Data Transform form - Append to action

Usage

Use the Append to action to copy a page from the source to the target, or to copy all of the elements in a source Page List property to a target Page List property. The target must be of a class that is compatible with the source page. (To append a page to a target having a class that is not compatible with the source's class, or to conditionally map source data, use the Append and Map to action.)

Example

In this example, Shipments and ShipmentGroup are properties having the same Page Class. Shipments is a Page List property, and ShipmentGroup is a Page Group property. The Append to action specifies to copy each page from ShipmentGroup to Shipments.

Append to .Shipments each page in .ShipmentGroup
