Hi,

What is the actual difference between Append To and Append and Map To in Pega?

Hi @AbhishekC1725,

Append To: Append to (copy just entire data from a source).

Append and Map to: Append and map to (if we need any update or initialize) when we use, it initializes an empty page.

Please feel free to navigate the below links:

Thanks,

@AbhishekC1725 Actually Both Append and append and map to does the same thing.

I know two differences

1)In append ,we do not have control over properties but in append and map to we have control over properties.

  1. Append is used to copy a pagelist into another pagelist . Here the source and target must be of same class.

In Append and map to also is used to copy a pagelist into another pagelist .Here the source and target can be of different class.

Ex:-If we have two pagelists

i)Available Books

ii)Selected Books

In Append both should be from same class

i)Available Books(MyOrg-Application-Work-Books)

ii)Selected Books(MyOrg-Application-Work-Books)

in Append and map to they can be from different class

i)Available Books(MyOrg-Application-Work-Books)

ii)Selected Books(MyOrg-Application-Work-SelectedBooks)

  • The target and source can be of different applies to class.
  • Append to and map to create a new page without any embedded properties, while Append to action creates a new page with all the values from source page.
  • You will have a child set action to perform with Append to and Map To

Note - Both action don’t work for page group properties. Only for pagelist property.

Hope you will understand the difference after reading the above points.
