How to append the existing page list without overriding in Data Transform
Hi All,
I have requirement where i will have pagelist in the following way.
ABC(Page list)
ABC(1) contains .Name=PQR, .Address=XYZ
ABC(2) contains .Number=RTY, .Mobile=IOP.
I need to append the new page list DEF(Page List) which contains .office=DFG, .Landmark=XCV
in ABC(1) without overriding the existing properties in ABC(1) in data transform. If i use APPEND and MAPTO data is getting overidden.
Please let me how do i do this.
Thanks in advance for the help!

You can use Append and Map to method in data transform. Loop through DEF pagelist and set each property to respective properties in ABC pagelist using <LAST>. Because if you are setting directly whole pagelist will get overrided with new pagelist.

You need to get index of DEF(Page List) from which you need to get the values...
For getting index of pagelist you can use pega OOTB when condition @IndexInPageListWhen("When Rule Name","Page List Name")
For Example - @IndexInPageListWhen("IsValidOffice",.DEF())
IsValidOffice when rule condition = .office=DFG && .Landmark=XCV (When Rule should be in your page list page definition class)
In Data Transform please follow the below steps
Step 1 -> Set = Param.LocationIndex = @IndexInPageListWhen("IsValidOffice",.DEF())
Step 2 -> Param.LocationIndex >"0"
Step 3 -> ABC(1).office = DEF(Param.LocationIndex).office
Step 4 -> ABC(1).Landmark = DEF(Param.LocationIndex).Landmark
By using the above logic instead of hardcoding ABC(1) -> ABC list index, dynamically you can have your logic to find index and then you can copy the values without overriding any existing values in ABC list..
