Alternately, if local!getEmpDetails is supposed to only contain one entry, you would want to take the first index of the query results, such as by adding [1] after .data, or by calling the index() function on it. Another way that'd work (and let you skip type casting the document id, to boot) would be to cast the query result to your CDT type, using cast().

Examples:

/* variant 1 */
a!localVariables(
  /* assumes there will always be (at least) one result; will break if there are 0 results */
  local!getempdetails: rule!HD_getEmpDetailsbyId(
    id: ri!id
  ).data[1],

  a!sectionLayout(
    label: document(tointeger(local!getempdetails.resume), "name")
  )
)

/* variant 2 */
a!localVariables(
  /* safe against 0 query results. slightly increased code complexity. */
  local!getempdetails: index(
    rule!HD_getEmpDetailsbyId(
      id: ri!id
    ).data,
    1,
    {}
  ),

  a!sectionLayout(
    label: document(tointeger(local!getempdetails.resume), "name")
  )
)

/* variant 3 */
a!localVariables(
  /* also safe against 0 query results. no need to type cast later. */
  local!getEmpDetails: cast(
    'type!{urn:com:appian:types:EXAMPLE}YourCDTGoesHere',
    rule!HD_getEmpDetailsbyId(
      id: ri!id
    ).data
  ),

  a!sectionLayout(
    label: document(local!getempdetails.resume, "name")
  )
)

If I am reading the error that you posted correctly, it is because the local is an array (even if only one value is in it). You need to look at putting this in a looping function or point to a specific index. Hope that helps

Hi Chris,

no luck, Still I'm getting the same error.

Please find the below snippet.

First I would try wrapping the values in todocument() to get past the type mismatch, and go from there:

label: {
/*"" & document(todocument(local!emp.resume),"name") ,*/
"" & document(todocument(local!getempdetails.resume),"name")
},
