Mapper Snap: Valid Column Names In Input Schema Give "Undefined" Error

Hi,

I am experiencing an issue where I have a Mapper Snap that gives the error: $[FieldName] is undefined when I input a field name in the expression box.

The fields that I am using are inside the input schema of the mapper snap (I have dragged and dropped) so I know that the fields are valid. I have tried refreshing the page, restarting my browser and clearing cache to eliminate the possibility of it being a browser issue.

Does anyone know what could be the cause of this problem?

Sure, I will attach screenshots to this response. Please see below;

Error from within the problematic snap after drag and drop:

Youโ€™re not showing us the input data but the error message means that the TAIX-POL field does not exist in some of the input documents. Try either the expression itโ€™s recommending, $.get('TAIX-POL') or avoid the issue more generally by checking the โ€œNull-safe accessโ€ box at the top of the Mapper.

Are you using quotes around the field name, like this?
$['FieldName']

Thanks for your help.

Yes, i dragged the field from the input schema and it goes into the expression box with the quotes and brackets but it gives the undefined error

Might be that you need to enable Null-safe access checkbox
