updatedictionary() can be mimicked with a function, having inputs "dictionary" (any type) and "fieldsAndValues" (map). The body of the function (expression rule) is as follows:

a!localVariables(
 keys: a!keys(ri!fieldsAndValues),
 values: a!forEach(local!keys, ri!fieldsAndValues[fv!item]),
 a!update(ri!dictionary, local!keys, local!values)
)

If you wish to mimick the createdictionary() function with out-of-the-box functionality (as of 21.4), create an Expression Rule with the inputs of "keys" (List of Text) and "values" (Any Type) and use this as the body of the Expression:

a!update(cast(94, {}), ri!keys, ri!values)

Hi Daniel, we have used this plugin in our application. In light of the recent discovery of vulnerabilities with log4j2, we would like to know if this plugin uses the affected version Log4j2, and if yes, would you release an updated version of this plugin to counter the exploit of vulnerability?

Hi, updatedictionary is not working in forEach with a list of CDT's, it doesn't do any changes. This plugin works with 20.4 version?

Hi Daniel,

Thank you for this plug-in, we have used it extensively in live environments...

Recently we started getting a high risk item in health check report for dictionary manipulation plug-in for version 2.0.0

Dictionary Manipulation (com.appiancorp.cdtmanipulation) references private Appian APIs
[private] com.appiancorp.type.DataTypeProperties.getTypeof()
[private] com.appiancorp.type.DataTypeProperties.isListType()

Can you please advise if this is removed or will be removed in future version of this plug-in?

Thank you,

Kunal

Hello,

I've started facing issues with updateCdt function after upgradation to the 20.2 Appian version.
Is this function not compatible with the 20.2 version of Appian?
(I've version 1.2.0 plug-in installed, do I've to upgrade plug-in with the most latest version?)

And do updateCdt and updateDictionary function in the same way?

Please help.

Is it expected that createdictionary would return the resulting dictionary list in the order of the provided keys?

For example createdictionary( keys: { today(), today()-1,...}, values: { 0, 0,.. } ) , depending on the number of days added to keys and values the order appears to be nondeterministic.

joinCdt is not working in 18.4

I tried using the example given in the download and that did not even work:

local!a: { {a:1,b:{1,2}} , {a:2,b:2} },

local!b: { {c:1,d:5} , {c:3,d:6} },

joincdts("INNER", local!a, {"a"}, local!b, {"d"}, "a", "c", "a", "b")

get the following error: Expression evaluation error at function 'joincdts'

Hi,

I am trying to expand my CDT using expandcdt() function. It is given that the expand field parameter accepts input in "???function.expandcdt.param.expandField.description???" format. I am unable to figure out the input.

My CDT structure looks something like below,

empId: ""

empDepartment: Department(nested CDT)

dId:

dName: ""

empGender: Gender(nested CDT)

gId:

gName: ""

lastName: ""

firstName: ""

Could you please help me with an example.

Thanks in advance.
