How to concat extra spaces other than using concat function in a value. To convert a list of text strings to a string, concat is not working if it has multiple spaces in a sequence.  Eg: {"a"," "," "," "," "," "," ", "b"} Actual output using concat is "a b" using to string function "a; ; ; ; ; ; ; b" Expected output "a      b"

Hello Appian Community, I am currently using AI Skills in Appian to extract data from a document. The extracted data is being saved as text at the process model level. However, I need to convert this text into JSON format for further processing. I attempted to use the a!fromJson() function to convert the text into JSON, but I am encountering an error during the conversion. Here is what I have tried: The extracted data is stored in a process variable of type Text (e.g., pv!extractedData). I tried using a script task to convert the text to JSON using: appian Copy code a!fromJson(pv!extractedData) However, this results in an error. Error Details: My Questions: How can I ensure the text data is valid JSON and successfully convert it? Are there specific considerations or configurations required when working with AI Skills and JSON data in process models? What are the best practices for handling such scenarios? Any guidance or examples would be greatly appreciated!

Hello, I have been using a community edition and am trying to use Appian's RPA feature to open a browser and enter information into a legacy system. I am doing this on a Mac. When I navigate to the ops console to activate my robot and then create a robotic task, I am instructed to download the prerequisite files for installing and running the RPA. But I find the linked files are only for Windows. Although the documentation says it is possible on Mac, I can't find where to download Mac RPA files. Does anyone know where I can find them? 

Hello everyone, Please have a look at below code:local!array1: { a!map(id: 1, name: "Name1"), a!map(id: 2, name: "Name2") }, local!array2: a!forEach( items: enumerate(10), expression: concat("key", tostring(fv!index)) ), here i want to extend array1 map key from array2, which is dynamically generated through array2 and values should be the value of id from array1. so i am expecting the new array would be like this: { a!map( id: 1, name: "Name1", key1: 1, key2: 1, key3: 1, key4: 1, key5: 1, key6: 1, key7: 1, key8: 1, key9: 1, key10: 1 ), a!map( id: 2, name: "Name2", key1: 2, key2: 2, key3: 2, key4: 2, key5: 2, key6: 2, key7: 2, key8: 2, key9: 2, key10: 2 ) } any easiest way to do this. Thanks in advance 

Hello, I need to create rule that takes an array of dictionaries in input and if multiple of these elements have the same "id" value, I want to take only the first one in a separate list: ri!list: { {output: "OK, id: "abcd", description: "hello"}, {output: "OK", id: "abcd", description: "hi"}, {output: "OK", id: "yxz", description: "bye"}, {output: "OK", id: "yxz", description:"goodnight"}, {output: "OK", id: "opt", description: "ok"} } the output should be the following: local!output:  { {output: "OK, id: "abcd", description: "hello"}, {output: "OK", id: "yxz", description: "bye"}, {output: "OK", id: "opt", description: "ok"} }

input: "Banana", output: "B---------------1" , "aaa---------------3", "nn---------------2"  any one try it anthor way .. { a!localVariables(local!data: "Banana",local!len: len(local!data),local!merge: union(a!forEach(items: enumerate(local!len) + 1,expression: local!data[fv!index]),a!forEach(items: enumerate(local!len) + 1,expression: local!data[fv!index])),local!all: a!forEach(items: enumerate(local!len) + 1,expression: local!data[fv!index]),a!forEach(items: local!merge,expression: index(local!data,wherecontains(fv!item, local!all),{}) & "---------------" & count(wherecontains(fv!item, local!all)))) }

Here, the integrationResponse.result.body is an array of dictionaries. However, the length function returns 1 if not using flatten. Not sure why this is happening. Please share comments/reasons if any.

Hello, my team and I have used the new AI skill for an email classifier and we have several questions regarding the process.For some context, we need the AI to classify emails into three groups, lets say A, B and C. To train the AI we uploaded: for group A around 139 eml files, for group B around 103 eml files and around 70 for group C.Once it was "trained", it said it had an accuracy of 100% and it  concluded there were no errors in the training process nor the actual classifying process, but as seen in the picture, it seems the model was  only trained with few of the files we uploaded for each group.  We were a little surprised when we took a look at the metrics since 1- they were extremely successful and 2- the ai didn't use all the files we uploaded from each type. We still went ahead and tested it with new emails, 1 from group A, 2 from group B and another 2 from group C. The results showed all emails but one were classified as group A, and the

We have an expression rule that has not been modified since 2017. The developer who wrote the rule originally is no longer with the company. This rule is executing without error in our DEV, UAT, and PRODUCTION environments. However, when I go to the rule in Appian Designer, it's throwing an error, saying there is an undeclared local variable. Indeed, there is an undeclared local variable, and it is referenced multiple times in the rule. However, this rule is somehow working, otherwise we would see dozens of errors in Production on a daily basis (according to the rule's Performance Trends, it's hit several hundred times a day). How is this rule able to work correctly when it's called in Production, but becomes a problem when it's being modified in Appian Designer. It's worth noting that the rule is called by an Interface that (again) has not been updated since 2017, and still uses "load" and "with" instead of "a!localVariables" - and
