Problem with Pipeline Parameter in Mapper Snap

I am using a mapper snap to extract data from a json schema. This is the code from the expression {id:$id}.extend($.fieldValues.map (elem => [elem.id, elem.type, elem.value])) What I want to do...

you shouldn’t need parenthesis around the name. “_field1” should work.

When I try it without the parenthesis around the name. “_field1” All I get is the parameter as a string.

Snap,

Any ideas??

    Have you tried putting it in an expression library and then reference it there?

    For example, I have an expression library file invItems.expr:
    {
    INVOICE_TARGET_DATE: _invoice_date || Date.now().toLocaleDateString(‘{"timeZone":"EST", “format”:“yyyy-MM-01”}’)
    }

    and then i reference that in the pipeline:

    lib.invItems.INVOICE_TARGET_DATE
