Hi, We are trying to upload some files in an Interface inside a User Input Task, we already know that submitUploadedFiles doesn´t work in an Interface inside a User Input Task as mentioned in https://community.appian.com/discussions/f/user-interface/31235/unable-to-use-a-submituploadedfiles-in-site, so we have been struggling trying to achieve this use case.Just for clarification The User Input Task is in a process model used in a Site page We are using the User Input Task because it was the option we found to share some variables between a couple of interfaces inside the process model We are really new to Appian, so probably there are better ways to do these kind of things Here some info Site/resized-image/__size/640x480/__key/communityserver-components-multipleuploadfilemanager/13f642af_2D00_f604_2D00_496a_2D00_9560_2D00_775427969df6-283275-complete/pastedimage1745529911878v2.png Process model /resized-image/__size/640x480/__key/communityserver-components-multipleuploadfile

I have a button on an interface that is used to start Process using a!startProcess in the background. Now I want the values of the field to be retained. Once the process the completed, all the local variables are refreshed to empty or null values. How do I retain these values. For other fields I am using ri! but for a particular values that I am having operations on in the interace I am bound to use local variable here. Am I missing something here? I tried using rule inputs, but the usecase requires me use a local variable here. Also tried saving this to an ri! and onSuccess saving back to local! but that didn't help. Any help or direction that I should be looking towards to solve this?

Hi! When using embedded interfaces and use the url appian-site/url /suite/tempo/ui/sail-client/embedded Bootstrap.nocache.js on the external site, where is defined the interface that will be embeded? what does this url contains?

I am using appian version 24.4 and made a user filter for a record that is populated by a lookup table. I deleted a couple of rows from the table because they were unwanted, but they still show up in the filter. If I look at the table in the db or the record for the lookup table, both show that the entries are missing, but no matter what I do, the deleted rows show up in the dropdown.  This is the table: This is what the dropdown shows: "In draft" shouldn't be there and there is a duplicate which was removed, but both remain. I saw a similar post Here but I am not sure it's the same bug or not and the post seems to suggest that this issue was solved with version 24.1. Any help would be appreciated

I have(had) an issue with a Selectable Editable Grid and I don't know if this is a bug or not. BUSINESS USE CASE I actually have two grids.  The Use Case here is to have the user assign a speaker to a parish for a parish event. One grid shows unassigned approved speakers and the other shows parishes that do not have a speaker.  There are two local variables that are loaded with this data; speakerEvents and parishEvents.  The user selects the Speaker, then selects the Parish before submitting the data. Here is the JSON for one of the grids. a!gridLayout( label: "Unassigned Approved Speakers", labelPosition: "ABOVE", emptyGridMessage: "There are no Unassigned Approved Speakers for this Event.", headerCells: { a!gridLayoutHeaderCell(label: "Speaker"), a!gridLayoutHeaderCell(label: "Type"), a!gridLayoutHeaderCe

I have two or more dropdown component and I hope that these dropdown components can share one choice list. For example I have a list like {choice 1, choice 2, choice 3, choice 4,...} In dropdown 1 the choice list should be  {choice 1, choice 2, choice 3, choice 4,...}, when I choose choice 1 in this dropdown, the choice list of other dropdown should be  {choice 2, choice 3, choice 4,...},  when I choose choice 2 in dropdown 2, the choice list of other dropdown (expect dropdown 1 and dropdown 2) should be {choice 3, choice 4,...} Can appian do like this?

Sure, here's a clearer and more structured version of your text: Hi Everyone, I have a requirement involving two tables: Tyre Data Table: Columns: TyreID (Primary Key), PartNumber (Foreign Key) Country Restriction Table: Columns: ID (Primary Key), PartNumber (Foreign Key), Country Name, IsActive (Boolean) These tables have a one-to-many relationship. For example, if we have a tyre with TyreID 1, there could be 150 entries in the Country Restriction Table for this tyre. Let's say for TyreID 1, it is active in India and the US. In this case, the IsActive column would be 1 for India and the US, and 0 for all other countries(all remaining rows). Export Requirement: We need to export the data in the following format: PartNumber Country1 Country2 … Country150 12345 1 0 … 1

Hello, I have this interface where there is a grid that shows uploaded attachments and a button to refresh the grid whenever there is a new attachment uploaded. I am running into an issue where if the user clicks on "Refresh existing attachments" when the grid is empty, then uploads an attachment, the refresh button no longer refreshes. But if they upload an attachment and click refresh after utilizing the action, it functions as expected and the attachment shows on the grid. I am trying to cover this scenario in case a user for some reason decides to click refresh before uploading and the grid is empty. Thoughts?  a!localVariables( local!readonly: a!isUserMemberOfGroup(loggedInUser(), cons!FRR_viewerGroup), local!existingFolderId: if( isnull(ri!requestId), null, rule!FRR_GET_requestFolder(requestId: ri!requestId) ), local!existingAttachments: a!refreshVariable( value: if( isnull(local!existingFolderId), null, folder( l

Hi team, I have one field in the database for the budget. Sometimes the value may exceed 100 crores, so for storage purposes, I am storing it as text. However, I want to compare that value with an integer. When I tried to convert it into number   in Appian, it rounds the value by default. Any idea how we can achieve exact value?

Hi Team , The requirement is to add dropdown filters to all fields between the header label and the first row in Readonly grid . Is this possible in Appian?

Requirement: How to implement a logic similar to the refreshAfter field in a!dateField as we do for a!textField? We would like the page to refresh when the DOB field is clicked again, and a different date is selected. a!dateField( label: "DOB", labelPosition: "ABOVE", value: ri!input.dob, saveInto: ri!input.dob, showWhen: cons!PARAMETER[2] = tostring(local!input), required: true),a!textField( label: "Address Line 1", labelPosition: "ABOVE", placeholder: "Enter Text ...", value: ri!input.addressLine1, saveInto: ri!input.addressLine1, refreshAfter: "KEYPRESS", showWhen: cons!PARAMETER[2] = tostring(local!input))

I have two interfaces 1. Home screen display all orders 2. summary page From page 2 i click on an record action to copy where a process triggered and on completion of order.  the new window closes and still the old summary page is dispalyed on the other tab. Example. when record action for copy is been triggered from order 1. new screen for order creation order 2 created and after completion. still order 1 summary page displayed on other screen unles user clicks on the menu for home page and navigate to new  order order 2 the requireemnt expects the home screen should be displayed or order to be displayed after completion  is there a way. 

We have one record type on database View. Record type is configured with Filter applied to 3 columns only i.e. "Limit search to selected fields" GRID with Record type source is showing Data with paging=50 in UI and able to see data in next page as well. User sees data with some mandatory Input filter on selected column.  GRID is configured with showSearchBox option. Now if user is entering some value in default searchbox(this value is applied with the record filter configuration which is again on 3 columns) with record type then getting below error- An error occurred because the record types source is currently unavailable, or the query reached a timeout or memory limit.  I need to understand the sequence of the search value applied to the data- 1- Will this apply to whole data(10000 rows) available to view without any User mandatory filter or only to the data coming in the Grid(with user filter applied) for e.g. 2000 rows(with pagination 50 per page)

We are facing issue like the value is Number(Decimal) when user enters - 1595739.56 it gets round of to – 1595740. Which is a concern here. Also any number which is of 7 or more than 7 digit are getting round of. We understand appian recommends the uses of ‘text field’ instead of floating point field, but this will lead to the column type changes in Database because those decimal columns can either be calculated in appian or in database stored procedures, hence as converting the column from decimal to varchar will required us to type cast them from varcharToDecimal before doing any calculation s and those are many fields which are used in calculations. Any urgent help/suggestion is really great help to me to progress.

Well, there is the reference of a!cardChoiceField. https://docs.appian.com/suite/help/25.1/card-choices-component.html The component itself is amazing. However it has one big defect, which is: you cannot (at least easily) change its card's background color. I would like to be able to keep the interface's background color on its default (as it is), and change the choice card background color to gray, black, blue, etc. So only, the card choice should get the customization. I've searched a lot and I didn't find any hint or previous usage on this. Does anyone have any idea in mind on what to do about it? I would like like this to be possible and if it's not, it should be implemented on a next version of the component. This is for UX/UI purposes.  Thank you in advance for any hints on this.
