Mandatory Diff Snap Outputs

[kmiesse]

What is the reasoning for changing the Diff snap to require all 4 outputs? And what’s the best way to ignore the outputs you don’t want when creating a child pipeline and you need to “plug up” those outputs? I assume union them together and input them into what? Thanks in advance!

They were made mandatory as the resolution for errors that were seen when copying and pasting a Diff Snap that had views removed.

Thanks, I know you weren’t responsible for that decision but that seems like an unbalanced trade off. I now have to add multiple other snaps to pipelines that execute many times just so developers can copy and paste the Diff snap, which isn’t configurable enough to cause a lot of re-work, IMO. What’s the recommended way to “plug” those outputs then?

For outputs you don’t need, you should be able to just let them sit open.

Well, when creating a child pipeline I can only have one output and I don’t want any of these unwanted diff outputs as the output of the child so I believe I need to stop them. What is the recommended method?
