Ah, then you may need to do some parsing of the string. Something like:

with(
 local!string: "Name:xyz; age:50;position:Development",
 local!pairs: split(local!string, ";")
 local!fields: a!forEach(items: local!pairs, expression: split(fv!item, ":")[1]),
 local!values: a!forEach(items: local!pairs, expression: split(fv!item, ":")[2]),
 type!yourCDT(name: local!values[1], age: local!values[2], position: local!values[3])
)

This example omits any type of error handling or optimization - just a simple example of how you can parse a string into a cdt type.

Hey Josh,

I tried casting the "data" in the datasubset to a cdt type but its still not working properly. The main issue happening here is to separate variable and value from the string as both at the moment act as an string only.

I recommend casting your "data" in the datasubset to a cdt type and then you can easily index the values from your list.

It gives a message i.e "List of Variant"

What happens if you do typename(typeof(index(ri!datasubset, "data", {})))

When I use index(ri!datasubset,"data",{}), It show below values

Name:xyz; age:50;position:Development

What shows up when you do index(ri!datasubset, "data", {})?

Hi Josh,

The additional attributes are already configured. When I'm just printing the value of ri!datasubset it executes fine and give me the below result

[startIndex=1, batchSize=-1, sort=, totalCount=3, data=Name:xyz; age:50;position:Development, identifiers=1; 2; 3]

but when I'm using index(ri!datasubset.data,"Name",{}) it simply came up blank

You probably need to do something like index(ri!datasubset.data, "Name", {}). Datasubsets have additional attributes like totalCount and startindex so you need to first index out the data before you can access values.
