Select mapped fields in transformations
It would be of incredible added value if it were possible to select a mapped field in the data transformation option, which would give incredible flexibility to the process of mapping and transforming data between information systems.

If the field Appeal = "A" then take the value of the field "Date", if the field Appeal <> "A" then the field = BLANK.

With the recently released updates to Transformations, you can accomplish this use case by stacking different types of transformations together.
For example, to populate Gift Type only if the incoming Gift Amount is not blank you would:
- Map Appeal
- Add a "Concatenation" transformation to add Date
- Add a "Replace" transformation to transform "If does not contain A" to "Blank"
- Add a remove custom text for "A"
This will ensure that the Date field coming in is only populated if the Gift Appeal is A.
Depending on your incoming data, there are many variations and approaches you could take to setting up this transformation logic. We will continue to look into adding new Transformation Types in the future to improve efficiency and capabilities.
