Custom function input parameter option for CVL's

What impact would it make?

More customer friendly, less unneeded CVL's

How should it work?

Add an option for the CVL-based input parameter option to choose for either Key or Display Value usage in the custom function


Why is it needed?

In my use case, the input parameter CVL key does not exist in the CVL against which I'm comparing. With that CTX function you pull the CVL value, hence the check doesn't work out. Two options left to solve this:

  • Generate a new CVL where the key = display value (which worked out fine in this case), you only have an additional CVL just for this reason.

  • Switch the input parameter to text with the risk that the user makes a typo resulting in a no match just because of a typo.....

If in the input parameter option I could choose to use display value instead of the key, this workaround is not needed...

    Could you remove the CVL from the input and let the mapper just input any Country Code instead of choosing from the CVL?
