User Experience Design

Hi all,We have a business requirement where the user will enter data into a text field and if the data reaches a certain character limit say 100, we should not allow users to type more than 100. Like they want it to be freezed or stopped at 100 character length? We are showing character limit validation but they want some kind of restriction. Is it possible to achieve to such feature?

Hello, I'm getting really confused here. This error pops whenever I click on "Cancel project" but I don't think there's anything wrong with the dropdownfield component below.

Hi Champ, I have a form where I have different milestone and submit button is there in the last milestone. So user can go to any of the milestone at any given point of time during initiation but when they press the submit button, we need to show the validation for all the mandatory fields that we have in the interface. So for validation we are calling a rule which is checking for all mandatory fields that we have in one of the constants and that give us the fileds which are missing and accordingly we are showing the message to user. Now that is working filne ;but getting a strange issue here. When user submitting with giving all details in all milestone and clicking submit button the page is not getting submitted . when we click for the second time it is getting submitted. What I suspect is that for the first time it is only checking the validation and for the second click as there is no validation issue, it is getting submitted. But What I expect is fir the first time itself it will c

As asked above, it is fine when I use the field for a record list action (the same exact action, just configured in a record list action instead of a related action), it is fine when I go into my records and use the related action there, but it is not fine when I use the field for the related action in an interface. The error just states:  The record data does not exist, has been deleted, or you do not have sufficient privileges to access it. (APNX-1-4205-006) But I know it exists and there are adequet privileges because I can access it through other means, just not through an interface. Maybe this is to be released in a future update but the way Appian currently has the record action field configured suggests that you should be able to use a related action there. Thanks!

Hello everyone, I have a field for created date of type varchar(255) and it has the value in string, for example: "20220505101000345600", what I did before was converting it to date before saving it to database with this expression:  concat( mid( index( ri!pulsarMessageValue, "CREATION_TIMESTAMP", null ), 5, 2 ), "/", mid( index( ri!pulsarMessageValue, "CREATION_TIMESTAMP", null ), 7, 2 ), "/", left( index( ri!pulsarMessageValue, "CREATION_TIMESTAMP", null ), 4 ) ), but now I am required to do store it as timestamp so then I can show it in the interface.

I have a few dropdowns in my interface, however when selecting the dropdown, choices are being constrained by the UI component they are housed in. This is leading to dropdown options being unable to be selected. How can I have the dropdown choices overflow the UI elements?  (Prod) The strangest thing about this issue is that the dropdowns overflow as expected in my prod org, but doesn't work in either my Dev or QA org. My Prod org is 23.4 vs my Dev and QA orgs being 24.1. Any help would be greatly appreciated!

I am always indebted. I have a question for all you kind people.Store the array obtained from the record type in the first local variable.Stores a new array that adds part of the value of the first local variable to the second local variable.This second local variable will be used to display the graph. The first local variable stores data corresponding to the rule input value, if any. However, in rare cases, the value entered may not exist for the record type being queried. At this time, the value of the first local variable will be []. Here comes the problem. When defining the value of the second local variable, there is no problem if the first local variable has a value other than []. However, if it is [], the addition process will not be possible and an error will occur. I would like to solve this problem, but are there any appropriate functions or ideas? When defining the second local function, if I included an IF function or a NULL check, the variable definition did not work. If a

Hello,  I have a requirement where the text field should get auto-populated based on the previous action. Once the text field is auto populated I have 2 possibilities.  1. the user can click on submit without making any changes to the text field. In this case, since there is no user interaction, the value is not storing to the saveinto local variable.  2. the user can change the text field value as per their choice. In this case, the value is saving to the local variable, but it's not reflecting in the text field, since in value parameter there is another local variable. a!textField( label: "File Name", labelPosition: "ABOVE", value: local!prepopulatedName,  saveInto: local!docName, refreshAfter: "UNFOCUS", ), Here, local!docName is the variable created for storing the value for this text field.  local!prepopulatedName is the field from where it's getting auto populated.  Can someone please guide me here?
