Greetings everyone I'm designing a robotic processes using the new RPA Version, but noticed that there is no copy and paste of the nodes nor duplicating existing action groups in the new version. Most of the work I do requires duplicating the action due to the similarity. Does anyone know a way to duplicate actions?

Hi Experts, I have 2 filters, one is custom picker EMPID and another is checkbox to "Show current month data", below are the steps i am performing to filter the data: ->Uncheck the check box & then search for an EMPID which is not of current month so that EMPID result shows up ->Now check the "Show current month data" check box & so that the search result cleared off  ->Again search for the same EMPID number & no result found shows up in when its checked (Working as expected as its not current month EMPID,) ->Uncheck the "Show current month data" check box & then search again for same EMPID    No result found even after page refreshes with  "Show current month data" check box unchecked

This code for check the process variable "gap" Boolean is not working. My sample rule is: if( rule!APN_isBlank(ri!gap),if( like(ri!text,"*GAP*"), ri!gap=true(), ri!gap=false()), ri!gap) I need to check if the pv- gap (boolean) is null or empty, then I have to populate the gap as with checking on the like function Else I need to just display the gap (true/ false) as it is which is not null. Problem: Here when I give null/ empty value for "gap", then the true part is executed. It says simply false, even when the like function gives true value (text contains words "gap"). Please help me to execute this scenario. 

Hello! I wonder if it is possible to tell the Chrome browser to allow or block notifications while using it with RPA? In Selenium/Java  I would use something like this: ChromeOptions options = new ChromeOptions(); options.AddUserProfilePreference("profile.default_content_setting_values.notifications",2); /* or 1 depending if I want to block or allow notifications */ IWebDriver driver = new ChromeDriver(options); Best regards!

Hello,  I have developed Document Extraction process, the Start Doc Extraction node is working with Google, problem is that it seems the process is not learning. I have summited the same file a few times and each time it is not extracting anything automatically.

We often use a!update() function to update dictionary values however, it fails when a dictionary has 2 attributes with different font cases (e.g. label & LABEL) In 21.4 I tried using the a!update() function as below: Input:  { label:"", LABEL:"asdf", label3:"", label4:"asdf"} Rule:  a!update(ri!dict,"LABEL",123) Output:  {label: 123, LABEL: "asdf", label3: "", label4: "asdf"} Is there another function that I can use to avoid this? I do not want to recreate the entire dictionary each time someone updates a single value.

Hi All, I am facing an issue both in expression rule and in oracle database but I am confused like what will be  the reason for this issue. Issue in expression rule: I just want to query data from database and it runs fine for all task id. But it shows me error only for the task id #141. Issue in Oracle database: When I try to retrieve data in one particular view for task #141 it takes more time(more than 5 minutes) to load even for 2 rows but at last the output comes. But when I try for some other task id it takes time less than a minute even it has 1000 rows. Note : The entity I used in expression rule and the view I ran in oracle database are same. Only for task #141 this issue occurs. We checked process instances, it doesn't show any error. Because of the above issue the users are not able to open the task 141 in site, since it loads for several minutes and then loading pauses then loading disappears. Please help me to sort this issue. Thanks in Advance.

Hi, When I debug a process instance, I can see the value changed of my var in the Process history tab of a Process instances. Example : [unit_id=976, info_data= [quantity=50, fk_line_id=, data=[test1=2, test3=3],[test1=4, test3=6]]] Does Appian provide a native way to convert this string to a String expression ?  (replacing "[" by "{",  "=" by ":"  etc ...) A little java program would make the stuff... but I'm just curious about a way inside Appian (maybe using some json functions). Regards

Good day I have a running robot (Windows) that opens a notepad (selects an already open window) and SHOULD copy the first row, but it is not working at all. I have a section that does the following: 1. Clears clipboard 2. Presses SHIFT + DOWN  (uses the press and release action, the modifier key SHIFT, and the extra key DOWN) 3. Presses CTRL + Character: C  (uses the press and release action, the modifier key CTRL, and the extra key Character: C) 4. Pastes the content of the clipboard into a variable The problem is... action #2 does not seem to be working at all!  It is evident that nothing is getting "selected" (should be "painted" in blue) when the robot is executing. I've also tried replacing action #2 for this set of actions: 2a. Press SHIFT (uses the press and HOLD key action with the modifier key SHIFT) 2b. Press END (uses the press and release key action with the key DOWN) 2c. Release SHIFT (uses the RELE
