I'm struggling to find the correct syntax for saving into a nested CDT from a SAIL dashboard. The snippet below creates a valid paragraph field from my nested CDT value but the saveInto causes an error when updating the form. I am using this style of notation because the elements are generated from an apply function so "IncidentVehicle" and "VehicleMake" are dynamic at runtime. The value will save when hard-coding local!dataArray["IncidentVehicle"].VehicleMake but this isn't an option for me as the .field cannot be parameterized.

a!paragraphField(
label: "CDT Data",
value: index(local!dataArray["IncidentVehicle"],"VehicleMake"),
saveInto: index(local!dataArray["IncidentVehicle"],"VehicleMake")
)...

It need not be a local variable. It can be a rule input, for e.g
If you're creating controls dynamically, I'd assume you'll have some sort of map to say which control and of what type to create for that dynamic page. You would use the same logic to create or pass variables to store the data into.
