Here's a cheeky solution for your problem. This code will give you list of column names in your cdt that have changed.

It does not work for nested cdt's but you can try to improve on this. Hope it helps.

load(
  local!disectCdt: rule!disectCDT(
                      cdt1: 'type!<cdt>'(a: 1, b: "doc1", c: "desc1"),
                      cdt2: 'type!<cdt>'(a: 1, b: "doc1", c: "")
                   ),
  local!cdtColumns: index(index(local!disectCdt, "cdt1"), "columnArray"),
  local!cdt1Values: index(index(local!disectCdt, "cdt1"), "valueArray"),
  local!cdt2Values: index(index(local!disectCdt, "cdt2"), "valueArray"),
  local!changedColumnIndex: where(
                                a!forEach(
                                local!cdt1Values,
                                fv!item <> local!cdt2Values[fv!index]
                              )
                            ),
  index(local!cdtColumns, local!changedColumnIndex)
)

And this is your supporting rule rule!disectCDT

if(
  runtimetypeof(ri!cdt1) <> runtimetypeof(ri!cdt2),
  null,
  load(
    local!cdt1ToColVal: split(stripwith(touniformstring(ri!cdt1),"[]"),","),
    local!cdt1Columns: a!forEach(local!cdt1ToColVal, split(fv!item, "=")[1]),
    local!cdt1Values: a!forEach(local!cdt1ToColVal, split(fv!item, "=")[2]),
    
    local!cdt2ToColVal: split(stripwith(touniformstring(ri!cdt2),"[]"),","),
    local!cdt2Columns: a!forEach(local!cdt2ToColVal, split(fv!item, "=")[1]),
    local!cdt2Values: a!forEach(local!cdt2ToColVal, split(fv!item, "=")[2]),
    {
      cdt1: {
        columnArray: local!cdt1Columns,
        valueArray: local!cdt1Values
      },
      cdt2: {
        columnArray: local!cdt2Columns,
        valueArray: local!cdt2Values
      }
    }
  )
)

we want difference of nested CDT i.e what all fields have changed for audit purpose

Looks like the expandcdt is buggy. Better to look for an alternative to suffice your requirement. What exactly are you trying to achieve?

Hi,

For anonymous cdt it is working but for cdt type it is not working.Can you suggest for cdt type.

Please refer my previous comment for an example with nested cdt's

Hi,
How can we achieve for nested CDT types

Here's another example with nested cdt's

load(
local!subCdt: {it1: "item1", it2: "item2", it3: "item3"},
local!topicCdt: {
{id: 1, topic: "SimpleTopic1", subTopicList: {a: local!subCdt, b: local!subCdt, c: local!subCdt}}
},
expandcdt(
cdt: local!topicCdt,
expandField: "subTopicList"
)
)

Output:

List of Dictionary: 1 item Dictionary

id: 1 topic: "SimpleTopic1"

nest.a: Dictionary

it1: "item1"

it2: "item2"

it3: "item3"

nest.b: Dictionary

it1: "item1"

it2: "item2"

it3: "item3"

nest.c: Dictionary

it1: "item1"

it2: "item2"

it3: "item3"

expandcdt works only on list fields. What's the structure of your employee cdt and what type is empGender?

RE: Hello everyone,I am trying to use expandcdt() function

Hi Sunil,

If given in your mentioned format it is working.If i tried taking my cdt as a rule input as below,

expandcdt(
cdt:ri!employee,
expandField:"empGender"
)

I am getting the error-"Expression evaluation error at function 'expandcdt'"

Hi,

The expandcdt smart service function documentation is misleading. It is not documented well.

Here's an example of how you can use this function:

load(

local!topicCdt: {

{id: 1, topic: "SimpleTopic1", subTopicList: {"item1", "item2", "item3"}},

{id: 2, topic: "SimpleTopic2", subTopicList: {"item4", "item5", "item6"}}

},

expandcdt(

cdt: local!topicCdt,

expandField: "subTopicList"

)

And the output would be :

List of Dictionary: 6 items Dictionary

id: 1 topic: "SimpleTopic1" subTopicList: "item1"

Dictionary

id: 1 topic: "SimpleTopic1" subTopicList: "item2"

Dictionary

id: 1 topic: "SimpleTopic1" subTopicList: "item3"

Dictionary

id: 2 topic: "SimpleTopic2" subTopicList: "item4"

Dictionary

id: 2 topic: "SimpleTopic2" subTopicList: "item5"

Dictionary

id: 2 topic: "SimpleTopic2" subTopicList: "item6"

Hope this answers your question. Good luck!
