Hi All,
Is there any way to retrieve the fields of CDT and store in a variable (multiple type)? Scenario: I have to fetch all the fields of CDT (like- EmpId, EmpName, DOJ etc.) and showed them in a drop down options of a form interface.

Hi Amit
If I'm not wrong you want to get the field names of a custom data type irrespective of the CDT type. If yes, I'm not aware of any existing Appian function which provides such functionality but the generic expression given below will be helpful to get all the column names in the CDT.
load(
local!dataType: tostring(cast(typeof(ri!data), {} )),
local!columnNames: extract(local!dataType, char(44)& char(32), char(61)),
columnNames
)
Here ri!data can be of anyType to make the expression as generic.
Please let me know if I got you wrong.
