Hello everyone, I have a question regarding how Appian handles task URLs and their accessibility across different applications and sites. I've noticed that a task in Appian can be opened regardless of which application, site, or page you're currently viewing. For example, the same task ID can be accessed through multiple different URL patterns: https://<myenv>.appiancloud.com/suite/sites/any-application-1/page/<any-page-3>/task/<some-id> https://<myenv>.appiancloud.com/suite/sites/any-application-2/page/<any-page-3>/task/<some-id> https://<myenv>.appiancloud.com/suite/sites/any-application-3/page/<any-page-3>/task/<some-id> Let's suppose <some-id>=GgE4eQDCj1OX711111 All of these URLs successfully open the same task, even though they reference different applications and pages in the path. My questions are: Why does Appian allow tasks to be accessible from any site/application URL path? Is this the expected behav

I have an interface where I select numbers using a multi select dropdown .  When I select it is in the sorted order  In the next confirmation screen , I show these values in an array as a read only paragraph , it is not maintaining the sorred order ( shown below )    a!paragraphField( label: "Item #", labelPosition: "ABOVE", instructions: "", value: a!forEach( items: toString(local!selectedItems), expression: substitute(fv!item, ";", ",") ), saveInto: local!selectedItems, readonly: true ), I am displaying the paragraph as shown above , Is there anyway to display the local!selected items as sorted ?

Hello everyone! Good morning! I’m facing a challenge with a form that contains several tabs, each with the same fields, but filled with different data. The issue is that, when the user clicks the Submit button, Appian only validates the required fields in the active tab. This impacts our business logic because we need to ensure that all required fields in all tabs are completed before submission. Goal: Validate all required fields, regardless of which tab is active, when the user clicks Submit. Question: Has anyone encountered a similar situation or have any suggestions on how we can achieve this? I’ll attach an image showing part of the form for additional context.Thank you in advance for your help!

Hi everyone, There was a requirement from the user to generate a report (DOC format) using existing data from our records. To fulfill this, we generated HTML code using Appian expression rules. The output of the rule is HTML, which we then passed to the Docs from HTML and CSS smart service. The HTML we are generating includes the following code snippet to set the page orientation to landscape: @page { size: A3 landscape; margin: 20mm; } table, th, td { border: 1px solid black; border-collapse: collapse; } I would like to know whether the plugin we are using is capable of taking page instructions or not.

How can i achieve this , pls guide .  When I click on ADD PASSPORT HERE -  and upload a file the file link should be reflected on the "Password Link: " above . Also if I click on the uploaded link it will re-direct me to the file .

Hi everyone, I have an interface built using a PanelLayout. The left panel contains a sidebar with several navigation links. The right panel displays the selected content (different interfaces). The issue I'm facing is that when I open a page from the sidebar, everything works fine — the new content loads on the right and the sidebar stays visible. However, inside that loaded interface, I have more links (for example, to open details or other sections). When I click one of those links, the page reloads completely and the sidebar disappears. What I want is for those inner links to update the right panel within the same page, keeping the sidebar fixed and visible at all times. Is there a way to handle this navigation within the same interface (e.g. using local variables and conditional visibility), or any best practice for managing nested navigation inside a PanelLayout? Thanks in advance!

We have a requirement to integrate our appian workflow to cafexUI where that UI will get the active taskitems in the form of report and when they open and action any record the relevant taskitem in appian should be closed and the process model should be progressed to next nodes successfully and complete. We need approach and Error handling. We created an API which will call a!Completetask smart service which will complete the task however we have activity chaining in the process model of the task which will reopen the taskitem based on the integration node failure or it will complete when success. we need to know how to handle this?

Hi  I am getting the above error message when trying to open the particular interface in application. As per my requirement for a particular service list of 3 fee details with 4 column value will be generated and in that  i have to show 3 column in 3 row and one column should be single value .

I am encountering a very strange situation in Appian. I have a parent interface that has a choose function determining which child interface to display. Within this choose function there are 5 interfaces. When I attempt to access the parent interface I am presented with the following error.   However when I go into the interfaces listed in the error, I am presented with no error at all. Strangely enough when I remove a different interface in the choose function, not the one listed in the above error, the error vanishes. Within this second interface there is also no error. I would really appreciate some guidance here because it seems like Appian is conjuring an error our of thin air. On top of all that, this error is only present in our test environment and not our dev environment. Below are some additional screenshots. Choose function with all 5 interfaces: Configurations that do not generate the error:  It almost seems like the interaction between the first and last in

Hello,  I have a simple form with 2 textboxes and a read-only grid. Text Boxes are "required" Grid is selectable and set to "selectionRequired :true" Submit button is set to "validate: true" Issue: 1) When the from is initially displayed and i click Submit button, the "required" validation works only for textboxes and after entering inputs into textboxes, i am able to submit the form. The required validation does not work on the grid. 2) however, if I select a row in grid and unselect it and then click submit, the "required" validation works and message is displayed. not sure if I am doing something wrong or if this is Appian bug.  Please let me know if anyone else faced this issue.

Hi! I'm working on version 24.3 with Spanish as the primary language, and I've added a document upload component (a!fileUploadField) to an interface with validation to receive only an XLSX document. I used a file originally with an .xlsx extension and it validates well, but if I manually change the extension to .pdf so it converts, for example, and then upload it, I get an error that I didn't capture in my validation: "File could not be uploaded. Reason: The file extension does not match its underlying file type." It doesn't actually upload the document, and the error persists even without the attached document. Or if I upload another correct document, I have to refresh the entire page for it to stop appearing. Is there a way to bypass this validation and just leave the one I have manually, or is there a way to update the validation when a new document is uploaded?

Hi Team, I am facing issue while trying to append the data to rule input , I have editable gird with multiple components with add and remove option using same component i.e dynamic link, so I am trying to update/add some data based on the item getting added.

Hi all, May I please ask for some guidance here? I've got three record types: Consultant  Consultant Recipients  Consultant Emails To ensure data accuracy, I want to write all records records at the same. That way if the Consultant Certification write failed, there wouldn't be an entry in the Consultant Recipients  or Consultant Emails and vice-versa. Based on the following documentation is possible to do in one single Write Records Node: https://docs.appian.com/suite/help/24.4/Write_Records_Smart_Service.html#_ But when I try this, I see the related data in the interface itself under the main Consultant record - but when I pass it in the PM the related data shows as null. Thank you so much!

Hi Community,I need some help with my requirement  like below shown in the image we have scenarios - 1,2 etc and each scenario have some plan associated and for different plans different services. It's connected in that way. In that for a particular services with example here billcode as sc112 i need to replace it with a link . Basically think services are shown in grid fetched from reference table which will have plan id , service id connected and created for request level. So in different plans same services can be available. As mentioned for a particular billcode service i have show fee details available based on plan id it can be fetched. After request submission when next task created that fee details should be editable. So this is my requirement .But i am not able to find a logic for that, diffrent plan can have different fee details so in each service grid associated with plan will have different fee details. Anyone can help me? How can I save them into table? My overa

Hi, I am trying to add a more less link on a column in a read only grid. However, it only works if the grid has indexed data and not if it is converted to json. Converting to json is also mandatory as the paging is not working if the grid rows are not converted to json(The data is coming from record type). I already tried the "a!fromjson" function on that specific column but the link is not working.  Is there a way that the more/less link can work even if I convert the grid to json?

Hi,  Does any have idea, how search will work in dropdown. I can see, there is only an option to show or hide a search box. I think it's a default behaviour. Sometimes it works and sometimes it don't work. I'm posting one weird result from search.  Please let me know, if anyone had any idea. 

Hi Team, We have a requirement from the regarding a read-only grid. The grid is sorted first by Meeting Name, and then by Supplier Name. The client expects a visual indicator (like a bottom line or separator) between different suppliers to help users easily identify when the data switches from one supplier to another. For example, after all rows for Supplier A, there should be a highlighted row or separator before rows for Supplier B begin. Is this kind of visual separation possible in Appian grids? Meeting Name Supplier Name Data Meeting A Supplier A 23 Meeting A Supplier A 87       Meeting A Supplier B 56 Meeting A Supplier B 7 Meeting B Supplier A 45 Meeting B Supplier A 456       Meeting B Supplier B 56 Meeting B Supplier B 56

Hello Appian fellows, I would like to explore the possibility of validating data across different tabs. Request is to display multiple tabs, every one of which should open a dedicated subtab group. Let's say I opened the second tab and am currently viewing the first subtab (see image below) . [View:https://ibb.co/PNLMTFY:320:50] My question is, is it possible to validate fields on different subtabs in a way that subtype 2 and subtype 4 have a red underline/red background/red star or any other indicator that there are some required data missing on those subtabs and process cannot continue (Next button would be disabled). Idea is that users don't need to circle through tabs searching for where the missing values are. Thanks!
