Hello All, I have a requirement to get the document, Currently document is not there in Appian as it is stored in S3 bucket and coming as url to Appian. When user clicks on that url,  document is getting downloaded. But I need that document without user action. Is there any way to do that? Thanks in Advance!!

With CDTs I can do something like this to initialise a CDT with all fields set to blank/nullcast( 'type!{urn:com:appian:types}CustomType', {} ) Is anyone aware of a similar approach with records? Casting {}, null(), or a!map() to a record type just returns null In this use case I won't know the field names to be able to use them. I only have the record type **Edit: Adding more context If the record type has fields A, B and c then each of those fields needs to be set with null/blank (which is what would happen with the CDT). eg the value returned is recordType!CustomType(a: null, b: null, c: null)

Looking for an Appian tutor to get me over the hump for senior by next friday. Was close on first attempt. Please reply if interested. 

We have some Appian administrator users who, when they try to access process supervision, edit the process, and try to change a value in a node, do not see all the tabs and cannot change anything. For all other administrator users, it displays correctly. At first glance, it seems that both have the same groups, but we don't understand why the tabs don't appear. We are probably missing some groups, but we thought that an administrator could do everything.  Is that right? Thank you very much for your help.

We are trying to enter a decimal number into a!floatingPointField and storing it in Number(Decimal) field. Since it is a decimal we are trying to save it using rounddown(value, 2) so as to allow only 2 decimals according to our requirement. Note: This functionality is being used in editable grids. While doing so, for certain fields we are getting random numbers keep appearing after the decimal for the numbers. (47.3 shows as 47.3000000004, etc.). This is happening only for that particular row for only a specific value i.e in the example 47.30 only will show 47.3000000004, if we enter 47.322445 it will round down to 47.32. We tried using, round(), roundup(), rounddown() and floor(). SInce we have mutliple grids in the same fashion, this issue seems to appear in atleast 1 grid row.

Hi Everyone, I 'm getting above error for the below code. a!dropdownField( label: "Is Under Header", placeholder: "Select", /*required: ri!questions[ri!index].questionType<>cons!RIDCO_QUESTION_TYPES[11],*/ disabled: index( ri!questions[ri!index], "questionType", {} ) = cons!RIDCO_QUESTION_TYPES[11], choiceLabels: touniformstring(local!headerQuestions), choiceValues: touniformstring(local!headerQuestions), value : touniformstring(index(index(ri!tempQuestions,ri!index,""),"parentQuestionText",{})), local!headerQuestions : returns list of text string

Hi All, Please help in understanding or explaining the working of the following code. displayvalue( 5, { 1, 2, 3, 4, 5 }, { "A", "B", "C", "D" }, "Z") In the above sample code, based on it's behavior, ideally, the result should be the default value ("Z" in this case as there is no item in 5th index of 2nd array). But the result I'm getting is "A", the 1st index from the array. Version I'm using is Appian 24.4 Please refer the screenshot attached.

Hi every one,  I'm raising a question similar to this post  [mention:a16c4c9385824e0a9ad9e1c5a4c7ea34:46448885d0e64133bbfbf0cd7b0fd6f7:label=How%20to%20make%20other%20users%26%2339%3B%20profile%20information%20%28e.g.%2C%20first%20name%20and%20last%20name%29%20visible%20to%20a%20basic%20user%20on%20a%20report] as it has not been updated since 6 years ago.

Hi everyone, We're working with the scimPatchGroup() function from Appian's SCIM User Management application and would appreciate some clarification on the expected inputs for each parameter based on our current configuration. Here’s what we have so far: scimGroupType: We're passing 1, which corresponds to the Group Type ID for our SCIM-managed groups (1 - SCIM). This is the group type under which the group (from which users are being removed) is defined. jsonBody: We're using the following format: { "schemas": "urn:SCHEMA", "Operations": [ { "op": "remove", "path": "members", "value": [ { "value": "abc@gmail.com" } ] } ] } attributeMappings: We're using the default mappings from the SCIM application: [ { "appianAttribute": "ExternalId", "scimAttribute": "externalId", "jsonPath": "$.externalId" }, { "appianAttribute": "GroupName", "scimAttribute": "dis

Hi everyone, I’m a PhD student researching low-code development. It’s impressive to see more and more people discovering low-code and no-code tools and using them in their work. I recently completed a study in collaboration with a consulting company that provides low-code solutions to its clients. Through interviews, I learned that many people without formal software development education are now able to step into this field thanks to low-code platforms. For many, this has created new career opportunities and pathways into tech. I also noticed that consulting firms often play an important role as partners of low-code vendors, acting as a bridge between platform providers and client companies. Beyond these observations, I’m interested in understanding how developers themselves feel about working with low-code development platforms—both the benefits and the challenges. Based on the collected responses, I found Appian was one of the most mentioned platforms. I beli
