If a user reports that clicking the button to complete a task does nothing, what is a likely configuration issue?

• A. The button was not configured to submit the form.
• B. The task is assigned to a different user
• C. The process is in a suspended state
• D. The interface rule has a syntax error

Answer: (A)

The action is not performing because the button isn’t wired to submit the form. In Appian, finishing a task from a task form relies on a submit action: when the button is configured to submit, the form data is validated, saved into the appropriate process variables, and the task action is invoked to complete the task. If the button exists but isn’t set to submit (or isn’t linked to the process action and the form’s saveInto targets), a click will do nothing. To fix this, configure the button as a submit action and map its saved values to the correct process variables (so the task has the data it needs). Ensure the button’s submission path calls the intended task action, and that there are no client-side issues blocking submission. Once wired correctly, clicking the button will submit the form and complete the task.
