I'm trying to integrate with a service that has nested multiples. I have followed all directions I can find on forum, but I'm still stuck. I created a PV of the parent CDT of the nested multiple, but I'm still unsure as to how to retrieve the elements that are supposed to be returned for that nested multiple. I can also see in the application log file that the elements are getting returned in the web service response....but how do I map them to a PV or my pre-existing CDT? Also, I continue to get this error...(Cannot slice index (index by name on a list) when the element has no list type) (Data Outputs)

Please help!

    Thanks for the comments guys! I did create a CDT last night that matches just the nested multiple in the web service. I saved the parent of the nested web service to it's own PV (of type defined by the web service, and a multiple). In a script task after the "Call Web Service" node I created an output that maps the following:
    pv!holding.securityPosition
    is stored as
    securityPosition (the CDT I created that matches the nested multiple and is a multiple)

    I get this error in my script task..."There is a problem with task “Script Task” in the process “TESTING_Get Holdings Web Service Call”. ERROR:An error occurred while evaluating expression: securityPosition:pv!holding.securityPosition (Cannot slice index (index by name on a list) when the element has no list type) (Data Outputs)"

    Am I getting this error because I'm not defining the index? i.e. [1] The problem is I was all values returned, not just for a specific index.
