03/20/2023, 11:58 AMIt’s possible that this isn’t supported. I’d wait for a maintainer, but I would guess it would be either of:
1) Not supported in the DSL yet
2) You provide an object like
{ anIdHere: UUID1, anotherId: UUID2 }[UUID1, UUID2]Timothy Jones

Copy code
fromProviderState(<string that gets parsed>, <example string with replacements>)Timothy Jones

Tim is correct, the two values are the expression to use on the provider side, and the example value to use on the consumer side.

Thanks Ron. I also realised I misread this thread in the first place. Sorry team
