Hi @showsid02 ,
There is actually no coding record in this scenario. I have a string field in my excel sheet which i am transferring it to Reference field in target table. You can refer below screenshot.
Below one is the working scenario in Production instance.
In target field just mention the field name from the target table u wish to populate the data in & Reference value field name it should contain the backend name of the field u wish to display.
Mark my answer helpful & accepted if it helps you.
Thanks,
Danish

Hello @showsid02 ,
To handle this transformation from a "string" field in the source to a "reference" field in the target table, you'll need to identify a way to map the string values to the corresponding references. This typically involves having a lookup table or some kind of mapping mechanism.
Without specific details about your data and system, I can provide a generic example using pseudo-code. You'll need to adapt this to your specific implementation:
javascript
// Assuming you have a mapping between string values and reference IDs
var stringToReferenceMap = {
"string_value_1": "reference_id_1",
"string_value_2": "reference_id_2",
// Add more mappings as needed
};
// Assuming sourceData is an array of objects containing your source records
var transformedData = [];
for (var i = 0; i < sourceData.length; i++) {
var sourceRecord = sourceData[i];
var targetRecord = {
// Copy other fields from source to target as needed
// Assuming 'stringField' is the field you're transforming
'referenceField': stringToReferenceMap[sourceRecord.stringField],
// Add other target field assignments as needed
};
transformedData.push(targetRecord);
}
// 'transformedData' now contains your records with the transformed 'referenceField'
Please replace string_value_1, string_value_2, etc. with actual string values from your source data, and reference_id_1, reference_id_2, etc. with the corresponding reference IDs in your target table.
Remember to adapt this code to your specific environment and make sure you have the necessary data structures in place to perform this transformation.
Mark the solution helpful or correct if applicable.
Thanks & Regards,

you should be able to handle it via field map and referenced value field name
what did you configure? share screenshots.
