Hello everyone, Is anyone else having a problem with extremely slow file uploading process using the a!fileUploadField component in a form? It literally takes 30+ seconds to upload a 4kb text file. During the uploading, it completely freezes my browser instance. I can't access any other tabs.  Is there a solution?

Hi all, I’m trying to handle failures from the Send E-Mail smart service (e.g. network) in a more user-friendly way. My goal is to display an interface showing the error and its corresponding resolution whenever the email fails, instead of having the process instance suspended. Currently: When the Send E-Mail smart service fails, the process model is suspended. I attempted to: Use a Timer Exception on the Send E-Mail node Place the Send E-Mail node inside a subprocess and handle the exception from the parent model However, both approaches do not work as expected because the subprocess itself becomes suspended when the Send E-Mail smart service fails. Is there any supported way to: Catch or handle Send E-Mail failures (e.g. network issues) without suspending the process, or Route the flow to a failure interface after retries are exhausted? Any guidance or recommended patterns would be greatly appreciated. Thanks in advance!

Can the text "This message has been sent by Appian" in an email be removed? What steps are needed to remove the text? Thanks

Hi. I have one process configured to export data from a view to excel using the Export Data Store Entity to Excel, but somehow I'm getting this error: Error accessing data store entity: CIP_CrpStatus_VIEW. Please contact a system administrator for additional details. (APNX-1-4505-026), this view is trying to export 4814 records. Has anyone experienced this error before?

Appian 24.1 My project receives a JSON document that is somewhere between 50 - 100 KB in size normally. We jamb it into a Record Type (as a json string), read it from a process model, convert this to a CDT (hierarchy), pass it to an interface (a hierarchy of them really). So far, all that we have built runs fine. Now we had a case where the JSON document was over 1 MB. This threw an error when we tried to write it to a record type. Apparently, there is a record size limit of 1 MB within Appian for tables that sync to record types. So, now we are looking at redesigning the data storage. Clearly, we need to break up/normalize the data into a set of relational tables (vs just 1 table as we have today). But from there I seem to have some options and I don't know what is best Option 1 - Read the record types within the process model and rebuild the JSON object so it may be passed to the interfaces.This moves the max size question from the table row to the process model variable. Can it

Hi, I have a requirement.  In a process model I am having processuuid as a process variable.  Using this I have to start a process by using start process smart service.  How can I achieve this?

Hi Appian community, I know there were similar threads opened 3–4 years ago, and that Appian released a hotfix to address this issue. However, I’m still encountering the same problem in 25.2 with site page visibility. Even when I set the visibility rule to “Only show when” = false(), the page is still visible to System Administrator users. Does this rule always get overridden for System Administrators or other groups?

The workflow diagram in Case Management Studio collapses when a task points back to the previous task (2nd image). The workflow diagram is formed properly when tasks are linearly added one after the other (1st image). Did anyone observe this anomaly? How to resolve it?

I need the content of a windows file (the file is in csv format) in order to eventually send part of the content to an SQL Server database. I was able to upload the file into an appian document using Appian RPA. I'm also able to find the documentID of the uploaded document. I can't find a function/way of converting/loading the content of the document to a map/array. Is there another way of dealing with this? Please let me know, thank you.

Hi all, I got this error in the log by seeing this I can identify this is a error in the process model general tab in localisation but when i checked i didn;t find any process model with this ID 13284 . Is there any chance this error could be somewhere else , any pointer will be helpful as only one user is facing this issue on prod. I know its a small fix in the code but I am not able to find out which object is giving this error Caused by: com.appiancorp.suiteapi.common.exceptions.AppianException: Contact your application administrator for help resolving this issue.

Hi Everyone, I have requirement to retrieve resulting CDT list by filtering nested CDT list containing key-value Tier:1 in nested CDT. This is CDT list local: list { { ReportFacilityId:30803, FacilityId:3551, FormInstanceId:4271964, FacilityName:"Test 1", IsSectionLarger:false, FacilityMode: { { A15LinkModeId:17394, ModeId:4, ToS: 1, Tier:1 }, { A15LinkModeId:17394, ModeId:4, ToS: 3, Tier:2 } } }, { ReportFacilityId:30804,

Is there a list of all available Appain Example Images somewhere(example: a!EXAMPLE_RECEPTIONIST_IMAGE())? I find them easy to use to quickly put together a POC.

We're trying to embed signature images into a bulk release receipt PDF using Appian's DOCX template generation.

We have a requirement to launch an Appian form from an external website while passing user details and additional information. The goal is to make this process seamless without requiring the user to log in to Appian. Currently, we are exploring Appian Portals and Embedded Interfaces as potential solutions. Any design recommendations or best practices for this scenario is greatly appreciated?

Hi All, Can you guys please help how do I get list of Ids containing duplicates values in list of objects containing duplicate values. The list always has duplicate values. This is the list locallist: {    { id:12, FacilityName:"New Test1", FacilityTypeId:8,},     { id:13, FacilityName:"New Test0", FacilityTypeId:9,},    { id:14, FacilityName:"New Test1", FacilityTypeId:8,},    { id:15, FacilityName:"New Test0", FacilityTypeId:9,},    } what I want to get list of ids containing duplicates. So in this case, id 12, 14 are duplicate having same FacilityName, FacilityTypeId. And id 13, 15 are duplicate having same FacilityName, FacilityTypeId local!ResultList: {   {  12, 14 }. {13,15}    } Any help would be appreciated

Hi all, We’re looking to integrate Appian with Epicor Prophet 21 (P21) and I’m hoping to learn from anyone who’s done this in the real world.  We currently host Prophet 21 on-prem and with their recent announcement of going strictly cloud hosted by Epicor I am trying to plan things correctly.   A few questions: Are you integrating via APIs, using the read-only database, or something else? What P21 interfaces have you used most (orders, inventory, customers, pricing, etc.)? Any gotchas around authentication, rate limits, data model quirks, or transaction handling? Did you build a reusable Appian integration layer (connected system + integration objects), or keep it in an external service? Any general lessons learned or recommended patterns? If you’ve implemented this, I’d love to hear what worked, what you’d avoid, and whether you have any high-level architecture suggestions.

Hi, As the title says, I'm trying to retrieve all fields of a record type and its related record types in a query using a!selectionFields. I have the following hierarchy Produktbeschreibung (Prroduct Description) Konzept (Concept) as (one-to-many) [several other types, such as related risks] My problem now is, that using the following expression: I get all fields that are directly related to Produktbeschreibung and Konzept, but not the data for the related record types under Konzept. I'm suspecting that selection fields cannot drill down more than one relationship at a time. If that is correct, is there any way, I could get the data for the nested ralationships in a way such that I can retrieve the full record?

We recently did a bit of an object purge on our DEV site to clean out some unused or obsolete objects. We checked for dependencies before deleting anything, but apparently we didn't check hard enough. I have a process model that contains 2 Start Process nodes, that is now displaying an error on the Setup tab (see image below). This happens even when adding a new Start Process node to the process model, but other process models work fine. The uuid listed in the error is one of the record types we deleted.   I have process variables that are type Record Type, so I started by checking the precedents of that record type. I found one that, when trying to expand its precedents tree gives me the error message: Going in to that record type directly and attempting to view it's precedents just gives me a "Record field's uuid must not be null" error, and no precedents are displayed. However the record behaves completely normally apart from this and other apps that

How do I get prime numbers 1-100 ?

We have a WebApi to approve requests (mostly in html/JavaScript/Appian)  This page contains a table which has a link to download documents from filenet. It works fine for Application level roles but redirects to Appian sign in page for non-Application roles. We were told to fetch documents from Appian instead. I created a post webapi(doc) which has start process(retrieve docs from filenet) and returns docId in json . This is working fine but when calling this webapi(doc) in Integration, it fails with 302. Provided basic auth, tried with serviceaccount as well. Idea: create another get webapi to invoke this integration and call in approval page. I'd appreciate if there are any other ways for non-Appian users to access documents can be given. Any guidance will be appreciated. TIA.

Here’s an overview of my process model: the “PDF Doc from Template” smart service generates the PDF file using an editable template. Below is the structure of the template: All fields in the template are configured as multiline and can hold up to 5,000 characters. Since each field has a fixed height, any content exceeding the visible area becomes scrollable within the field. After generating the PDF using the “PDF Doc from Template” smart service, I use the Fill PDF smart service to flatten the document and make it read-only. Everything works as expected up to the point where the PDF is created and stored in the designated folder. The issue arises when the Fill PDF smart service is executed. This functionality was working correctly before scrollable multiline fields were introduced into the template.

Hi Team, Is there any way or function to insert business holiday for particular company and retrieve same. Thanks,

I need to call a stored procedure that takes a lot to complete (around 6min) and it does not return anything. It could be called in a async way that it would not matter.  Having said that, can I just use the timeout field to give it a short value (one second) being sure that in the DB, the SP will complete even if my Process model completes?Cheers

Hi everyone, While following the Appian Developer course, I noticed that multiple PDFs for the Step-by-Step exercises (for example, Build an Application: Step 2) cannot be opened. They seem corrupted or possibly outdated for the current version. I’ve tried downloading them again and opening in different viewers, but the issue persists.Is there an updated version of these documents or an alternative resource for these exercises? Thanks in advance for any guidance!
