Question

Cannot display dialog start process interface when it contains a readonly styledTextEditorField

Hello there,

I recently upgraded to Appian 24.2, and wanted to use the styledTextEditorField in my existing application.

Unfortunately, it seems to have an issue when displaying inside a dialog from a record related action.

I call a process as a record related action, with the default openActionsIn = "DIALOG" in recordActionField > recordActionItem from my user interface.

I have this interface (COR_Dtl), called as a start form of the above process:

       a!styledTextEditorField(
            value: "<b>KK</b></br><li>p</li>",
            sizeLimit: 1000,
            readOnly: ri!readOnly
       ),

When I call it with readonly = true, nothing appears in the dialog.

With readonly = false, it shows correctly.

I think there might be a bug. Or anything I should try to display the data correctly with expected formatting?

Can you raise a support ticket so that Appian can investigate this further.

thanks, it was fixed in the last release we installed, i.e. 24.2

If you can create a standalone small app that reproduces this behavior, please raise an Appian Support case describing the behavior and attach your app.  The Styled Text Editor component is brand new so i guess i'm not overly surprised that some corner case bug snuck through.

Hi Julien

I tried it. I got the value exactly. You better retry once; I hope you get it.
