Exit message template

[5011-5011]

I receive a json message which I then convert into a hl7 message in a transformer source. The problem is that I have a script to handle the obx segments that are generated according to conditions.
When I send the composed hl7 message an extra obx segment is generated without information, and it is the same that I incorporated in Outbound Message Template, when I remove it from Outbound Message Template the channel generates an error and does not process the message.
Can someone guide me why this occurs? I attach images:

The outbound template is used for like filling in a message. So if you have a sample message that you need to send, you can paste it into the outbound template. Then your transformers can use the drag-and-drop mappings to fill in the template.

For the code you showed, what you could do instead of createSegment is just set tmp['OBX'][0]['OBX.3'] = yourvalue . If you know you will ALWAYS have 2 OBX segments you can build the template then fill it in. If you have a random number of OBX segments then keep using createSegment and remove OBX from the template

Thanks for your help! The thing is that if they are random segments and removing the obx from the template does not process the step of the transformer, and I get the following error:

You can't hardcode the Index values (i.e. [obx][1], [obx][2], etc) if you are not going to have 2 OBX segments in each message. If you don't know how many you are going to have, you should be using a counter variable (i.e. i = 0 ->conditions/loop -> i++) as your index that you increment via a loop or some other condition. That way, the index counter will also just try and create how many OBX's you need.

You can also just do

var newObx = createSegment('OBX', tmp,1);
newObx['OBX.3']['OBX.3.1'] = 'hola';
newObx['OBX.4']['OBX.4.1'] = 'howdy';

createSegment returns the segment that was created.
