Hi, I have a record action that uses an expression rule for its name, and I would like for it to update after the action has been executed, however it seems the name for a record action gets cached upon its initial creation and doesn't update after that unless the page is refreshed? Activity chaining has been set up for the process appropriately as far as I am able to tell, and any local variables that need to be refreshed are, including in any expression rules, as demonstrated by the button and link shown beneath the record action, which use the same expression rule to define their label. For the sake of convenience I set the expression rule to also return the current time as I could then just open and close the record action for the result to update, and as you see the time refreshes for everything bar the two record actions at the top (the one on the right has a name defined just using the now() function to ensure updates weren't tied to expression rules). a!localVariables(

I have recently been facing a hiccup in my Appian application upon creating a task report where I can't add process variables in my fields (I want to do that for further clarification of the tasks info for the user and searching for tasks based on data stored in process variables, I found a workaround for this issue but it is impractical and I was wondering if there was a better way of going through the process in general:  First, in my process model, after initiation and upon moving to the next node I stored the needed process variables in the process name as follows:  First, I created my process report as follows:  I then created my process report:  Now within my process report, I place any necessary filter, I also add a column that includes the name of my task:  I then add another column that basically extracts the added process variable from my task's name to view it separately:  while this solution definitely works, it feels very finni

Hi all,  browser window object has the ability to listen and post events. Is there a way in Appian to access the window object to listen and post messages? Why?

Some how some Process models are deployed but not published. Now i need to open a ticket but want to give the list of unpublished Process model at once. Can some one please suggest how to get the list without checking one by one as we have 50+ Process models.

When I import a full application from dev to test environment, how do I make sure that my process models will be published to the latest version? Is there any special line that I have to add to the properties file so that all my process models will be published to the latest version? or is this done by default on every import? 

I have a record action, once I perform the record action, it'll trigger a process, there is an api call in this process, I want to display the api response right after the action completed.

I have built a interface for recordtype A to show summary, recordtype A has several recordtype B,C,D...related to it, but I found when I am viewing summary for related record B, it only shows 10 items, even though it actually has 20 items. I changed the grid's pagesize to 20 and can still see only 10 items. Is there a limit when we pass rv!record and the related records only has 10 rows at max?

I found multiple points raised on community regarding how to build workflows in Appian, almost at all place it's mentioned to prefer task based workflows. But i went through Appian success guides and feel both approach are well documented and in some places it's highlighted to build record centric design over task design. Wanted to know why record centric design should not be preferred in first place over task based workflow? Record Centric Applications or Task-based Applications (Modular Design with Sub-processes) are both documented approach of building the applications                    Information Source : https://community.appian.com/success/w/article/3048/how-to-create-memory-efficient-models Under Appian "Best Practices: Appian User Stories", Appian has highlighted issue with Process centric design          &ensp

Hello, I require your support, well, I have a problem, or rather a very big doubt, is it possible to do a foreach to get data from related records? For example:supposing I have the following records:Record PersonRecord AddressRecord AccountRecord idRelationship the record idRelationship record will help me to relate the other records by means of an id. so far so good, (I hope I understand) then, I need to make an expression rule that will bring me the ordered data for a cdt, or a map, 'this is for formatting purposes'. what i am doing is relating my records, and inserting data, I am first sorting them by local variables localVariables( local!relationship:rule....(relationship: Record idRelationship....) local!getOwner:{ Record Person Record Address Record Account } local!getBenef:{ Record Person Record Address Record Account } is something like this, so after I do my indexing, what I do is create another local variable that does my foreach, but for each 'beneficiary' that I h
