    Your mapper preceding the Get_Students Read might look something like this - where $Student_ID might contain the value “Student-01001”:

    Notice how “ID[*].type” matches the “wd:type” attribute value and “ID[*].value” matches the “wd:ID” tag value.

What was helpful was validating, and using the target schema to the right. Note that I’m passing the student_id in the pipeline launch parms
