You can use "type!" more, eg.

I am casting local!lookUp_cdt into SOM_Lookup'() type. You can copy and pate into your rule and change the CDT name accordingly. Hpoe it will help.

local!lookUp_cdt : 'type!{urn:com:appian:types:SOM}SOM_Lookup'()

I think I resolved it, with typeof() i get the type of the CDT in a number, then i pass to the process a text variable with the value ToJson(pv!mycdts) and typeof number. In the process with a script task I do cast( typeofnumber , fromJson(pv!mycdts))

You could use a Map() type to hold an array of different arrays of CDTs).
