Hi, I'm following the Appian dev course and one of the steps require me to Generate an Interface from the "Views" section of a record type. However, that button isn't showing up on my workspace. I tried to create an interface manually but couldn't get around to doing it since I am new to Appian.  "GENERATE INTERFACE" not showing up. Appreciate any help I can get on this one. Cheers!

I have a ref CDT and from the ref CDT i am extracting id and name values using expression rule and using this expression rule as a local variable in the interface (i,e local!ammenityTypeList). Now for choice labels i used the name and for choice labels i used id . For storing these values i am using another CDT which consists of an integer field which is a foreign key. here my requirement is : 1) when I select the values it's displaying the numbers when it is in read-only format . But I want it to be names! . 2) I should have the option to select my own values but instead, it is selecting all and taking all of the values.  These are my requirements , can anyone suggest how to solve them.

We have a variety of tools to force data refreshes on interfaces on local variable changes. For example, this is easy to do using a!refreshVariable and I've even found ways to force read-only grids based on record data to refresh using little hacks like this in the filter logic: a!queryFilter( field: <field reference here>, operator: if(local!updateMeToRefresh,"=","="), value: ri!id ) However, even this technique doesn't seem to work in charts such as a!barChartField() where a!recordData() is used as the data source. I have an interface where I'm showing some charts based on record data and I'd like the user to be able to refresh that data on demand (there are other components in the interface that are used to update the data behind the chart) without having to reload the page entirely. I want to use record data here, but I may have to change to local variables unless there is a way to make this work. Looking forward to your ideas!

Hi, I want the Approval form as Read Only except the radio button for approve or reject purpose and no cancel button. I want different logic other than given in  https://docs.appian.com/suite/help/21.2/SAIL_Tutorial.html. I do not want to pass a step input and then make it read only. Could someone please suggest? Thanks Faisal

We just want to find out if there is a possibility of downloading Community from the designer like the download feature available for Knowledge Center. We have several acquisition documents in knowledge centers which is stored under communities. Would like to know if a download feature is available at the community level since KC level download has to be done page by page in the designer and we have thousands of pages. We are in 18.2 version. Thanks, Meena
