I am completing the exercises in the PDF part 9 of the Acme Auto application, and the relationship between AX Vehicles and AA Vehicle Category is set up correctly. There is relationship set up of many AA Vehicle Category to one AX Vehicles. I am able to write a query expression that fetches the records from AX Vehicles, and when I test it, I correctly get the record referenced from toCategoryRecord. I can see the category name in the results. The AX Vehicles record has a category ID of 5, which exists in the AA Vehicle Category records (Convertible). And exactly as the PDF says, for the "Category" field of the interface, in "Display Value", I am entering exactly what the PDF says to put: a!defaultValue( ri!vehicle[recordType!AX Vehicle.relationships.toCategoryRecord.fields.value], "–") But this relationship from an expression always returns null instead of "Convertible" as doing a query with the relationship does. I am comple

Thanks in advance for any and all help. I'm quite new to Appian. Any apps I develop are likely to involve document generation and interaction with Microsoft Office and Libre Office. I see among other offerings this service:  [mention:c79406385aa64cb79e1a2cc0f5ce02c9:f7d226abd59f475c9d224a79e3f0ec07] . However, when I've tried to download it I get this notification: This app is available to download for Appian Customers, Partners, and Employees. Please make sure to self-associate from your profile I am using the Community Edition. I can't tell from this instruction whether I'm eligible to use it, or what on earth "self-associate from your profile" means. Searching for "self-associate" in the documentation yields plenty of results about "self-managed", but nothing about "self-associate." Can someone point me in the right direction? Again, thanks for all help.
