I’d write this like:

```Motoko
let trx2 = data
   |> Array.map<ICRC16Property, ICRC16MapItem>(_, func x = (x.name, x.value))
   |> _.vals()
   |> Map.fromIter<Text, ICRC16>(_, Map.thash);

```

and you can abbreviate as well:

```Motoko
let {fromIter; thash} = Map;
let trx2 = data
   |> Array.map<ICRC16Property, ICRC16MapItem>(_, func x = (x.name, x.value))
   |> _.vals()
   |> fromIter<Text, ICRC16>(_, thash);

```
