to an existing Data Model, for example when Workflow has to perform a lookup to retrieve a value
from a database and add that value to a new field in the Data Model.
The ExtraData field can be added to the template just like any other data field (see "Variable Data"
on page775). When it contains a JSON string, this value can be read with a script (see "loadjson()"
on page1271).
Note
When generating output with just a data mapping configuration, the template is merged with the
complete sample data file that is part of the data mapping configuration. The output is not limited to
the number of records shown in the Data Model pane (which is one of the settings in the
DataMapper).
