Create Filters and Transformers in a Playbook

You can create filters and transformers when adding or editing a task in a playbook or when mapping an instance.

You can filter as many nested objects as required. Cortex XSOAR automatically calculates the context root to which to filter. For example, if you want to extract all Item names in EWS, Cortex XSOAR calculates that the context root is

EWS.items

.

You can change the context data root to which to filter, but it is not recommended to select a different root, as it affects the filter results. The drop down list displays the filter root for backward compatibility.
