I have a REST database with an Array type. The array contain numerous long strings. I want to be able to query the database, and for every record returned, I only to get the first element from the Array field.

Is there a way to do this ?

The purpose for this is to minimize data transfer and improve performance.

Please help. Thanks

What REST service/database are you using?

Appery

We will be adding such feature, but not available yet.

Any work arounds ?

As a workaround you can add the following JS code in mapping:
codereturn value[0];/code
