How to base64 encode string in expression

Hello,

How would I go about Base64 encoding a string inside of an expression?

In my use case, I have an input to a process model where parameters is a list of type map

I would like to wrap local!JOB_ID in a function that converts it to Base64.

processParameters: {
    parameters: {
        a!map("operationId": 210),
        a!map("jobId": local!JOB_ID),
    }
}

Thank you!

It's possible (if complicated) to write a (text) Base64 encoder / decoder using an OOTB expression rule.

Hi Mike,

Thank you for the response!
Does Appian not support Base64 encoding out of the box without creating a custom encoder?

If not, can you point me in the right direction as to some documentation related to this?

Thank you,

Correct

If not, can you point me in the right direction as to some documentation

Is the Appian expression Rule i wrote in the linked thread above not sufficient for your use case for any reason?
