Convert existing dictionaries to transformations
As I am getting started with the Omatic Cloud, it would be wonderful to be able to convert existing dictionaries to transformation or at least copy and paste into a transformation rather than enter line by line. Thanks!

having to rebuild the same transformations over and over and over and over again is not only frustrating, but introduces a huge risk. If I forget to update one transformation, my formula is now wrong. Whereas with a saved transformation, I only have to update on transformation, and all the formulas using it are updated.

The reason this is so critical for us is the address and RegEx transformation dictionary that we have in IOM. It has hundreds of entries to help format addresses properly (abbreviations, no punctuation, etc). I now have to try to build those in the Cloud and not only that, I have to build them over and over for all our Formulas!! So maybe converting existing dictionaries isn't possible, but finding a way to create this one in the Cloud is what we need. It would be ideal if you had a built-in transformation to do this to addresses as I'm pretty sure most clients want to adhere to USPS standards.

More generally, the Dictionary function does not exist at all in OC. That has to be added as a component as it is built into everything we do in the databse.
