Is there PREPEND and MAP TO kind of action as opposed to APPEND and MAP TO in data transform?
I am appending a new page into a pagelist, using action append and map to, this appends each new page at the end of the pagelist on click of a button where I have called the data trasform. I have used key word LAST for each SET action in data transform. However, I need to PREPEND meaning, I need to insert each page as the first page of page list and older pages need to be pushed down each time I insert new page at index =1. This is to make sure the latest pages appear first.
Is there any work around or design consideration?

Can you please try this,
First create a top level page of same class as the page list class and set all the properties to this page.
Next copy this page directly to the pagelist using prepend. This way you will be able to set all the properties at once.
Yes, you can use <PREPEND> syntax as per this help topic.
Instead of doing "Append and Map to" in the Data Transform you would need to use a regular "Set" and enter the page list name.
For example:
One other thing to note from your post is that if you are using "Append and Map to" you do not need to use the <LAST> syntax when setting the properties as the Data Transform will understand that the context is the new (last) page.
