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")
)...

You should be able to create a rule that does the update within the rule and returns the update array as output. Save this output into a local variable (you might not need to use this local variable anywhere and you can use this single variable all over the place so you don't have too many acp!.

e.g.

saveInto: loca!something << rule!updaetMyInputArray(array,index,_)
where _ represents the value.

Hope this helps.
