If the change you need will be relatively simple though, you can probably get away with just using the data outputs tab to write a new value directly into the array member and field in question. Configured like this:

(note, i'm using a random CDT from my system, your property names etc will be different, but the configuration is otherwise the same).

[quote userid="49454" url="~/discussions/f/general/19772/modify-multi-value-cdt/77345"]emailDetails is a Multiple value variable. [/quote]

The node input needs to be configured that way also. I can tell from your screenshot that it isn't. Gangad's comment earlier is correct, you would need to check the "multiple" checkbox for it in the node input configuration.

However it's probably easiest to do this processing in the Data Output tab, as I mentioned earlier, using a solution along the lines of what Gangad posted in the more recent comment.

You try below code .You need to use in updatedictionary in script task

a!localVariables(
local!a: {
{fromId:"parul@abc", fromName:"test", toIds:1, ccIds:23, bccIds:2, subject:"sd", attachments:1, body:12, latestBody:12, hasattachments:12, emailid:2, hasAutoHeaders:true},
{fromId:"xyz@comp", fromName:"test", toIds:1, ccIds:2, bccIds:3, subject:"sd", attachments:2, body:1, latestBody:1, hasattachments:21, emailid:12, hasAutoHeaders:false}

},
local!b:true,
a!forEach(
items: local!a,
expression: updatedictionary(
fv!item,
{hasAutoHeaders: local!b}
)
)
)

Hi gangadharr0001, emailDetails is a CDT

I want to enter headersPresent variable in the instance of emailDetails, when i am trying to do that by the following expression rule it's adding the headersPresent in the first instance of emailDetails.

For example: As the emailDetails is multi-valued it is coming as -

[fromId=parul@abc, fromName=, toIds=, ccIds=, bccIds=, subject=, attachments=, body=, latestBody=, hasattachments=, emailid=, hasAutoHeaders=true],[fromId=xyz@comp, fromName=, toIds=, ccIds=, bccIds=, subject=, attachments=, body=, latestBody=, hasattachments=, emailid=, hasAutoHeaders=false]

It is changing the hasAutoHeaders to true in the first instance as you can see when it should change the hasAutoHeaders to true in the second instance.

Please read the above main explanation.

I cant use array[1].field as that's only addressing the first instance. So for example I have at run time the multi Value CDT with the values :

Instance1 Instance2 Instance3

Field1(Text) A D G

Field2(Text) B E H

Field3(Boolean) true false false

I want to change Instance3 Field 3 from false to true

Hope its clear now. Thanks

You can make it emailDetails as Array for that just click on the multple check box and in the output tab stored values just pass data back to PV (emailDetials).and also As i understood that you want manipulate multiple instances so for that you can use updateDictionary in the script task after data back to PV if im not wrong .

if im wrong please elaborate your actual scenario with screenshots

Thanks

The "emailDetails" input isn't configured as an array - why?
Why are you doing this in the Inputs tab? It's usually easier to do data manipulations in the Outputs tab.

I am modifying the highlited variable, but email Details have 3 instances and it is modifying it in the first instance. How do i get it to modify it in the second instance, For ex i want to add/modify in emailDetails[2].hasAutoHeaders.

Please post a screenshot and/or code for what you're currently trying in your process model - I can't tell based on just the detail you've provided here.
