pager Duty) so that we publish an event to Pager Duty instead of sending out an email? Right now the email is been sent out and it integrates with pager duty in that fashion but our preference is to skip sending email all together.

So I have an interface that has links to documents that have been uploaded. However, the documents don't exist until after they've gone through a process model (or rather they're a temp file that you can't reference at that time). What I'd like to do is disable those links if the documents haven't been put into the system yet, but I am not sure how to check to see if the document exists in the system yet or not. Is there a function or something that can test a doc id to see if it's valid or not?

Hi I have a process model to create a workflow..In the first interface,the user can enter details and they can clone the workflow ‘n’ times by clicking on clone button..After clicking “submit” button,the next page comes to update each workflow by adding some levels by clicking each one.Suppose if we update the first workflow and then clicked on update button, it will show green colour.But when clicking on second workflow and click update after provided the levels,,it shows ”action completed” without giving the green colour. For example,I have cloned the workflow 2 times,after clicking on submit button ,it then moves to update page..so if I update the first workflow it will get updated,but when trying to update second it shows action completed..This is happening if we put number of clones as 10 or any number as first workflow only gets updated. In the process model,it is updating correctly for the first workflow..In the second workflow,it got break in

My customer wants to use the chat function. We are considering linking the chat system from an external system, but we would like to complete the exchange of messages within Appian as much as possible. Basically, the interaction is one-on-one, and it is assumed that the user will initiate a chat when making an inquiry to the administrator. Please let me know if the above chat function can be realized within Appian.

In our Appian Application a form is being submitted through a process mode and after the process it is automatically being redirected to home page. I want to keep the user in the same page after the submission. Is there any way to do it?

Current Behaviour: a!localVariables( Â%A0 local!test: {}, Â%A0 if( Â%A0 Â%A0 condition: local!test > 0, Â%A0 Â%A0 valueIfTrue: { Â%A0 Â%A0 Â%A0 "My First Message", Â%A0 Â%A0 Â%A0 "My second Message", Â%A0 Â%A0 Â%A0 "My third message" Â%A0 Â%A0 }, Â%A0 Â%A0 valueIfFalse: "My false Message" Â%A0 ) ) Given the above code when the local!test value is {1} the output is {"My First Message"} when the local!test value is {1,2} the output is {"My First Message", "My second Message"} when the local!test value is {1,2,3,4} the output is {"My First Message", "My second Message", "My third message", "My First Message"} If you set the condition to be local!test < 0 you will see similar unintuitive behaviour. Expected behaviour: an error to be thrown stating that you can not do a comparison between a value and a list.

Hi, We have a requirement to expose an interface to users who don't have an account in Appian. While this could be solved using Appian Portals, we are in an on-premise environment, and I've read that Portals are not available in these on-premise environments. Is there any alternative that works similarly to Portals for on-premise environments? Thanks in advance
