Question

Select All Options from the User Filters Record

Hi!

I was wondering if it’s possible to add a “Select All” option to User Filters in a Record Type. I tried but couldn’t find a way. The business needs to be able to select all options and then deselect a few, rather than having to select each one individually, which is time-consuming when there are many options. I know it’s possible to do this in a custom interface, but I’m curious if it can be done from the record side.

Thanks!

Hi [mention:c156a43eea0d473194ad62f647367f54:e9ed411860ed4f2ba0265705b8793d05] ,

Appian’s native User Filters on Record Types do not currently support a “Select All” option out-of-the-box.

There’s no built-in checkbox or UI for “Select All” in user filters configured directly in the Record Type.

Workarounds:
1. Custom Interface + Query Record Type
If you need “Select All” with the ability to deselect a few:

Build a custom interface using:

a!multiDropdownField() with a "Select All" checkbox.

This gives full control over filtering logic.

I a recent version, Appian added the option to define multiple default options. That might be what you are looking for.

Hi!

Yes, it's possible to select multiple options in user filters from the Record Type without needing a custom interface. You can also deselect any options as needed. However, there’s no built-in "Select All" checkbox available on the record side—you'll need to manually select the options.

I’ve attached screenshots showing:-

  • The output where multiple selections/deselections are visible in the interface

Hope this helps!
