Change the DataMapper validation to disallow spaces in field names because when outputting results as metadata, this causes the plugin to fail.
Force users to CamelCase (or camelCase) the variables/fields.
Or perhaps have the software underscore field names that have spaces…Yeah, kind of an annoyance but once you are aware of it you tend to use camelCase all the time.
Thanks - I still think validation would be more useful than just a doc which might be missed.
Validation would only be required when using the field names in Workflow. If you’re not using Workflow, or not using the field names, then that validation would force you to change field names that would otherwise be perfectly valid. For one or two fields, that’s fine but if you’ve got hundreds of them (and in some cases, thousands!), then it’s a pain.
We chose to implement the lesser of two evils.
