Simple question regarding writing group name to database: 1. We have a CDT

Simple question regarding writing group name to database:
1. We have a CDT with a text field called "assignedgroup"
2. A tempo form allows a user to select a group from Appian groups called "testers"
3. Since a group cannot be saved directly to our CDT "assignedgroup" field, we save the group "testers" to a group field
4. We now want to convert this group field to text, like "groupName", so it can be saved as text to the CDT and written to the database
5. We tried using the group() function but documentation says it needs the id to find groupName. We don't have the id, by design, saved anywhere.
How do we get the groupName if we don't have the group id? Thanks!...

Hi Mike, you could probably create another field into the CDT called "assignedGroupId" that stores the reference of that group. When you want to convert the value to group, you can use togroup function. The other "assignedGroup" field can be populated manually from Appian provided you have already got the group ID in the first place.
