How can I copy entire pxResults to Page List in one step

Hello,

I think this is a beginner question. I simply want to copy the entire list from tempPage.pxResults to MyList (Page List property in Work class). Please assume pxResults and MyList are the same class. I usually loop over tempPage.pxResults and do Property-Set all the elements, shown as below.

I do not want to append list to MyList as it may get double, so I also remove MyList property before the loop step. However I am feeling this code is very inefficient and I am wondering if it is possible to just want MyList to be overwritten by tempPage.pxResults in a single step. I tried Page-Copy from tempPage.pxResults to MyList but it did not let me save. Is such thing possible? I do not need to loop…

Regards,

@CloeW938 You can use a data transfrom here,

In data transfrom you have an option called Append (since you have both classes same) to copy tmpPage.pxResults into original page.

Creating another rule is not simple. Can’t we do this in an activity? This is a very simple operation..

Now I just simply did Property-Set tempPage.pxResults to MyList and it seems to be working for now. Is this a valid approach?

@CloeW938 simply do property-set

pagelist property on property name and page.pxResults the other side .
this work when both properties are of same class

Thanks, I did not know such simple method works! (now I wonder why many developers use loop over the list to copy one by one…)

@CloeW938 It is the simpler way to copy directly from page list to page list.

But We can do it using Data Transform, Activity is not a better approch. (Same thing in data Transform )

Append and Map to : Target-Page list(1) - For each page in(Relation)-Source :Page list(2)

In Child Steps directly set wt ever u require
