HI All, Is there a way to delete older versions of a constant using any appian function or smart service? Scenario: I'm calling an API to get the bearer token and storing it in a constant. This is done using a recurring job (PM every 10 mins). But, doing this its creating a version every 10 mins. Is there any way to delete older version systematically? FYI,  I understand we can to an alternate approach by storing the value in a db and updating it, But I would like to see if there is any way to delete the older version of the constants.

Hello,  We are having issues because the commercials are uploading documents but they don't submit. This generates a new document in our DDBB but it is not created in Appian Documents Folder, so the next commercial finds the error shown below. We have tried that the DDBB is uploaded after submit, but this is not a valid solution. We have warned the commercials to don't do this, but they keep doing. Is there any solution? Thank you

Hi Guys, I am using Document Extraction (Google Vendor) to read data from Images present in PDF. However, Some of the Images in the PDF are titled (upside down or facing sideways). After the extraction gets completed, it is becoming very difficult for the users to see the data and click the correct field. The interface for document extraction is constant and I wanted to add a rotate button so that the users can rotate the image and click the correct field.  Is this approach feasible and yes please let me know the approach? Many thanks,

I am working to develop an application on Appian where I can send request links for third-party users where they can click on the link, fill a form, provide any supporting documents and give their approvals. I want to understand how the license structure would work in this case as these third party users would be external users to my organization and I only want to give them access (preferably just for filling the links via link) and not proper user login sessions. Please help

I was wondering if there was a way to verify all of the values in a dropdown picker field without selecting each one. Scenario: There is a field that contains 3 choices "Initiate, Additional, Review", is there a way to verify that this dropdown contains each of this values without populating each field then verifying. The following script will accomplish the goal, but does not scale well, as some drop down fields contain dozens or hundreds of selections and this would greatly increase testing time. !|script||populate field | [1] | with | Initiate||verify field | [1] | contains | Initiate||populate field | [1] | with | Additional||verify field | [1] | contains | Additional||populate field | [1] | with | Review||verify field | [1] | contains | Review|

Hello, I have an issue where I am attempting to offset !today by a declared variable to verify a due date. Example: !define dueDateOffset {10} |script||verify field | Processing Due Date | contains | !today +${dueDateOffset}| Result: verify field Processing Due Date contains 4/02/2021 +10 The following script produces the result I want but does not use the variable, unfortunately I need to keep this dynamic so the variable is needed. |script||verify field | Processing Due Date | contains | !today +10| Result verify field Processing Due Date contains 4/12/2021 How do I use a variable to offset today's date?
