The multidropdown field now has the ability to search for specific items within the list of options. I noticed it's quite fast at finding what I'm looking for even with a list of 1000+ items. I would like to know how the search it's being implemented to achieve this level of performance. The reason why I'm asking is because I would like to try to implement it inside a custom picker if possible. The implementation I have is the same provided by Appian with a foreach loop and checking every item against the provided search. However this stalls with large amounts of data. I know I can just replace the picker with the dropdown since it does the search for me and I have done that. But I would still like to know if there is a way to have that nice search inside the picker for future reference. Thanks in advance.

I have stored data in so many rows for same date in editable grid. Now I am trying to display this data as read only grid in another interface row-wise. But I am getting data of only one row and not all the rows. The code related is inserted below:  a!localVariables( local!newGridRow: 'type!{urn:com:appian:types}Monitoring_Roster'(), local!addRow:'type!{urn:com:appian:types}Monitoring_Roster'(), { { a!gridLayout( label: "Monitoring Roster for: "& text(ri!monitoringDate,"dddd") & " " & ri!monitoringDate, labelPosition: "ABOVE", headerCells: { a!gridLayoutHeaderCell( label: "Monitoring Slot" ), a!gridLayoutHeaderCell( label: "Monitoring In Charge" ), a!gridLayoutHeaderCell( label: "Comments" ) }, columnConfigs: { a!gridLayoutColumnConfig( width: "DISTRIBUTE" ) }, rows: { a!forEach( items: local!newGridRow, expression: { a!gridRowLayout( contents: { a!textField( label: "Monitoring Slot", labelPosition: "ABOVE", placeholder: "--- Select a Value ---", choiceLabels: cons!Testing_TIME

Hello, I have created one CDT and it's first column is auto generated primary key and the same CDT is used to store the column values of the editable grid. I have used the below code: Here "Slot Id" is primary key of CDT stored in the newGridRow local variable. I don't want to display this primary key column as editable grid column but want to store the value of this primary key along with the remaining editable grid columns in the database table. I have Write to Datastore Entity smart service. It is adding the new row to the database table with auto incremented primary key but not adding the values of other columns of editable grid in the table.  Please help me.

Hi, Am getting this error:" : An error occurred while executing a save: Expression evaluation error : Attempted to run a second smart service, but only one smart service can be run per expression evaluation".  Can someone help out how to sort  this out. I have read other documentation it was asked to use another smart service in Process Model, but in my case there is only one process Model and the interface has been called in Start process ...so basically how to use. I hve attached the code. Thanks saveInto: { rule!Abc( cdt_Abc: local!cdt_Xyz ), a!save(local!viewButtonAction, "VIEW"), a!startProcess( processModel: cons!APPIAN_PROCESS_MODEL_MAIL, processParameters: { Notes: ri!Notes, sendTo: local!sendTo, }, on

We have initiated a process model by email and we get an error when the expression runs, the error says we dont have enough privileges.While looking at the executions, we see that the process model was executed by the user "GUEST".How can we solve the error?

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.

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.
