There are times where I would like to store more complex data as a parameter, I have resorted to json or comma-separated text (multi-line text parameter). This is mostly private parameters that specify data source, configuration or possible some initial data. In nature this data is tabular, most of the time.
- Maintaining json/text in a parameter dialog today is cludgy
- Getting the data into features requires multiple transformers
Now, wouldn’t it be nice with a table parameter type? Using a parameterfetcher could possible read the table into a list, that one can just explode/expose. Maintaining the data in a dialog set for a table would also be easier… !
