Hello everyone, 

I need that when a user offline submits a user input task, it does not disappear from the task list and he can see it in the future. Is it possible in appian configurate process/task in such way?

Thanks for any help.

    unmark buttons as submit button. When user click on new button you should start process with a!startProcess. This will not redirect user to another scrren.

    This may work online, but for offline a!startprocess is not available and will throw an error

    You might be right. 

    The other idea is to add to constant (that is array) this recently completed task id (something unique). When main screen is generated it should get all data from db or report excluding those ids that are in mentioned constant.

    That is not supported for offline. May I ask what the use case is?

    Users need to fill some question form in user input task (in most cases this will be done offline) after that, the answers need to be saved in the database, but it would be better for the user if it did not disappear, and he could view the completed questions without going online

    Can you use the out-of-the-box behavior with pending forms? By default, you can view any tasks that haven't been submitted yet by using the Pending Forms menu in the mobile app.
