Hi Everyone, I have a requirement to update more than 100 constants from the UI, for that I created Process model and I used Update Constant smart service , But the problem I am facing is for each constant I have to use separate "UPDATE CONSTANT" smart service. So is there any way to handle this kind of situation, apart from writing Smart service for each constant? 

I'm newbie to RPA and MVN. Not sure I fully understand the workflow when working with JAVA outside of RPA. It is my understanding that once the robot is created an export is being downloaded to my machine which  I can customized and deploy using "mvn clear deploy" command.  However, if I make changes to the robot on the Appian side in the workflow editor, how do these changes get reflected in my project ? Is there similar pull/checkout command ? 

When a robot is generated a package is being downloaded with a Maven project.  How can I re-export this package later during the life cycle of the robot  (with updated content) ? The export robotic process button in the top bar of the configuration page exports different package format. Thanks

Import .side file into workflow. New workflow looks good. Save changes. Reload workflow. Old workflow is back. Please advise

We had an issue at production yesterday where the system tried to access a property inside an empty string.Looking more closely, we discovered that the a!fromJson is not doing as it was supposed to do. Here on the a!fromJson (21.1) documentation, we see that the property with an empty string it's converted to null But when we execute the same code on the expressions, this comes back as an empty string, not maintaining its described functionality. The problem is that when we try to access a property from a null value, it does not throw an error. But when we try to access a property from a Text it throws an error and we know how problematic those are

Hi All, I'm trying to build a use case where a bot needs to fill in an Appian Form from a Site. I have used browser low code module to achieve this. However I see an issue while choosing a value from dropdown field. I have been using XPATH to fill in the form fields and it works in all the use cases except for dropdowns. Below is the options I have chosen Selector: XPATH Interaction: Select dropdown choice by visible text Looks like the a!dropdownField() is not recognized as a dropdown by the RPA browser module's select dropdown by index/visible text. Any suggestions on how to handle this? Thanks, Arjun.

Hi All, We have written the code for a keyword driven framework in eclipse. When we are trying to deploy the method in RPA from eclipse, we get the message "deployed successfully/build successfully" in eclipse CatLog  but few methods that are having return type are not getting reflected in RPA console. Thus our query is to confirm whether there is any possibility to deploy a class into RPA from eclipse or methods with return types? Thanks and Regards, Pragya Dwivedi
