How The Publishing World Works Systemically

Object type not syncing Timestamp property from backing dataset after pipeline backfill (dataset shows values, object type does not)
I’m working on an ontology-backed application with an external frontend and a Node.js backend proxy that calls Foundry actions. The create object rule action works reliably for creating objects and updating related objects. The challenge is setting a dynamic timestamp on new objects (since create object rules can’t set “current time”). What I tried before: I initially attempted a function-backed action (Python) to set timestamps directly, but the function parser consistently failed with AttributeError: create_object even with minimal code. A TypeScript function repository also had module resolution issues. Since the create object rule action works perfectly, I pivoted to a pipeline-based backfill approach. Current approach (pipeline backfill): Object Dataset: Created qc_review_all_objects — a materialized dataset containing all objects (both from initial CSV and those created via actions). This dataset updates automatically as new objects are created. Pipe
What are promoted variables and how to create them on workshop?
I had an embedded module which has an object set filter, this object set filter is populated using an object set which is function backed, so the issue was whenever the user would close the embedded module and reopen it, the filter gets recomputed and loses its selection But this was solved using promoted variables as shown in the image, but I don’t know how it was solved as it was not done by me, could I understand the concept of promoted variables and how to make one on workshop 1 post - 1 participant Read full topic
How to conditionally reset / retain Object Set Filter in embedded module when parent selection changes?
Hi all, I’m trying to solve a state retention issue with an embedded module inside an overlay in Workshop. Setup I have: a parent screen where the user makes a selection a button that opens an overlay inside the overlay: a close button an embedded module The parent screen passes the user’s selection into the embedded module via interface variables . Inside the embedded module, the screen contains: an Object Set Filter an Object Table The Object Set Filter is backed by a function-backed Object Set . Current behavior The filter state is being retained (apparently via promoted variables , although I did not originally implement that part). Example: User selects A in parent screen Opens overlay / embedded module Embedded module loads filter options, and filter value 1 is selected User closes overlay User later selects B in parent screen Opens overlay ag
Academic Use of Foundry for University Paper
Hi I have been directed to post this here by Palantir Support, so here goes: As part of my postgraduate studies in Machine Learning, I am planning to write a paper that builds on my previous work with financial time series data. The focus of the work is on data modeling, pipeline design, and system integration. I am considering using Foundry to implement data pipelines (based on publicly available market data such as OHLCV time series), and integrating the results into a small, self-developed application (already existing). The application itself would remain external and consume processed data and model outputs via a defined interface. Before proceeding, I would like to clarify a few points regarding acceptable academic use: * Is it permitted to use Foundry for a university paper and demonstrator setup? * Are screenshots or architecture diagrams derived from Foundry allowed in such a paper? * Are there any restrictions on describing platform concepts (e.g. ontology, pipeli
Iceberg Virtual tables limitation
We would like to use apache iceberg inside aws using glue data catalog but we have this question , can you confirm or not this is true : If virtual tables are out because they only support append only transactions (for now) and BYOB means AWS storage + Foundry managed catalog will the iceberg data really be useful to other AWS processes like Redshift with Foundry managing the catalog? The decision then just becomes one of cost efficiency for storage via BYOB vs Foundry. I don’t have a definitive answer for this but that’s my understanding of the Foundry docs 2 posts - 2 participants Read full topic
Foundry SDK SQL Queries Errors
Hello! On my stack, I been using the Foundry sdk to run SQL queries against thousands of data sets to sample. I then package it up and run an LLM against it to get a description of those datasets. This is very much a wide governance and “what’s in our foundry” question. I know foundry sdk is in preview for this purpose. It’s actually generated several unique errors that I believe are because of the platform. If it would be helpful for the product to show the query failure errors, I’d be happy to share them to product team. 1 post - 1 participant Read full topic
