Hi Ish,

Yes, there should be a straightforward way to conditionally omit values from the Mapper’s output without requiring complex filter expressions or the like. This has been requested by other users.

Thanks,

      Sorry, Aha is a mystery to us all. 🙂 Just reference the ticket in your communications with your CS or support rep.
