RE: is cast() case sensitive ?

Cast() IS Case Sensitive:

load(
  local!case: {
    title: "Mr.",
    DESCRIPTION: "Example"
  },
  fn!cast(
    'type!{urn:com:appian:types:SJB}SJB_CASE',
    local!case
  )
  
)

The CDT used in the above example has all of its attributes (other than its Primary Key) in lower-case and the output is as follows:

SJB_CASE
    CaseId: null (Number (Integer))
    title: "Mr."
    description: null (Text)
    owner: null (Text)
    status: null (Text)
    startDate: null (Date)
    endDate: null (Date)

As you can see, 'title' is copied across, but 'DESCRIPTION' is not.

I do not know if a way of accessing the individual attributes and applying any function to change the case of any attribute. As far as I know your only option is to hand-cast the data:

load(
  local!case: {
    title: "Mr.",
    DESCRIPTION: "Example"
  },
  local!castCase: 'type!{urn:com:appian:types:SJB}SJB_CASE'(
    title: local!case.title,
    description: local!case.DESCRIPTION
  ),
  local!castCase
  
)

Hi tushark,

cast() is not a case sensitive..

if you want convert json to respective cdt we can use below code.

load(
local!jdata: {

"firstName" : "Abc",

"LastName": "Xyz"

cast(typeof(
'type!{urn:com:appian:types}employeedetails'()
),local!jdata))

it will work.
