In my documentation automation process I am extracting a number of fields from invoices. I have created a task bot that both validates these fields and also extracts additional fields from the finance platform. I need to get these additional fields into the output CSV as I need these for the next step. 

 

I have got the BOT successfully add data into the fields tag and have confirmed that the JSON structure is good. But the new fields are not appearing in the output CSV unless I have added the fields into the LI. 


I am hoping to confirm if this is expected behaviour? I expected that what my task bot updated the document data that the “download bot” task in the LI process would process pretty much any fields its presented with. 

 

I guess could add another task bot to update the CSV once its generated but I am hoping for a more elegant solution. 

Hi ​@cameron.gillies ,

 

If those additional fields are not present in the Documents during the extraction, then it will definitely not be going to present in the CSV. Since you have mentioned that these fields are extracting by your bot from a Finance platform, your automation is behaving absolutely in the expected manner. 

 

Now coming to your second point, we can create Form fields and Tables fields according to the Document that getting extracted. By saying this, it is also possible to add addtional Form/Table fields nevertheless they are present in the Document or not. But DA can extract only the visible data and eventually this will come for validation due to the missing field/table data for extraction.

 

Hence, as you have mentioned, integrating the Task Bot in order to consolidate both outputs into the CSV will be the right approach here.

That’s an interesting question, cameron.gillies !
