Hi there, I have created two interface which are MedicalRequestForm and EquipmentRequestForm, then I created third interface as RequestForm where I took a radio button and shown the value as RequesType (Medical and Equipment). I want that MedicalRequestForm or EquipmentRequestForm must be shown on the basis of radio button selection which is working. But In my first both interfaces, I have one dropdown, so whenever I am selecting a value from the dropdown, then whole Interface (RequestForm) is getting reload/refresh. Note: I took the rule input as ZMS_Requests in all the interfaces separately. Please see the below screenshots: 1. MedicalRequestForm: 2. EquipmentRequestForm: 3. RequestForm (without selection): 4. RequestForm (with selection of Medical): 5. RequestForm is getting back as screenshot no.3 when I select a value from dropdown Animal Name as above screenshot. Could anyone of you help me to resolve this issue? Please let me know if you need code.

Hi Everyone, My requirement is - I am showing an Admin Form, When The user enters data in the fields, they get stored in the database and I am showing the details in a selectable grid. The user can add a row or update/remove any row by clicking on the particular row from the selectable grid which will show the data for that specific row in the form. It is working fine for text box control to fetch and show as well as be blank while entering a new data row(event).But when it comes to a dropdown(year), I am facing an issue with the below code to fetch and show the field for selected row but be blank and mapped to rule input or local variable while adding a new row, for that control.

We are on Appian cloud version 21.4. Recently we started seeing the following message when process completes. We can't seem to find what's causing this or how to turn it off. The same process in a different environment with different Appian Version does not show the message. FYI: This is not an embedded interface. It all within the Appian Platform. Does anyone have any insight on this?

Hi Team, we have an on premise Appian 21.X setup. For some of our end users, who are external users of the application, are using VPN to access application. They are currently facing issue as below the files are dragged on the form (max 2 at a time, avg 5 MB file) Form is submitted user waits for the upload to happen but it fails to happen or sometimes take time for user to keep waiting for file to show  While looking at File Upload component documentation, I see below. Temporary files When a file is uploaded, the component updates with a temporary Document representing the uploaded file. Between the upload and the form submission, the file on the server is an inactive temporary file and not accessible except through fv! variables described in the File Name, File Description, and Validations parameters. This is the only way to access file metadata before the form is submitted. If a file is uploaded to a form that is never subm

Hi All, I am using custom picker to select the account managers. So in the current screen, when the user selects the account manager it displays me the selected user in custom picker.

The reason is I am using local variable for value parameter in the custom picker since the field which i am trying to write  in DB is of type varchar. Can you please help me to populate the data to the next screen and also to allow it for further selection. Thanks in Advance!!

If a variable does not have a value save into it how do you hide it in the interface? This was my attempt at it using the showWhen variable: a!dateField( label: "Tier 2 Findings", labelPosition: "ABOVE", value: ri!svcRequest.tier_two_date, saveInto: {}, showWhen: if (ri!svcRequest.tier_two_date, true, false) , readOnly: true, validations: {} ),

In our system a user can enter up to 3 studies but only one is required. My current work around is saving any studies not entered to "N/A" if( isnull(ri!svcRequest.study_two), { a!save(ri!svcRequest.study_two, "N/A") }, {} ), if( isnull(ri!svcRequest.study_three), { a!save(ri!svcRequest.study_three, "N/A ") }, {} ),Issues is In the follow up email it looks like this: We were pleased to support your review by performing additional analysis on studies: cat, N/A, N/A How do I show and hide variables with null values so the sentence above only shows studies that are entered?  We were pleased to support your review by performing additional analysis on studies: cat Side note: this is what the email expression looks like: =pv!svcRequest.study_one & ", " & pv!svcRequest.study_two & ", " & pv!svcRequest.study_three

What i have tried: I have kept a read only grid to make it as read only, instead of a temp variable i have queried the data from a table and made only single row is visible so that the last updated value is visible. But i do not want the value to save  in a table and query it to make it visible on the form, instead i just need a temp variable which holds the last updated value as read only.

As you can see on this attachment a scroll bar is appearing when displaying a rich text edited field.  If I go in and remove a couple of lines of text the scroll bar goes away.  Does anyone know why this scroll bar is showing up?  It does not matter how big the area field is in it always shows up. For example, I can remove the last sentence and the bar goes away.  So it seems to be tied to a character count.
