Possible bug: wildcard field path matches nested fields unexpectedly

I may have found what looks like unexpected behavior in Celigo mapping.

I reduced the mapping in the screenshot to a minimal example to make the issue easier to see. I am using uniqueLineId as the line key to find existing lines.

In my test case, the source path is:

[*].uniqueLineId

My input has:

  • a root-level uniqueLineId
  • nested uniqueLineId values inside nsOpportunity[*]

I expected [*].uniqueLineId to match only the root-level field.

If I wanted the nested values, I would expect to use:

nsOpportunity[*].uniqueLineId

But in practice, [*].uniqueLineId is also picking up the nested nsOpportunity[*].uniqueLineId values.

That makes it seem like the wildcard path is not staying scoped to the level I expected. Which also results in an error :
{
"code": "USER_ERROR",
"message": "Please choose an item to add"
}

I have a workaround by creating a different field at the root level, so I’m not blocked. I just wanted to report this here in case it is a bug or known behavior.

Can anyone confirm whether this is expected, or whether it should be treated as a bug?

Looks like a bug to me.


Hi @nuriensing we'll create a support ticket so we can log and track this.
