Hi ,  
As per confd 6.5 the leaf-list elements will be working like “list”  
Im changing my hook code to support this update. But, im facing with appllicaton timeout for maapi\_create of setting leaf-list element.

hook callpoint type is :set-hook  
trying to set values of leaf-list inside Create() callback function.

leaf-list logical-channel {  
type string;  
}  
keypath for this leaf : std::string keypath = /interfaces/interface{system-1}/logical-channel{value}  
return\_value = transaction\_context-\>MaapiCreate(elem\_keypath)(our own API , to inturn calls maapi\_create()😉 ==\> end up with Time out issue.

please find the logs below:

May 14 02:12:07 fujitsu oleaf\_hook\_datahandler[1921]: TRACE MAAPI\_EXISTS /interfaces/interface{system-1}/logical-channel{value} --\> CONFD\_OK

May 14 02:14:09 fujitsu oleaf\_hook\_datahandler[1921]: TRACE MAAPI\_CREATE /interfaces/interface{system-1}/logical-channel{value}DEBUG external error - application timeout  
May 14 02:14:09 fujitsu oleaf\_hook\_datahandler[1921]: --\> CONFD\_ERR

same code is working in transaction type hook.

Kindly provide your inputs on this.  
Thanks in Advance.
