Flow shape to call Data Transform
Hi Team,
Would it be possible to include utility like shape to call Data Transform from flow so that Data Transform and description would be visible from Case type and App studio.
Currently we can call Data Transform from connector but its description is not visible in the Case type.
This feature would help in readability of the business flow from the Case type and App studio.
Thanks,
Lalit

@Lalit_Singh Hi, I am trying to use this 'Run Datatransform' shape in the flow. It has a dropdown to select the DT, but it doesn't show me any DTs that are created. Could anyone please suggest ?

@NarenV50 I was trying to use the same functionality and I realized you need to mark the Data Transform you want to see there as a relevant record otherwise it won't appear on the dropdown

If you want to call DT through "Run Data Transform" shape within flow, first you need to mark DT as "Relevant Record". This option you can get it from Action Button of DT rule.

@Lalit_Singh Good Suggestion. As a work-around, I sometimes use a utility-shape an, leave the configuration as "pyUtilityStub" and use the description of that.

@BhanuPrakashG5843 Hello , Yes we were using some work around but now in Pega 8.6 we have a separate Automation shape called Run Data Transforms.

@Lalit_Singh So this is a pretty nice feature, does this already accept parameters in the most recent version you're running? If we have to set those in connectors, we're stilll using two 'shapes' to achieve the same.
