Hello all, For an editable grid, we are using the a!pickerFieldUsersAndGroup function to filter through the users based on the selected group chosen in the grid.  When entering a letter in the picker field, it undergoes a search and then gives a listing of all the users within that group that has the letter in it.  Is there any way to get the screen readers to be dynamic in a sense where it can tell you how many users match the criteria for the value entered?

Hi all, I hope you all are doing well and safe. Today I am going to tell my experience on Appian training. As I see there are so much button clicks while completing any Appian trainings which personally I don't like and it's just annoying. It maybe the good for some folks, so I am sorry in advance if it is wrong according to your opinion. For example: 1. If I started any Appian training and completed a video, then I see a pop-up with 2 buttons as below screenshot which is completely useless. It must be closed automatically and should not ask these questions. If I am ready to start the next activity that I can do manually. 2. In every quiz it asking to proceed with message "Time to check your knowledge! ..." it's ok to warn but each time for each quiz, if a person seriously want to pass the quiz definitely he/she will read the questions carefully.   3. If I turned off the caption for one video then it should not ask for next video or for entire traini
