Unknown for specific field types

When using the unknown field in a select, you can either select or deselect the fields which will appear afterwards.

 

I would love to have an option or different to specify elements for fields to appear for instance having :

  • *unknown text where you could set the metadata type (for instance vwstring) and maximal length
  • *unknown numeric where you could set the type, double or fixed decimal

and for dates too

it would set a default behaviour for incoming text fields or numeric fields allowing for more precise deselction too.

Totally agree!

 

A lot of times I have to use Dynamic Select to accomplish this task to check if additional columns match a pattern or data-type.
