New to Appian

How to convert an expression rule output to a particular type. Do I need to do something in expression rule itself or can I do something when trying to use along with local variable.

I'm new to appian and I want to explore on HierarchyBrowserFieldTree using CDT. So, if possible any one can give me example to try

i am new appian. logged in through mu gmail account. trying to access community.appian.com site.(get my site) it is erroring out with my creds. could you please hlep us on this.

An error occurred while trying to retrieve the data store entity [id=Approved]. Verify that the data store and entity have not been deleted, and have the correct security settings. Details: java.lang.IllegalArgumentException: The id of the data store entity must be a composite id with a "@" as separator: Approved error please check

The error above used to happen occasionally but has been getting worse & worse to the point I am unable to do anything in the Interfaces 103: Build Complex Interfaces by Adapting Patterns course I was working on today.  It only happens when I am using my works laptop which connects to the internet using my own internet to connect to my companies network via a VPN. This is the only way the works laptop can connect to the Internet. And also happens when in the office connected directly to my companies internet. I get this when trying to drag & drop components using the design view. This can also happen when using the palette and trying to change from the components tab to patterns or design library.  I also have had it when working through the developer  training course again same scenario as above or when using the Monitoring tab and trying to change to the other tabs to check the health of my app or processes.  It can also happen why try

I am re building the Dev training app and this is only thing I cannot get to work from the training guidance and I am not sure why.  I have rebuilt up to step 13 and every thing else and other tips have worked.  On the add Vehicle form. a tip is "TIP: Use the Visibility Setting to Conditionally Show Interface Components ● In some cases, you might want to display a component based on a condition. ● To do this, use the Visibility setting in the Component Configuration pane. Select Only Show When and enter an expression in the Expression Editor. ● For example, imagine that you want to display a Comments field if a vehicle’s mileage is above 150,000 miles. You can enter the expression ri!vehicle[recordType!AX Vehicle.fields.vehicleMileage] > 150000. ● This expression determines whether the Comments component is displayed on the interface. When set to false, the component is hidden and not evaluated. The default is set to true." I have the following in How

I have a read only grid with select boxes enabled creating something like thisAlmost everyone says that you should used delete from data store entities to handle record deleting. However, this page https://docs.appian.com/suite/help/23.1/Custom_Data_Types.html says that most of the time you should not use CDT but CDTs are required for DSE.Where can I find a step by step walk though that does not use CDTs or DSEs to delete multiple records from a read only grid?

Is there a way to get editable grid to page through the entire data set similar to 'read-only grid'?  I have 10K records and each record needs to be classified based on a list of categories.  Right now, the entire 10K records are being shown. Thanks.
