In that case you may have to be a little less dynamic, casting to your CDT something like below. You would want to wrap the casting in a rule, then call whenever necessary with the list input such as: rule!createMyCdt(local!listOfValues).

a!localVariables(
  local!list: {"A","B","C"},

  'type!{urn:com:appian:types}Your_CDT'(
    Letter1: index(local!list,1,null),
    Letter2: index(local!list,2,null),
    Letter3: index(local!list,3,null),
    Letter4: index(local!list,4,null),
    Letter5: index(local!list,5,null)
  )
)

Thank you Chris,

I am not sure if I am allowed to use plugins .
I guess I have to think of a less dynamic solution.

Kind Regards,

Erik

You will want to take a look at the Dictionary Manipulation plugin - very handy for these types of use cases:

a!localVariables(
  local!cdt: {letter1: null, letter2: null, letter3: null, letter4: null, letter5: null},
  local!list: {"A","B","C"},
  
  fn!createdictionary(
    keys: index(fn!getkeysfromdictionary(local!cdt),1+enumerate(count(local!list)),{}),
    values: local!list
  )
)
