Hello everybody, a question about expressions and arrays here.

I have a function that takes an array of users.

I have multiple arrays of users that I want to call my function on after applying a merge (ie: I want to call my function on the first element of each array, then the second of each array, etc etc). However the apply function treats the result of a merge as individual arguments instead of a single array object when calling my expression. Wrapping the _ placeholder in the apply function with curly brackets causes a syntax error as does casting the result of the merge to a user list.

Has anyone dealt with this before and if so how did you resolve it?

From my experience, the best (and MAYBE only) solution to your issue may be to write a sub-function which you call via apply(), which then itself uses apply() to iterate over the smaller arrays it gets passed.

So something like this maybe(?):
apply(rule!myFunction_sub, local!mergedList);

rule!myFunction_sub:
apply(fn!desiredFunction, ri!smallerArray)
