Concatenate the segment code of parent segment with the child segment

I have two parent groups - Control and Offer and within them we will define multiple segments, say for example - Seg_A, Seg_B etc. When I get the final output I want something like this - Control.Seg_A, Offer.Seg_A etc.

 

When I check the option 

in the Split activity I get the following error - XTK-170036 Unable to parse expression '[targetData/@segmentCode]+'Seg_A''

 

Is there a way to make this work or any workaround that can be used. I want to avoid manually entering the extended code every time.

Hello @saurav_pincha 
In the second split activity (where you see the error) > General tab please update the Filtering settings to Use the additional data only

Hope this helps!

Have you double checked the usage of quotes? Sometimes you have to go into the expression editor to check them. The visual is sometimes odd. The error you have looks like your quotes are in the wrong place.

I believe you want something like this.

'[targetData/@segmentCode]' + 'Seg_A'

The expression is being generated within the activity.

The error is because it is looking for targetData/@segmentCode, whereas the segmentCode from the previous activity is accessible directly as @segmentCode.

Can you add a screen shot of the activity with the targeting?

Hi @sukrity_wadhwa , 

 

The issue is not resolved. We are manually setting the concatenated segment codes for now. 

 

This looks like a bug in the activity code, which is preventing me from using it as intended.
