Index from a local variable querying data from the data table

This works perfectly fine for me.

a!localVariables(
  local!cases: {

    {clientId: 234,group: 55},

    {clientId: 600, group: 66},

    {clientId: 234, group: 77},

    {clientId: 600, group: 88},

    {clientId: 234, group: 99}

  },
  index(local!cases.group,wherecontains(600,tointeger(local!cases.clientId)),null),
)

Sorry I was trying to create a similar data as mine was a list queried from DB.

The right format should be as you said:

local!cases: {

{clientId: 234,group: 55},

{clientId: 600, group: 66},

{clientId:234, group: 77},

{clientId: 600, group: 88},

{clientId: 234, group: 99}

}

I’ve checked and group is actually a list of number(integer), not text as stated

Are you sure that your data really looks like this?

This: (clientId: 234,group: 55),

is not an Appian dictionary. It should use curly brackets: {clientId: 234,group: 55},

Can you share a better working code example?
