Used newly created field in update data activity as below:

Hi,

If you have defined variable in javascript as:

vars.email=" ";

Then, you have use this variable in update activity as:

$(vars/@email)

Hi,

For vars.varname in js, source field is $(vars/@varname).

You can also cast as needed, $string(vars/@varname) and so on.

If you want rows to have different emails, alter the target table in the js and use that.

Thanks,
