Append To method in Data Transform
Hi Folks,
In my project, I find that in one of the scenarios a page needs to be copied onto a pagelist(<LAST>). so a data transform with AppendTo method is used with the target as the pagelist and source as the page. During the execution, at times the embedded pages of the page are not copied into the pagelist. the entire process happens through Agent.
I found an interesting link in PDN, https://community.pega.com/sites/default/files/help_v73/rule-/rule-obj-/rule-obj-model/actionappendandmapto.htm
Unlike the AppendTo, The Append and Map to method act like <APPEND> and source, target properties should contain the same data type(pagelist or pagegroup). But what if the AppendTo method is used with different data types (page with pagelist)?
Does the execution happen as create the Top and Embedded pages like in Page-New? but copy only top source page to top target page?

Hi,
Try the below methods:
1. In data transform use "SET" method instead of APPEND / APPEND AND MAP TO
2. In Source specify like this:
Target Source
.PagelistPropertyName(<APPEND>).Propertyname1 Pagename.Propertyname1
.PagelistPropertyName(<LAST>).Propertyname 1 Pagename.Propertyname2
Hope this will work. If not then share screenshot
