Hello - can we use special characters in LuParams MTable (under column_name)? Client is looking to use parameters that starts with * r $ to indicate special use for it to their end users.

For example, they want to create task templates and instruct users that if parameter starts with '' - like BANK_CODE - testers should not modify value for it and keep it unchanged while using this template to create their own task (or execute existing task).

I tested this in my local env and it seems working, but I'd like to confirm there is no hidden issues with it...


Best regards, Andrey

Hi.

You can add a special character to the parameter's name. Example: image

Notes: The LU name is always concatenated with the parameter's name. If you change a parameter name, you must drop the _params table and clean the LU's records from the tdm_params_distinct_values. Then you need to redeploy the Reference and rerun an extract task with sync mode force (Always Refresh Data from Source option).
