In a mapping node, when I move an element that is optional in the source but mandatory in the destination, I see that the 'move' does not create the element in case the source element does not exist.
Could not find a property that would allow this configuration,
Any suggestions on how to proceed with this? I could write if/else for all such cases but that's pretty elaborate.
In ESQL, using the VALUE clause, this would have been easy.

Please define exactly what you mean by 'does not exist'.
Do you mean
- the value is the empty string or
- the value is NULL or
- the input message tree does not contain the element at all

The input does not contain the element ( since it is optional ) .

In that case you and Akil will need to fight this one out between yourselves. You seem to be getting different results after doing the same thing in the same version of the same software.

I concur with iibmate.
An instance doc with an optional (minOccurs=0) element not present that is mapped directly by a "Move" to a mandatory output element (minOccurs=1) run in IIB v9.0.0.2 does see the Mapping node produce an output doc with the mandatory element created, but with no value.
If you want to detect that the optional input element is not present so that you can assign a fixed value, you can use the If / Else transform with a condition of
| Code: |
| fn:exists( $<variable for optional input element> ) |
It is often helpful during development to run your flows with schema validation enabled, so that you can be sure the instance data conforms to the schema model that the Map has been built against. |
