I have 30 questions in a form out of which few are mandatory. If I miss any one of them and go for submit, I can get error message at the end of page (usually before submit button). It is very difficult to scroll up the page and find for the missing ques. Is there any way in where I can get an alert message in the center of the page/near the ques itself ? 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?

If user's manager band is between 0 to 3 then consider manager details of that user,if user manager is more than 3 then manager's manager(next linemanager) band should be checked and if it is not between 0 to 3 then again check for next further line manager.

Something that's bothering is I can't make my interfaces take up the whole width of the screen. I have se the setting on the site to be "Full" but the interfaces still show empty spaces on left and right sides. One of the screenshots on this reference appears to suggest that you can make an interface take up the whole width. https://docs.appian.com/suite/help/21.1/ux_page_width.html The only thing that can take up the whole width is a billboard layout inside a header content layout, but nothing else. Any suggestions?
