Pega Value List Array to JSON string

SA-9222

Summary

We have built a PRPC REST CONNECTOR – our Work Class contains a ‘Value List’ as one of the Property Types.
When we call the “Connect-REST” method on our REST CONNECTOR – we receive an error – no attempt is made by PRPC to connect to the REST endpoint.

Steps to Reproduce

The following steps demonstrate a minimal way to reproduce the issue:

Create two properties – one scalar of type ‘text’ (‘ID’ here) , the other should be of type ‘Value List’ (‘Items’ here).

Create a DATA TRANSFORM to populate the properties:

Test the Data Transform – it should result in a Page As followings:

Create a CONNECT REST rule – On the ‘Methods’ Tab – on one of the methods (‘POST’ used here) – specify ‘Map FROM’ as ‘JSON’ and ‘Map From Key’ to point to the outer-most property (‘.Record used here).
