Hello,  I have a use case where end users must be able to define "functions" that will be applied to values defined in the application.  I was wondering if it was possible for the end users to write an Appian function with SAIL format in a paragraphField and then "translate" the generated text into an actual function ? Is it possible maybe thanks to Appian Java API ?  Thank you in advance, Claire

Hi - Is there any easy way to compare Appian DB Table schemas from different environments just like other Appian Objects we do Compare and Deploy?

Before deploying I want to find out difference between two environments so that i can prepare script to deploy the changes. Thanks. 

Please can someone have a look and tell me  what I am doing wrong here ?

I would like to automatically regression-test an Appian App. The idea is to populate a dynamic, nested, conditional Appian UI with minimal to no changes on Appian side. Test cases have to be defined in AzureDevOps and using Selenium is considered an option. So far, I see two alternatives: I could image to define a REST-API for the corresponding form, if that is straight forward. By straight forward I mean that only a few lines of configuration on Appian side are allowed. The challenge is the current architecture of the interface with submit-buttons on a parent form and data to be entered in an interface nested inside the parent UI via rule-input. We tried to use Selenium (without any changes on Appian side), but the trouble is to identify the buttons or to populated the pull-down menus etc. since all elements have names which change between deployments of environments, as far as I can tell. Is there a way to inject an additional, constant, user-defined CSS-property to each an every el
