Hidden components of design mode interface palette

Hello, I have the following question: while watching an Appian training course the instructor used the a!dropdownFieldByIndex() component. I tried to search for it inside the interface palette when in design mode but I was not able to find it anywhere. Is there a place or a doc that contains a list of all these hidden components? Besides the a!dropdownFieldByIndex() component I know some others are a!multipleDropdownFieldByIndex(), a!radioButtonFieldByIndex(), a!checkboxFieldByIndex() and a!timeDisplayField(), but it would be great to discover more if any.

Many Thanks!

Hi Inci , You can find all deprecated Features in Appian Docs

https://docs.appian.com/suite/help/23.4/Deprecated_Features.html

As for Functions Select "Deprecated Functions"

Hi [mention:5abb751204a145abaeb28c7bf620b9d5:e9ed411860ed4f2ba0265705b8793d05] , many thanks for your reply. Actually I am not looking for deprecated functions/components, instead I was wondering if there is a complete list of all interfaces' components that are hidden in the designer interface palette. As an example:

https://docs.appian.com/suite/help/23.4/Dropdown_By_Index_Component.html

The component is not deprecated (we can use it in the 23.4 version) but if you try to search for it in the interface palette of design mode you won't find it. Hence my question: which is the complete and full list of all these "hidden" components?

There is nothing as hidden function, you will have plug-ins which will come with functions. You can take a look at Appian AppMarket. As you deploy they will appear as either components or functions based on the Plug-in.

My question was not to get the doc of the a!dropdownByIndexComponent(), I already have it, I was wondering if there is a complete list of all interfaces' components that are hidden in the designer interface palette.

As an example: the a!dropdownByIndexComponent() component is not deprecated (we can use it in the 23.4 version) but if you try to search for it in the interface palette of design mode you won't find it. Hence my question: which is the complete and full list of all these "hidden" components?

The function you are looking for has been deprecated. You can search on documentation and find the alternates. Personally I have not used the functiones mentioned by you. So below are the links to those on Documentation.

Appian Documentation

Radio Button By Index Component

Multiple Dropdown By Index Component

Checkbox By Index Component

Keep in mind, that only that version (20.2) is deprecated.

https://docs.appian.com/suite/help/23.4/Dropdown_By_Index_Component.html

Why that component is not in the palette? I can't tell you, but I assume that it is just not used a lot. If you decide to use it, just add it in expression mode.
