DOCX table: Generated PDF table: /resized-image/__size/640x480/__key/communityserver-discussions-components-files/11/Screenshot-2025_2D00_12_2D00_04-at-10.42.15_2F20_AM.png Hi everyone, I’m using the PDF from DOCX plugin to generate a PDF from my DOCX template. The issue I’m facing is that the table formatting is not preserved in the generated PDF. In the DOCX file, long text (e.g., email addresses) wraps correctly inside the table cell and does not overflow. However, in the generated PDF, the same text overflows outside the table cell, even though the DOCX appears perfectly formatted. Has anyone encountered this issue before? Is there a workaround or specific table formatting that the plugin requires so the PDF output respects cell boundaries? Thanks in advance!

Dear all, we are facing an inspection error during the deployment process of the Case Management version 1.6 on Appian 24.3 as shown in the image below.

Hello All, We have a requirement to run the multiple process models as per schedule. The Scheduler will be responsible to identify which process to be triggered and when. For example we are maintaining below data in records-Processname - time - UUID Process Name Time UUID process 1 2:30:00PM, 5:30:00 PM uuid1 process 2 2:30:00PM, 5:35:00 PM uuid2 process 3 8:05:00 AM,2:30:00PM, 5:35:00 PM uuid3 process 4 10:05:00 AM,2:30:00PM uuid4 process 5 10:05:00 AM,2:35:00PM uuid5 process 6 12:05:00 PM,2:45:00PM uuid6 Now parent process is running and checking in each 5 mins and checking which process to be executed. Then it fetch the UUID of those processes and get the Process Model ID. This process model id will be used to call "Start Process" smart service with (MNI), each for identified process. I am using Start Process smart service because I am maintaining UUID in DB and need to get the processes dynamically. So here as per above example, at 2:30:PM I have 4 proc

I am getting some strange values from todate(). { todate("02/28/2025"), todate("02/29/2025"), todate("02/30/2025"), todate("02/31/2025"), todate("02/32/2025"), todate("06/31/2025"), todate("RR/28/B025") } It seems to try to auto-correct an invalid date to a valid date.  But it also seems to allow characters in the date which it evaluates somehow and comes up with wild dates as a result. First Question:  What's going on with todate() that it results in off-the-wall values? My scenarion is this.... I have a webApi that receives a json string which contains structured data that includes multiple date fields.  The webApi uses cast/fromjson to convert the json input string directly to a CDT that uses Date fields.  The CDT is passed to our expression rules that operate on the data. For example... CDT  (SH_Test) Expression rule (faking the WebApi) a!localVariables( local!inputString: "{ ""name"": ""Bob Smith"", ""birthDate"": ""GG/28/2025"",

in version 24.4 isuseractive function is not available, is there any other way to achieve this? I just want to validate if user is acitve or deactivated or even if doesn't exist anymore in the system, we are trying to validate the scenario if for any reason the user saved in DB was deactived or deleted from the system, cause currently we are saving the result of calling the funcion loggedInUser() in DB, this is storing a text value, however we have the requirement to display the fisrtName and lastName of the user in the frontend, but if the user doesn't exist in the DB we are getting  invalid user exception at the moment to use user(username,property) function, since we don't have a try-catch similiar function in version 24.4, I would like to know if there is any other way to catch the exception or change the approach following your recomendations.

I have a folder containing several RAR archives that I need to convert into ZIP format for easier sharing and compatibility. Manually converting each file takes too long. Is there any reliable software or method that supports batch RAR to ZIP conversion on Windows? I’d prefer a tool that maintains file integrity and doesn’t require extraction. Any recommendations or step-by-step guidance would be appreciated.

I have the following code snippet from an interface expression that is not updating the refresh variables. I have confirmed that local!refresh updates on record action as it is supposed to, but I cannot get local!selected_tasks or local!expired_tasks. I have tried multiple different configurations of the refresh parameters inside a!refreshVariable() as you can see from all the commented out portions, but none of them seem to work. I removed all of the record type references in the code, but I assure you they are there in my actual expression. Any insight would be greatly appreciated.local!refresh: a!refreshVariable( value: rand(), refreshAfter: "RECORD_ACTION" ), local!selected_process_ids: if( a!isNotNullOrEmpty(ri!clientSignOffProcess), ri!clientSignOffProcess[], null() ), local!selected_workflow: ri!clientSignOffProcess[], local!selected_tasks: a!refreshVariable( value: a!queryRecordType( recordType: , fields: { }, filters: {

Is it possible to build a web api in Appian to receive documents through multipart/form-data as body?In my case appian is adding following metadata and making the file unreadable(corrupt) --TnQmfygKfP801A_kE1bGL-7YAFk_k6gl9 Content-Disposition: form-data; name="file"; filename="Profile Picture.jpg" Content-Type: image/png Content-Transfer-Encoding: binary

Hi all, I'm working on a scenario where, upon opening the Appian application in the user's browser, we need to execute JavaScript to retrieve an XML file containing contextual data from external Proteo 4 applications. The goal is to use this data to continue the process in Appian with all relevant information from the previous application, without having to pass everything through query parameters. What the client wants to achieve: Execute JavaScript or listen to window events when the Appian application (or interface) loads. Retrieve an XML context file based on an ID passed via the URL. Convert this XML to JSON so Appian can consume the relevant data. Store and use this contextual data within Appian to restore or continue the user's workflow seamlessly. Has anyone encountered a similar situation where JavaScript execution or window event handling was needed to retrieve external contextual data on Appian startup?How did you approach it? Are there any best practices, work
