hi all how to read data from Appian  Queue - using Web API call

Hi all, this is a problem that's been troubling me for some time. Let's say that I have the following date, "08/18/2021". I know that it falls on a wednesday, and I want to substract enough days in order to get "08/16/2021" as the result. Same for any other date in the same week, I'd like to automatically detect how many days have passed in the week so it always results in the Monday of that week. My approach has been the following: a!localVariables( local!ctrlday: weekday(todate("08/18/2021")), datetext(todate("08/18/2021") - day() * (local!ctrlday - 3), "yyyy/MM/dd"),) And it "works" for that example, but if I were to calculate "08/17/2021" and substract 2, it would end up with "08/15/2021". Any ideas on how to make this behave properly? Thank you in advance.

Hi, I have a below output from my expression My requirement is if "expr" of every Dictionary contains "rowcode" that row code needs to be replaced by "expr" of that particular rowcode (for eg: "(FRML_88_1+FRML_88_2)" this expression contains rowcode so i need to replace it with expr "((123/12)+(1284*64))" and  the final output be like  "(((123/12)+(1284*64))*(9090+122))"

Hi All, I have recently got a chance to go through the academy course on Appian RPA Excel Data Provider and it is really good.   I'm looking to build simple use cases like read excel file and store it in PV only by using low code modules. I attempted to use features like - Initialization with URL - Initialization with File Parameter - Get Current Item attribute by name/column. is there an academy course/documentation available to use the ExcelMap data provider and how to configure every feature provided in it. I'm looking for this for other low code modules as well. May be its already available and I'm not able to locate. Please suggest some good documentations / academy courses for this. Thanks,Arjun.

As the title says, I would like to be able to extract data from a pdf or word document using RPA.

Dear Experts, There is a requirement that, a given date time, which maybe GMT+05, GMT, or GMT-03, we need convert it to logged user's time. For example, given date time is "7/29/2021 2:39 AM GMT+05:00", my local time zone is "GMT+08", I need convert it to local time, the expected result should be "7/29/2021 5:39 AM GMT+08:00". However, I have tried below functions ( image attached ), no one can meet my expectation.

Hi All, I am using regex match to validate some values but after 20.1 upgrade system is very slow & appian support team is saying it is due to regexmatch.  Can regexmatch go to long running process or infinite loop( no loop has been use to in regex ). Any help would be appreciated .

Is is possible to update multiple fields of a CDT using the a!update()? The documentation shows that you can for a regular array, but with the CDT examples shown, it only updates one field at a time. When I test it out in an expression, it throws an error. I just want to check that I'm not missing anything here.  e.g. a!update( data: ri!submission, index: {"StatusID", "SubmissionTypeID"}, value: {1, 2} ) error thrown: Expression evaluation error at function a!update: Invalid index: cannot index multiple indices of type List of Text String into type CRA_T_Submission

My process model has an integration task that calls an API and then follows up to write into my database, but I keep getting this error when I run it: Cannot index property 'property' of type Text into empty List of Dictionary) (Data Outputs) From what I'm understanding is that the PM can't write a List ({}) to the DB and rightfully so. So in my expression for the output I have this: if( length( rule!myIntegration().result.body.people.person.address ) =0,"", rule!myIntegration().result.body.people.person.address.state.value) I try to tell the expression, that if the List ({}) is empty (or length of 0), then to make it an empty string ("") so it can write an empty string to the DB instead of a List (why the error happens), otherwise if not empty or not 0, to add the value to the DB. I would think this work but I keep getting this error. My JSON API string is as follow: { "people": [ { "id": 1, "person"
