Hi all, I have a requirement of creating multiple tasks at a time when a new case is added based on a dropdown field. I have used a!writerecords function and have achieved creating multiple records at a time but I have to related the newly created multiple records with a single ID. I tried it with local variable, tried with expression rule and tried with a rule input of integer field. I have saved new primary key of the case in a local variable and later saved it in integer rule input using a!save in button. In interface level it was showing that the value is added but the it is not being saved in database.

Is it somehow possible to create a map or dictionary using variables for the keys? For example, is there some way for me to do something like a!map(localvar1:local!var2) to make a user generated map? Or maybe use a foreach loop over a 2d array to convert it to a map? 

My use case is to have the ability to add, remove and reorder items in a list similar to what we see for defining the columns in a grid in interface designer. Is something like this possible using SAIL? I would think so, but having a hard time envisioning this. Is it a series of cards with rich text-based links to manipulate the positioning? Thanks in advance.

Hello, I have the following question: while watching an Appian training course the instructor used the a!dropdownFieldByIndex() component. I tried to search for it inside the interface palette when in design mode but I was not able to find it anywhere. Is there a place or a doc that contains a list of all these hidden components? Besides the a!dropdownFieldByIndex() component I know some others are a!multipleDropdownFieldByIndex(), a!radioButtonFieldByIndex(), a!checkboxFieldByIndex() and a!timeDisplayField(), but it would be great to discover more if any. Many Thanks!

Hi all, I have a requirement of adding documents which has to be related to a case.I have tried it using record actions of document by giving a dropdown of cases to relate the document to the case selected. But I have to do it without using dropdown .So I have tried it using start process link in cardlayout.It was working fine but after triggering the process it has to go to previous page where i have an option as documents grid in summary page, but in my case it was navigating to the previous tab in the same summary page which has another grid in it. I am using start process link in 2nd button but it was navigating to the 1st button in the same page.Is it possible to open the start process link in dialog box? or Is it possible to add documents and directly relate them to the case without using dropdown? Kindly refer the below file where it contains the screen recording of the exact issue that i am facing. [View:/cfs-file/__key/communityserver-discussions-components-files/13/startpro

Our team has been having a difficult time figuring this out. I'll try and do my best explain clearly. We have a child interface where you add a creditor and a debtor. The field level validations are working fine in the form itself. The validations I'm referring to here are, there is a debtor section where the debtors are added to an array rule input. Same with creditors. This interface is called in the main wrapper interface where the "Next", "Back", etc buttons are located. The requirement is to be, **only when a user clicks "Next"** is it supposed to check for page level validations. Meaning once a user clicks "Next" it'll check to see if there is both a creditor and debtor added. If it finds that there is no debtor added, for example, an error message will display to the user saying "You must have at least one debtor and one creditor added to proceed," and the page count will not progress.  We're having trouble f

Hello! Nice to meet you! [emoticon:c4563cd7d5574777a71c318021cbbcc8] I want to take the Appian Analyst Certification exam, but I have some questions. I have already done the Appian Analyst learning path and I have done the practice test several times to train it. Since English is not my native language, I am a little worried. Is the official exam very different from the practice test questions? Or are they more complex? I have more problems with the multi-choice questions. Do you recommend anything else besides the Appian Analyst course? Thank you so much. Have a nice day.

Hello there! I have a related action on my records which are displayed in a grid. Is it possible to hide the icon starting the action immediately after the user clicks on it?
