Create Array List — Reference

Create a mutable list for the current server request/action.

Before you begin

• A Server Connect action. This list lasts within the current request/action, not across requests.

Create Array List

Create a mutable list for the current server request/action.

Settings

Setting	Meaning
Name	The name of the mutable list to create, for example products.
Value	The initial array. Use [] for an empty list or an array of records. The runtimes do not turn arbitrary text into a valid list automatically.
Define Schema	Describes the item fields to the editor and supplies schema-driven Item controls for Add/Set. It does not validate or transform the list at runtime.

Worked example

Create Name products with Value [{“id”:1,“name”:“Notebook”}]. Define the item schema with numeric id and text name when it cannot be inferred. Add Get Array List Value named result, choose products and enable Output. The response should contain result = [{“id”:1,“name”:“Notebook”}].

Check the behavior

The list is held in request/action memory. It is not a database table, browser Array component or session value. A non-array initial value becomes an empty list in these implementations; supply an actual array.

Return to the action workflow

Use a Get Array List Value step when you need to expose the final list after mutations. Use a database or server session when the data must persist beyond this request.

Check your result

You can configure this operation and verify the example’s resulting value or list.
