Bug: "Guess" on field mappings does not work, even with exact match. #42

In the kettle-qa/unitTests/registeredDefects/PDI-17034_db_checksum - when trying to work with say the output golden dataset and mapping the source fields to test data fields; when I click "Guess" all the mappings work except for two, which happen to be in all capital letters, but are spelled exactly the same.

I would have expected the "Guess" to be able to make exact matches appropriately as there is no real guessing involved. Not sure why this failed.

This dialog is part of Kettle core, not of the plugin. I have tried raising bug reports against it without much luck. Moving a fork of the code to a plugins-core project seems the next logical step.

TODO: move useful cross plugin code to a new plugins-core repository.
