 eval() function does the trick but as its internal function and not recommended, i will avoid it.

&lt;p&gt;&lt;a href="/members/jagjots3791"&gt;jagjots3791&lt;/a&gt;&amp;nbsp; This should be the answer.&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;Whenever you have these kind of objects, having a separate container which goes first in order for the deployment will be a better idea.&lt;/p&gt;&lt;div style="clear:both;"&gt;&lt;/div&gt;</description></item><item><title>RE: Get cdt reference by name</title><link>https://community.appian.com/thread/136374?ContentTypeID=1</link><pubDate>Tue, 04 Jun 2024 15:38:27 GMT</pubDate><guid isPermaLink="false">d3a83456-d57b-489c-a84c-4e8267bb592a:1aa3e205-1f15-4b37-8f93-a7c8f6135661</guid><dc:creator>Mike Schmitt</dc:creator><description>&lt;p&gt;I second Stefan&amp;#39;s suggested approach of maintaining a separate specialty application from which to first deploy data structures.&amp;nbsp; This vastly simplifies the issue of inter-app dependency, and there are basically zero drawbacks (we don&amp;#39;t pay extra money per app package created, for instance).&lt;/p&gt;&lt;div style="clear:both;"&gt;&lt;/div&gt;</description></item><item><title>RE: Get cdt reference by name</title><link>https://community.appian.com/thread/136369?ContentTypeID=1</link><pubDate>Tue, 04 Jun 2024 14:13:14 GMT</pubDate><guid isPermaLink="false">d3a83456-d57b-489c-a84c-4e8267bb592a:4cec71e1-f228-4b82-af09-88663ef05c78</guid><dc:creator>Peter Lewis</dc:creator><description>&lt;p&gt;Can you deploy both apps at the same time?&lt;/p&gt;&lt;div style="clear:both;"&gt;&lt;/div&gt;</description></item><item><title>RE: Get cdt reference by name</title><link>https://community.appian.com/thread/136366?ContentTypeID=1</link><pubDate>Tue, 04 Jun 2024 14:01:35 GMT</pubDate><guid isPermaLink="false">d3a83456-d57b-489c-a84c-4e8267bb592a:a58081e7-a3ba-4832-a2e6-8f7a76a65c97</guid><dc:creator>Stefan Helzle</dc:creator><description>&lt;p&gt;I understand.
