Hi, I need to create a pie chart with the output from expression rule. I can use a!queryEntity() if the output is in Datastore entity with the help of aggregation functions. Can anyone help me how to store the expression rule output to Data store entity or how to use the rule output directly in pie chart creation. Thanks in advance.

More frustrations (adding to the pile) in switching over to RecordType style data, and/or supporting other people who use it as is my particular case... I happened to notice the other day, if you save "fv!selectedRows" into any sort of variable, from a!gridField() when using RecordType data, it does NOT (seemingly(?)) work as expected. What it does: sets the save target to the value referenced by visible columns only plus the primary key.  By "visible columns" I mean only those which have been added to the grid, for some reason(?). What I was expecting: when using Entity Data, "fv!selectedRows" will save the entire row in question (regardless of which columns have been added to the grid). What the documentation says: well, not that much... but the implication is that using it should "avoid having to re-query data", which is not what we're seeing here. The important use case: I want a grid to select rows, edit the selected data, then sa

I am having a editable grid in that there is a field that should autopopulate a value eg. there are two fields start date and end date I want to find the difference and then in days field it autopopulate the no of days  In interface level the value is showing in that field but it is not saving in rule input

Hi folks, New to Appian! I need to create an interface which will allow a user to select/unselect the countries based on regions. Description: 1.

I had created the add new vehicle interface as the assignment for the appain developer part but in the add new vehicle form when i entered my values the values are getting disappear how could i resolve this can isuue ?

I create an editable grid where i can see the data of my CDT "Client" (red square) and the relationship or related data from CDT "Vendor" (blue square). Now I want to select many rows to call a related or record  action to UPDATE the selected fields in the black square. (don't add more rows or delete, just UPDATE) The data of the editable grid table comes from a form from another interface. For example, in the image below, I select 3 rows, then for those 3 selected rows, then click a button or link to call a preconfigured related action to update the values in the black square. The idea of this is to use the select to call a related record or action for bulk actions instead of making changes row by row. Is it possible using a editable grid or a real only or is there another way to do the same?

Hi, How to show number remain of character in paragraph field Thanks.

I have a linkField with a recordLink. It displays the wrong label, but when I click the link it takes me to the correct record.  My main table has two columns that are foreign keys to another table for contacts. Ex. Main table has columns primaryContact and secondaryContact. Row 1 has primaryContact 1 and secondaryContact 2. The 1 and 2 are foreign keys that reference the Contacts Table, with columns id and name. Row 1 has id 1 name Michael. Row 2 has id 2 name Luis. Ex record link: a!recordLink( label: ri!record[recordType!MainTable.relationships.ContactsTable.fields.name], recordType: recordType!ContactsTable, identifier: ri!record[recordType!MainTable.fields.secondaryContact] ) The expected behavior is to see the name Luis and when the user clicks Luis, it displays Luis's record.  The actual behavior is it shows the name Michael and when the user clicks Michael, it displays Luis's record.  So, it is displaying the wrong label, but the correct

Hi, Can we customize the filters on the grid with different icons instead of icons ?

I had created an interface that calls another interface. Also, I had created a counter as a local variable that is incremented by 1 every time a button in the interface is pressed. On every button press I want to add a new section that calls the child interface. My problem is that on the first press only the child interface appears! So here is the code if you can help me a!localVariables( local!count: 1, { a!sectionLayout( label: "Click the button to add a new Customer Currency section", contents: { a!buttonArrayLayout( buttons: { a!buttonWidget( label: "Add new section below", icon: "plus-circle", value: local!count + 1, saveInto: local!count, size: "SMALL", width: "FILL", style: "PRIMARY" ) }, align: "START" ) } ), if(local!count<>1,a!sectionLayout( label: "", contents: { rule!C_CustomerCurrency(ri!Currency) } ),"") })

Hi, In record type, I use a!startProcessLink to start interface from a item of record list.  It must be that: Once "yes" button of Form is clicked user is routed back to list of records with filters being intact he has already applied for in client.  But, when "Yes" button of form is clicked, it dose not like that, even that it can't return route list of record. I don't know how to fix it.
