Property reference from higher level is lost when transformed value is nested in new object.

[JuanHattingh]

I am facing an issue in which my transformation output is not what is expected. Any time I nest the expected output from a previous evaluation at a higher level inside a new nested object, I get null results. For example, consider the following.

Input:

{ 
  "id": "751dae4f8ddf"
}

Tranformer:

{
    "level1": {
        "quoteId": "#valueof($.id)",
        "resolved": "#valueof($.quoteId)",
        "level2": {
            "notResolved1": "#valueof($..quoteId)",
            "level3": {
                "notResolved2": "#valueof($..quoteId)"
            }
        }
    }
}

Output:

{
    "level1": {
        "quoteId": "751dae4f8ddf",
        "resolved: "751dae4f8ddf",
        "level2": {
            "notResolved1": null,
            "level3": {
                "notResolved2": null
            }
        }
    }
}

Am I missing something here or is this considered a defect?

Probably it's a defect, you shouldn't be able to resolve

...
    "resolved": "#valueof($.quoteId)"
...

since you have "level1" in transfomer...

I'll have to check it.

[Courela]

Yep, it's a bug alright, the EvaluationMode.LookInTransformed only looks from the parent of the transformed field, instead of the whole transformer, that's why you are able to get a value for

...
    "resolved": "#valueof($.quoteId)"
...

This should be the result

{
    "level1": {
        "quoteId": "123",
        "resolved": null,
        "level2": {
            "notResolved1": "123",
            "level3": {
                "notResolved2": "123"
            }
        }
    }
}

@Courela, Any idea when the PR will be completed and a new version available with the fix?

[Courela]

I'm not the owner, just a contributor, I don't call the shots

The PR seems to have merge conflicts.
