Mass update objects without iterating or functions, is it possible?

Working with a REST-heavy applications I find myself doing something similar to the example below quite often. I will use the Tasks and Projects as an example.


Imagine you have this data model. Unfortunately the projects and tasks come from separate API calls so you can’t use nested mapping. Also the customer has an amazing amount of projects and tasks.

The fastest solution that doesn’t produce errors I have found so far is to use a function similar to this when using an Update Object on Task with selection All.

Is this the best solution? In a perfect world I would like to do something like this on a single action node Update Object(s) with a filter or similar without having to use a function.

Hi @torstro, as far as I know, using a function is the only way to solve this if you want to avoid an iteration, since it’s currently not possible to apply filters in a data binding.

Okay, thank you for your reply.

It would be a cool addition if something like this was possible in the future.
