IO Mapping to simplify complex responses not working

[Philipp_Ossler]

@klaus.nji

If instead I did this:

 <zeebe:ioMapping>
            <zeebe:output source="body" target="orgCreationProgressResponse" />
            <zeebe:output source="orgCreationProgressResponse.map.data.map" target="orgCreationProgressResponseData" />
          </zeebe:ioMapping>

I experience the error “No data found for query orgCreationProgressResponse.map.data.map.”

This mapping does not work because the source does not reference a variable from the job complete command. It is not possible to use a variable that is created by a previous target mapping.

If I have a mapping like this:

 <zeebe:ioMapping>
            <zeebe:output source="body" target="orgCreationProgressResponseData" />
          </zeebe:ioMapping>

What does Zeebe do with the original data variable called body ? Does it discard this?

Yes. If the task has an output mapping then only the defined variables are propagated. The other variables are discarded.

Please have a look at the docs: https://docs.zeebe.io/reference/variables.html#output-mappings

Does this help you?
