How to handle a situation where request property gets updated in a Connect Rest?

[JayachandraSiddipeta]

Hello @TanyaS58

Yes, property qualifiers like pzExternalName work for both request and response payloads in Pega REST connectors to map Pega property names to external JSON fields. While officially documented for response mapping, they also allow request payloads to map Pega properties to external names.

Alternatively, If a direct mapping fails, you can use Data Transforms with @getPropertyValueFormPage to map the request data. Do check for the usage of this approach in the below post, of course its mentioned for response mapping though.

Alternative to pzExternalName property qualifier and it's limitation

Problem Statement : We had a Integration property created at Organization layer and it was already deployed to Production. As part of requirement, we had additional fields received from the existing Rest service and existing stored proc but it was returing a data element which was having case mismatch. For ex : RelationshipToEnrollee- in Pega which already exisiting RelationshiptoEnrollee - From Rest service. Because of this, data was not getting mapped. We can had pzExternalName as the pro…

Hope this helps
