Apply the latest hotfix to your Appian installation or upgrade to the latest version of Appian.

Symptoms

This section is required for this template. All symptoms of the issue, including relevant screenshots and log lines, should be included here. The symptoms should be as descriptive as possible.

Cause

This section is required for this template. When writing a cause for a particular article, ensure the following is taken into consideration:

The cause is concise and does not disclose more information than absolutely necessary.
The cause does not share any Appian source code. Source code for plugins/shared components are fine.
If this is an issue outside of the Appian product and the third-party vendor included documentation referencing the bug, provide their documentation for reference.

For any enhancements/defects, use one of the following as applicable:

This issue has been reported to the Appian Product Team. The reference number for this issue is AN-XXXXX.
This product use case has been logged to the Appian Product Team for consideration to add this functionality in the product. Kindly note it is not Appian Support’s policy to disclose how or when a product use case will be implemented.
This issue has been addressed via AN-XXXXX in Appian X.X Hotfix Package X.
This issue has been addressed via AN-XXXXX in the following hotfixes/versions:
- List each specific hotfix package/version in ascending order by version.
This use case has been incorporated in Appian X.X Hotfix Package X.
This use case has been incorporated in the following versions/hotfixes:
- List each specific hotfix package/version in ascending order by version.

Note: When listing hotfixes, add a hyperlink to the Hotfix documentation for that version.

When logging a product defect, ensure you use the known issues tag as well as the open issues or fixed issues tag, depending if the issue is fixed or not.

If no cause is known and this is not something Engineering can reproduce/needs to know about, then say “The root cause of this issue is currently unknown.” If you use that as your cause, then a valid action must be present.

Action

Apply the latest hotfix to your Appian installation.
Upgrade to the latest version of Appian.
Apply the latest hotfix to your Appian installation or upgrade to the latest version of Appian.

Workaround

This section is optional and should only be used as an alternative action if there is a massive technical debt associated with performing the action in the above section for customers (such as upgrading). It can also be used if there is a solution to the issue in the article but is more inconvenient to implement or it causes other undesirable behavior and wouldn’t warrant being an action.

Affected Versions

This article applies to all versions of Appian.
