Ignoring nested property on AutoMapper

My ViewModel has a sequence of related entities like that:

Store.Package.Item

I am trying to ignore the last Item element on my path, when mapping from the viewmodel to the entity. That's my mapping:

  CreateMap<Store, StoreViewModel>().ReverseMap().ForPath(s => s.Package.Item, opt => opt.Ignore());

The problem is that the entire Package element is being ignored, but I need to ignore just the Item property.

Could anyone help me on this?

Regards

You can add another mapping from the Package type into itself and ignore the item property

CreateMap<Store, StoreViewModel>().ReverseMap();
CreateMap<*PackageClass*, *PackageClass*>().ReverseMap()
.ForMember(s => s.Item, opt => opt.Ignore());

PackageClass is the type of the Store.Package property

You could do something like this:¨

Mapper.Initialize(c=>   
    {
        c.CreateMap<Store, StoreViewModel>().ReverseMap();//.ForPath(s => s.Package.Item, opt => opt.Ignore()));
        c.CreateMap<Package, PackageViewModel>().ReverseMap().ForPath(s=> s.Item,opt=> opt.Ignore());       
    });
