    RFE Review. Thank you for taking the time to raise this RFE and apologies it has been in Submitted status for a while. It is possible to create a mapping with an output complex element as an array. A for-each transform can be used to apply values in to the output structure. The problem described in the RFE is that the value which is mapped into each output leaf element needs to be different, depending on whether the output field is occurence number 1, 2, 3 ... etc. This could be solved by making the current index of the output structure available to the for-each loop expression for example. Assuming we have correctly understood the suggestion, we are placing the RFE into Uncommitted Candidate status. We also note that the RFE has only received 3 votes over its 3 year lifespan, so whilst not a high business priority for us, we will continue to monitor for comments with interest.
