insert-field-action has no documentation on how to set headers/fields as value

[hguerrero]

When using the insert-field-action I want to use a header value like the timestamp as the value for the newly inserted field.

Example:

{"message":"hola mundo"}

I would expect to have something like this:

    - properties:
        field: ts
        value: ${timestamp}
      ref:
        apiVersion: camel.apache.org/v1alpha1
        kind: Kamelet
        name: insert-field-action

producing the following message:

{"message":"hola mundo","ts":1628678472}

It doesn't work in the same way as Kafka or Kafka connect. I'll see what could be done, but this is not critical

[oscerd]

By the way, what do you mean by header, a kafka header or a camel header? I don't think this is feasible in all the cases.

@oscerd Camel Headers, or basically using any of the languages we can use with camel, like simple for example to get more dynamic values instead of just a contant.
