How are you validating the data in the array in your script task? Would you mind posting a screenshot / expression?

Sure,
1: Appian Version: 20.4
2: the process is activity chained and generates an excel file. the data is validated via API and is an array so it needs to be looped for every entry in the CDT using it in script task helped reduce number of nodes and looping within process model.
3. yes. basically it gets paused by exception and has to be restarted manually.

I agree that Call Integration smart service usage makes the most sense however the reason stated in point 2 is why I had to approach it in this pattern.

I agree - I usually prefer to use the Call Integration smart service because it has a native output for saving the success / failure of the integration. Then, you can save the results of the success / failure and potentially loop back around to retry it.

Few questions just to get context on your issue:

What Appian version are you using?
Is there a reason why you are using script task instead of Call Integration Smart Service?
When you say script task fails, do you mean it becomes Paused by exception?
