I created an expression rule for a summary view of a record. I have an expression rule calling all the information needed within a view DSE constant. When prompted with the error, after clicking "Okay," nothing happens. Is there a way to edit this rule without drilling into the record?Here is the modal:

Why we are using .@attributes.@anyAttribute._recordRef in the below rule and what is the need for using it in that rule. cons!COM_ENV_TXT_SITE_URL & cons!CLM_TXT_RECORD_URL & a!recordLink( recordType: cons!CLM_RECORD_REQUEST_DETAILS, identifier: ri!requestId, dashboard: ri!dashboard).@attributes.@anyAttribute._recordRef & "/view/" & ri!urlStub

Hello, As mentioned in the title, I have an SQL table that has a JSON type column. When I query it using a!queryEntity() in an expression rule, the resultant datasubset returns all the fields EXEPT the JSON field.  Do I need to take special measures when I deal with a!queryEntity() when it comes to JSON fields?  Thank you,

Hello, Is there a way in appian where I can search a list of dictionaries for any item in that list that meets a specific set of properties For example, say I have the following list: {{storeNum: "003", taskCode: "A", numOfTasks: 1292}, {storeNum: "003", taskCode: "B", numOfTasks: 5}, {storeNum: "003", taskCode: "C", numOfTasks: 8}, {storeNum: "003", taskCode: "D", numOfTasks: 5}, {storeNum: "004", taskCode: "A", numOfTasks: 208}, {storeNum: "004", taskCode: "C", numOfTasks: 2}}  Now, I want a function, that when I feed it a storeNum and taskCode, to return to me the numOfTasks if it exists in the list, and returns 0 (or any indication) when no dictionary items with the specified combination of storeNum and taskCode exists in the list.  for example, if I call function(storeNum: "003", taskCode:"A") it will return 1292 Ho

When you are trying to copy the value from the output of the expression editor the screen will sometimes scroll up to the top of the result set. I know this seems petty, but it makes it really hard sometimes to grab a value and requires multiple try's.  Pics posted as an example.

I encountered a problem with "There was an error in an expression in Process Model Properties at Process Start Form : Neither variable(s) nor rule(s) found: type" when I made a data connection between the interface and XX and then published it. variable(s) nor rule(s) found: type", and then there was a "Missing keyword syntax" message in the interface, and I don't know if there is a relationship between the two.

While looking at the grid I see that Mike posted the last comment. But when I navigate into the topic his post is not visible. I suspect is was deleted and the grid does not account for that. If so that seems kind of weird. 

In my community notification email weird stuff is happening.  Should I be seeing this token? lol

Any location to get some sample appian projects?

Does anyone know of an OTB or plug in to be able to use a USB compatible weight scale to populate a particular field in an interface?  Looking to be able to place items on a scale and it auto populate the weight similar to what UPS World Ship does. Thank you

What's the best practice for this use case? I have XML with the data similar to this: In DOCX document i would like to achieve this: So, how can I configure my template to loop inside the loop? I believe it would be something like this: But I'm missing this code for looping inside each employee tag.

I have a dashboard-like page that contains a grid with a list of all outstanding tasks. One of the columns in display is 'Task Status' and my aim is to distinguish the tasks that are currently being viewed/edited by someone. Since Appian OOTB status values don't provide such distinction (e.g. "In Edit"), I'd like to know if anyone has experience in implementing said capability or can offer pointers on how it can be done, if possible. Thanks in advance!

I have a form with two fields having similar names: Field 1 is "Initiating Location with code". This field is non editable field. Field 2 is "Initiating Location". It's a drop-down field. With fixture.populateFieldWith("Initiating Location","Africa") Appian Selenium API is not doing anything, It looks like it's trying to set value "Africa" in Field 1 but since, it's non-editable, nothing is happening. I also tried with field index it doesn't work either. fixture.populateFieldWith("Initiating Location[51[","Africa") AND fixture.populateFieldWith("[51]","Africa") is not working. Please suggest an alternate approach.

Hi community, I am wondering how the following use case will affect recourses and/or if there is a better way to approach it.I have to fetch several date from a JSON respons where the data I need is stored in multiple and long JSON paths, some 8 levels deep.there is some kind of root path to begin with that starts with the local variable that contains the total respons. e.g. local!totalRespons.result.body.serverInfo (root path) then refer to this root using a local variable named local!root. then the response has two main "branches" person and company.  So I could make two variable local!person: local!root.person. and local!company: local!root.company. I can continue to define the local variables this way multiple levels deep. This way in my opinion the code is easy to read and is easer to fetch data using short paths, same reason for using dot notation opposed to using index .But in this approach all this variables depend upon each other but the values all depend on the
