New to Appian

What are the best practices/tools to package and deploy an Appian application? How to manage different version of same Appian application?

I have some doubts related to component plugin and connector plugin. Can we create plugins in C# language instead of JAVA? Also can we extend an existing Appian component for example if we need a 3D style button or a complex chart for our application, can we extend existing Appian button component or chart to add new style or functionality? Also is there any place where we can refer code/java script being used for Appian provided components, so that we can create custom plugin by referring  existing code?

I completed the Appian Developer online course and then attempted the Associate Developer practice exam at the end. I found a lot of the questions quite different and more detailed than what the course seemed to cover. And there were some terms and topics I'm sure weren't mentioned at all in the course. Is it expected that candidates get some practical experience first before seeking accreditation?  

Any one know what reason cause "....invalid contentID..." when use processmodel's "import excel into database" function, though the value of Excel documents are clearly exist.

I have a PK field called requestId under request Entity. I want to pass the value of this requestId to the subprocess. I already tried making the subprocess synchronous and also tried putting stored values to a process variable but to no avail. context: requestId is a PK that gets auto-incremented in the db, whenever I call it on the subprocess, the value is null. But there are no problems when calling other fields

When I convert the ff. to text, the column name gets included. How will I be able to get the content only? I get this [projectName:Project Nature], when it should be Project Nature only Code used: a!save( ri!projectName, rule!CRP_ProjectName(ri!request.projectId) ), ri!projectName is a text variable See below for the expression rule CRP_ProjectName that I made:

Hi everyone, I was trying to send an email from a process model (with the "send e-mail" node) where the text to be sent is a text variable that you write in a a!paragraphField. The problem is that in email that you recieve, the linebreaks of the text variable disappears. This is what you see in the a!paragraphField And this is what you recieve in the email In the setup of the email node, in the message body, I only put the process variable that I get from the interface with the text. So can anybody help me to see the same structure in the a!paragraphField and in the final email? Thank you! Sergio.
