Hi All, In MySQL/MariaDB, we have an option to default the column value while creating a table(For Example createdBy: System; createdOn: CURRENT_TIMESTAMP). In Appian, if we set those values to NULL and pass them to DB, those default values get initialized and stored in the appropriate table. This works fine in MySQL and MariaDB However, Whilst tries the same in SQL Server, I don't see that the default values get triggered and stored into the fields. Should I add anything else for SQL Server DB? Did anyone face this issue before? Note: I don't want to set the values in Appian and store them in DB. Instead, I need to handle it DB end. Thanks in advance.

Good morning, We have an interface in which we are using!

Recently one of the dev updated the Excel tools plugin from 2.0.2 to new 2.2.13 version in Appian and this has lead to breakage of the Export CDT To Excel smart service. can anyone suggest what can be done to resolve this issue?Note:  We are on Cloud. We tried to use the new Export Data Store to Excel plugin however it does not support XLSM files. EDIT: Export Data Store to Excel also does not support alias with space in it. this makes it hard to generate excel files in user friendly manner. We use the generated files to upload to a system and it requires header to be in specific manner and does not accept with different headers.   Example:       Previously: First Name      Now: First_Name Thanks,Bhushan.

In creating new group, I have recently created an application with the new group name Acme All Users, but I deleted my entire application and wanted to start over. Now, when I create the same application name and same group name as Acme All Users, I see the error saying Name already exist. Where do I go to totally delete this group so I can start from scratch.

Hi All, In one of my POC I am having requiremnt of converting a document(jpg,pdf) into base64 and storing the base64 in Database. I am using Base64 to Database Services to store the document, but instead of base64 string it is storing Appian ID itself. Below are the screenshots of smart service node and database design. Any comments on this would be appreciated. Thanks Table Structure (also I tried Varbinary, blob data type for base64)

We are having a requirement where we are getting values from an external application via a webAPI. In the web API we are casting the data into a CDT.The value we receive from the application would be something like.{"person" : {"name": "Shaun","age" : 27},"address" : {"addressLine" : "24-Wall Street","city":"London"}}.After this we are casting this into person and address CDT in appian and passing to the process model. If the person and address values is empty we would be receiving the data like {"person" : {},"address" :{}}.Now when I am casting this null Data inside CDT, this is getting casted and passed in process model like [name=null;age=null][addressLine=null;city=null]. I need to perform a null check in process model on these values which is getting failed.Also when I am checking the length of "person" or "address" its showing as 1 instead of 0.

Hello All,  Email notifications (process alerts and emails from send email node) are not working.This was working fine and users were receiving emails until last week. but they are not receving any  emails for the last two days. There was no change in custom.properties file alsoDid someone face a similar issue?

I'd like to create an expression rule that will set the branding for logo, logo alt text, and/or favicon to either a value specified by expression rule, or (if that is null) the default Appian graphics/alt-text.  Also...if the logo/favicon is saved as a document, is this how you display the correct image? todocument(<id as provided by expression rule>)  In essence, I want to write the Expression for the branding as something like these lines: a!defaultValue(todocument(rule!getBranding(attribute: "logoImage")), <Appian's logo's ID>) a!defaultValue(todocument(rule!getBranding(attribute: "logoAltText")), <Appian's default alt-text for the logo>) So, basically--if the rule!getBranding with its specified ri!attribute comes up empty, use the Appian defaults for each of logo image, logo alt-text, and favicon.

Hello dear APPIAN community,  I am pretty new to this platform, so I'm still figuring out the capacity of APPIAN and its limitations. But there is something that I would like to confirm before I invest more effort. Is it possible to integrate SHAREPOINT SPACES just like SHAREPOINT? If not, what would I need to do to  have a 3d viewer that the user can click and interact with on a APPIAN based app. All on the web application platform (and not mobile) of course. I would really appreciate if anyone could give me an answer or at least some directions as to how would I be able to achieve this. Thanks in advance. 

I had an idea for how to make PM-generated Emails look on-brand, but I don't know if it's currently able to be implemented. Basically, storing the colors, logo, anything that can be defined with an Expression on the Site designer page in a database table.  Retrieve these branding attributes using an expression rule, and use them to display the Site appropriately. Also be able to access up-to-date branding using the same expression rule, which can be saved as a PV and thus influence an expression-based Send Email Smart Service. As I see it, storing Brand attributes in the database also allows for easy updates to a site's look, while making the transition seamless for any branded emails.  So my question is--can a site's properties/attributes be accessed using any native (or plugin) function?  I was also looking around to see if I can find the UUID of the site itself, but I can only seem to find the UUID for a Constant version of that Site.

I have an interface that has four dropdown components with dynamic choiceValues based on a query. When a value in the first dropdown is selected, it filters the values of the second dropdown. The second dropdown filters the third and the third dropdown filters the fourth. Each dropdown is disabled until a value is selected from each of the previous dropdowns. This works perfectly in the interface.  However, in the process model there is an option to "edit existing equipment" that will query a database and fill in fields in the interface, possibly including the four dropdown components mentioned above. When I test this process, I get an error that seems to be telling me that a query for one of the dropdowns in the interface is returning null when it shouldn't.  Hopefully this makes sense, please feel free to ask for clarification on anything. I have included the relevant code below. Thank you in advance for your help! Here is the query in the interface that gene
