Hi everyone, I have a use case where I need to send files to external system for validation. I'm submitting the form which is chained to itself, so that files are persisted in the Appian file system and then I'm sending this to an external system. User gets to see the progress percentage.So the problem is when Appian is very very slow ( due to other colleagues playing around, Appian internal apis are taking some time to write it  down. Any way I can check file exist in actual so that I can have some sort of delay retries?

We are trying to enter a decimal value into a!floatingPointField(), where the datatype is Number(Decimal) and applying rounddown(value,2) to limit the decimal values to 2 places based on the requirement we recieved. This is being done in editable grids. But it seems that random numbers keep appearing after the decimal for the numbers. (47.3 shows as 47.3000000004, etc.). This case is specifically occurring for only certain numbers in certains fields, such as 47.300909 shows as 47.3000000004 only in 1 particular field for the a specific number starting with 47.30x.. If we enter 47.32x, it will correctly round down to 47.32. We tried using round(), roundup(), rounddown(), floor() functions also, but it keeps occurring atleast in 1 row in any one of our grids. What might be the reason behind it and is there any fix??

Hello, I am encountering a recurring validation issue while attempting to install version 24.2 of the local Appian application on my computer. Despite thorough checks, the problem persists during the configuration validation process. I have verified the following: SQL Database and Driver: MySQL 8.0 with InnoDB engine, connector: mysql-connector-java-5.1.49-bin. System Variables: Correctly definded. Configuration Files: The custom.properties and tomcatResources files are set up identically to a successful 23.4 installation on my computer (with the folder name changed to avoid conflicts), so they should be correct. Licenses: The k3 and k4 licenses are valid. As i said, I keep getting the same issue while trying to validate the configuration:Is there a log available where I can review the reasons for the validation failure? Thank you.

We are using 'Export Data Store Entity to Excel' smart service to write data into Excel files. We built a process model which copies an excel template and writes into the copy of the excel template to generate an excel file using this smart service.This smart service is pretty much doing a good job other than few issues which we are trying to find resolution. Here are couple of questions if you can help with. 1) We notice that formats maintained in the Excel template is getting lost if we write some values into that specific cell. Is there a known way to avoid this? (Please see the screen shot attached) 2) Also - we notice, in the cells, if we write numeric values, the generated excel is comming up with this 'comment' icon in cell corner. We tried to write the value as numeric to the cell. But looks like still that is not fixing the issue. Is there a known way to avoid this? (Please see the screen shot attached) 3) Is there a way to delete a sheet from the excel in the

I have a main zip file that contains other nested zip files. I need to extract all these files and apply some custom naming rules to the extracted files. Here’s what I’m looking to achieve: Extract the Main Zip File: Unzip the main archive to access the nested zip files. Nested Zip Files: Perform some validation on the names of the nested zip files. I'm facing two problems: 1-When I try to extract a zip file that contains nested zip files, it doesn't extract them correctly and doesn't output any errors. However, if I include other types of documents, like .docx or .txt, they are extracted correctly. 2-How can I read the contents of a zip file (e.g., the names and types of the nested files)? I’m using a zip extractor, but it doesn't seem to offer this option. Does anyone have any ideas on how to solve these issues?
