Hello Colleagues,

I’m looking for help with building of the combined transform.

So the initial input from the Account Attribute is **00002121UK**

The first action shall remove UK from the value, so I expect **00002121**  
Then I need to normalize the 00002121 to 10 digits value to add 2 “0” in the beginning to get **0000002121**.

For these purposes I’m trying to combine “ReplaceAll” with “Left Pad”.  
Here is the code snippet.

```auto
{
  "attributes": {
    "padding": "0",
    "length": "10",
  },
  "type": "leftPad",
  "name": "Left Pad Transform",
  "input": {
    "type": "replaceAll",
    "attributes": {
      "table": {
        "[a-zA-z]": ""
      }
    },
  }
}

```

Probably because of the syntax issue but after Transform upload to Sailpoint tenant I’m getting the only part of it.

Hey there! The `input` section should be inside the `attributes` section.

Give this a try:

```json
{
    "attributes": {
        "padding": "0",
        "length": "10",
        "input": {
            "type": "replaceAll",
            "attributes": {
                "table": {
                    "[a-zA-z]": ""
                }
            }
        },
    }
    "type": "leftPad",
    "name": "Left Pad Transform"
}

```

There is a small typo in the code snippet u provided, type-name properties should be outside of attributes. But u are right regarding the `input`, that worked out.
