Steps to Configure

- In the Task panel, search and find the Load Entity task.

In this case, the parent entity will refer to the child entity as follows: #Sample entity path: User Address.City In the above syntax, the parent entity, “User Address,” is referring to the child entity, “City.” The “City,” as a child entity, will store the city of the user. | No |
