I think what you want to do is insert an element in a table when you do :

  "roles":x["roles"]

Which it does not seems to be the good way to do it. Try to insert your elements like this :

doc=frappe.get_doc({
    "doctype": "Mapping",
    "feature":x['feature'],
    "app_name":x["app_name"],
})
doc.roles = []
doc.append("roles", {YOUR ROLE OBJECT})

Repeat this workflow for every table in your document (initialize => append).

Hope this will help.
