Hey.. I have created a interface with huge rule inputs. but when i add it to my site its showing an error. how can we add a new interface into another

Hi all, I have an interface with a button that calls a process model like this:a!buttonWidget( label: "Import from CSV", icon: "commenting-o", style: "NORMAL", saveInto: { a!startProcess( processModel: cons!MY_PROCESS_MODEL, processParameters: {}, onSuccess: {}, onError: {} ) } ) The purpose of this button and associated process model, is to load a csv file from the user. This data in this CSV file is then to be used to populate the fields in the calling interface. My question: how do I retrieve the process variable's in the process model identified by cons!MY_PROCESS_MODEL so that I can then set the values of other variables in my calling form?  I presume the code to do so would go into the "onSuccess" parameter, but I don't know how to reference them inside the process model... any help much appreciated. thanks, David :-)

Hi  I am trying to build a use case where user clicks on a button in UI and that redirects the user to a new interface leaving current interface in same tab. I am trying to implement this using a!startProcess() in saveInto parameter of that button. Calling the process which has start node, user input task(containing new interface)- assigned to pp!initiator, then end. When I click on button, the process triggers successfully but UI doesn't redirect to that new form in the process model called. And process keeps waiting for the user to complete the task. Can someone help what I might be missing?

Hello, I have a problem when trying to clean the data of a form by means of a button.The case is that I have an array of objects, and a button that when I press it saves an object in the array with the form data and creates another object. The problem is that when I press the button I also want to clean the form, because now I save the object in the array but the values remain in the form. Thank you!

We have a requirement where user wants to show the summary details in a new tab (same chrome tab) on the same interface when a link is clicked. Currently, we are passing the data of a particular row in the grid to the form using a process model. I mean running a process model to show the read only summary view but that's shown in same tab overriding the current view. But, they want that a new tab open on same UI (same chrome tab) like in process modeler in Appian to show the summary. Is it achievable in Appian?

I have a Record Action generated with the automatic feature by Appian that allows me to add new records to the record type, the CREATE action. How can I customize it so I can add more items before saving the form? This is an example of what I want: And this is what I have, so right now I have to add items one by one: EDIT: I know that the one I've seen is done with an editable Grid and Allowing the "Add Row Link" feature, but I would prefer not to have it in a Grid, is that possible?

Hi How to two interfaces in one form in interface

Hello Everyone! I have a Record with Shops, and then also a Record with products. In my Shops grid I have an actions that  allows me to add a Product to that specific Shop. I should have the Shop ID as a read only, since it doenst have to be changed, We should be able to fill in only the rest of the fields with the product details. When I do that, it doesn't store the Shop ID into my product information. it only stores the value if it's not a read only field AND if i edit the value.So fore example if I keep the ID as 17, it doesn't work, but iI type one more number and turn it into 171, it stores it. As u can see in the picture, the rest of the fields get saved, so that confuses me even more: Any idea why this happends and how could I solve it? This is how my interface looks like: Thank you so much for your time!

For example if we have two field : first name and last name . Now i want to edit it with new name , so we will have one link to edit it. Once i will click on that link then also we will have same field to edit it with new value. We will enter new value and click on submit button. Is it possible to achieve this without CDT ?
