Assuming the documentation process variable is empty,I have configured the MNI.

Please find the screenshots below to configure the script task.

I already read that document but I do not clarify about my problem

you can use Multiple node instances (MNI) to set the values. Please find more info in the below link:

There is one wrong thing. After sending the form, when you save the values, in the first cdt "requests" a value is generated for the id (which has increased 1 If more forms are sent. The id field would not be null)

id name document
1 test [Document: 7910]
2 test2 [Document: 7917]

The id with value 1 or 2, I want to take it from the cdt "request" and enter it
in iddocum of the cdt "documentation". This is what I need to do

My task script would be this one. How should I enter the data in the output node
of the task script?

Hi Alastr,

Considering the form values are saved like below:
Process variables:
1)request(this will be your request cdt type)
2)documentation(this will be your documentation cdt type)

For example,
pv!request.id-null
pv!request.name-"test"
pv!request.document-"7917"

pv!documentation.id-null

pv!documentation.iddocum-null

pv!documentation.document-"7917"

write the request data using "Write to datastore entity" smart service and save the output from the Write to datastore entity node in your request process variable.It will be like this:

pv!request.id-1
pv!request.name:test
pv!request.document:7917

Place a script task after the write to datastore entity node and set the pv!request.id value in pv!documentation.iddocum and write the documentation data using another write to datastore entity node
