I’m doing a simple transformation of array that doesnt seem to be working.  
I tried doing a node. tranform nodes

my data is  
{ “points”: [1 , 3, 4 ,5] }

i just wanna transform it to

{ “points”: [  
{value: 1},  
{value: 3},  
{value: 4},  
{value: 5},  
] }

the patter accessor doesnt seem to work?

points.\*

and is not reaching the breakpoint to set the value?

cannot do a merge as well as the array is plain and not an object.
