Map form to object

Function: Map form to object

This function helps you organize information collected from a form into a structured object. Imagine you have a form where users enter various details, and you want to gather all that information into a single, easy-to-use package. This action takes the individual answers from your form fields and combines them into a single "object" (like a record or a collection of related data) based on rules you define.

Input,

Mapping body: This is where you define how the data from your form fields should be structured in the resulting object. You specify which form field corresponds to which property in your new object. This input is required.

Output,

Result: The name of the variable where the newly created object, containing all the mapped form data, will be stored. By default, this will be stored in a variable named CREATED_DATA.
