[FEATURE] Able to add an Entity Block which is an array object of main entity (nested structure)

Closed this issue · 2 comments

Is your feature request related to a problem? Please describe.
We are the MarkLogic customer and using Pipes for the custom mapping flows.
At the moment, we have entity definitions (data models ) are nested structure.
However, Pipes can only add the entity block with flat structure of entities.
We do not want to make the nested part as an independent entities, because the nested part is only used for its parent entity.

Describe the solution you'd like
It will be good to be able to add entity block with nest structure as well.

Chunyu. This is too vague for me. You have once sent me an entity definition file.

Please sent me a (mock) output document which contains an array of things.

I have already replied you by mail that for the POC we had Customer documents which had multiple (Array) of Contracts. So what is the differences with your request.

You need to make your requests more clear, preferable by providing test data, screenshots, etc. Also you need to make me clear how this differs from Customer/Contracts example we used in the POC.

I need to understand what you want in a few seconds by seeing your screenshots and I also need to see very quickly how this differs with the customer/contract example.

Thanks Jos

Thanks for the email with screenshots. This is already doable using a reverse sourceblock. I have sent you a mail with instructions today at 22:38. I will close this issue now.
