The version of ADM being used is out of date for the version of Appian with which it is running.
Download and install the latest version of the plugin from Forum/App Market. If you are already using the latest version of the plugin, leave a comment to the maintainer or open a case with Appian Support.
This can affect all versions of Appian. It is currently affecting Appian 17.4 with ADM versions less than 2.4.2.
