How do I optionally save a custom data output to an array? A script task custom

How do I optionally save a custom data output to an array? A script task custom Data Output requires a target output, so if I try and use an if conditional like this: if(pv!newStaff.hireDate > today(),pv!newStaff.firstName,{}), I end up with a array index of blanks, when I really want no array index added. I want to be able to only add to array index if condition is met but as target output is required, it's saving a blank rather than do nothing as desired.

How can this be done?

Thanks

Instead of using 'appended to' in the output condition, use append() in the expression and choose 'save as' for the condition. ex:

if(pv!newStaff.hireDate > today(),append(pv!YourArrayHere,pv!newStaff.firstName),pv!YourArrayHere) -> Save As -> pv!YourArrayHere.

Which will essentially either append a value to pv!YourArrayHere, or save the array back to itself (i.e. doing nothing).
