    • Click the list icon () for a list of fields in the source data.
    • Click the function icon (f(x)) for a list of functions you can use in the mapping expressions.
    • Click the arrow next to a nested entity to display or hide its children. For Context, enter the name of the corresponding object or array of objects in the source data.
      Tip: Set Context to a slash ("/") if the source model is flat.
    Examples of expressions
    • upper-case(LastName)
    • if (MailingAddress/PostalCode = "") then "00000"

    The URI under Source Data refers to a record that is randomly selected from the Source Collection or the Source Query specified in the step settings. The selected record is used as a reference to determine the source fields to include in the dropdown lists. You can choose a different record by changing the URI; however, you must remap all the properties after the change.

  2. Optional. Test your assignments and expressions.
