hi Team  We would like to embed Bing in APPIAN. Let me know the way to do it. Thanks  Arundhati

Hi, I have a CDT based on a view I built on the Appian MariaDB database.An expression rule (say, rule!GetAllData) pulls from the corresponding DSE through a simple queryEntity, retrieving all results.In an interface, I have a local variable defined as the rule result:local!data: rule!GetAllData()I also have a refresh button, with a dynamic link supposed to refresh the content of the variable, viaa!save(local!data, rule!GetAllData()) The weirdest problem happens: when clicking the link, nothing changes. Appian seems to somehow cache the results of the rule. Note that the records in the query differ between refreshes, so Appian maintains cached records that do not exist in the view anymore!I have verified this from the interface designer, inspecting the value of local!data.Even this does not solve the problem:{  a!save(local!data, null),  a!save(local!data, rule!GetAllData())}Even if I comment out the second line, click the link, verify that local!data is set to null, decomment

Hi, I am calling a startprocess smartservcie on submit button click in my interface. and i have set the submit as true for that button. So here before getting the response from smart service, interface is moving to next node in the process model. I want to get the response and based on response need to validate the interface. If no issues, then need to move to next node in the process model. Process model is starting asynchronously so i think whatever i am performing in onSuccess of srtartProcess, is not happening before submitting the interface. Any suggestions on this please.

How do you check if variable is a list? Assuming that the variable is a local variable

For my service integration, i have to send the request in json format. I am converting my nested CDT into json format by using a!tojson function. Here the issue is my service has some optional input parameters and when i am passing null for those parameters, a!tojson is converting them to "" (double quotes). My service is not accepting the "", i should pass Null. a!toJson(  'type!{urn:com:appian:types}_testCDT'(    name: "ram",    age: Null,    place: ""  )) json looks like : { "sampleName"  : "Test", "Organization" : { "Name" : "TestName", "Branch" : "" } } here Branch value should be Null instead of "". Thanks in advance.

Let's say I have the following query where the data is being filter based on siteIds local!estimations: rule!EEP_QE_getEstimations( statusId: cons!EEP_VAL_STATUS_ACTIVE, columns: {"site_id_fk", "status_id_fk", "estimation_business_id", "id_pk"}, siteIds: local!selectedSite ).data Now, I'm saving local!selectedSite using a dropdown menu a!dropdownField( label: "Site", labelPosition: "ABOVE", placeholder: "--- Select a Value ---", choiceLabels: local!sites.name, choiceValues: local!sites.site_id, value: local!selectedSite, saveInto: local!selectedSite, searchDisplay: "AUTO" ) the value of local!selectedSite is null at the start so everything is queried, as expected. If I select a value from the dropdown the data is filtered accordingly. But when I select a value and then I select the placeholder, the query does not return any values.

All of the sudden a client appears be getting this error when trying to start processes.  "The Process Model cannot be started. There is no published version". This happened in a test environment. upon inspection of the process model it seems like the PM was missing the latest versions as if someone came in and deleted them and now there were only a few old unpublished versions. A quick solution was to save and published the PMs in the dev environment and deploying them again. However, I don't know what might have caused this problem? Has anyone run into this problem and found the cause for it? Some pointers would be helpful to ensure that this doesn't happen again. Is there a log registry I can look that would information about this issue?

Hello, I would like to know whether Cucumber/Fitnesse testing only refers to "on premise Appian Installations" or are they usable as well for "Appian cloud installations". Do we need an specific set-up (eclipse IDE, local servers, etc...) to set up the environments?. Sorry but it's not clear to me reading Cucumber and Fitnesse sections on the playbook. Thank you!
