    Hello @snowamigo,

    If you use this expression below, you will get true/false on the target path, respectively where the value of name is ‘_source’ and value of ‘value’ is ‘ERM’.

    .map(x=> x.name == ‘_source’ && x.value == ‘ERM’)

    If that is what you were aiming at. If not, please send more details on the output.

    Best regards,

    Bojan Velevski

I’m not sure a pipeline parameter would work for this case. I believe an expression file arrow function is the right way to go. Take a look at the following for a starting point. The “string.expr” gives an example of an arrow function that uses the “match” operator.

This is not a challenge… just sharing an example 🙂

I agree completely.
