Merge related transformations
The following transformation groupings could be merged into single transformations with additional filters/cleared:
- Membership List, Membership List Composite Key, Membership List Composite Key with String Priority, Membership List Date Relational
- Date Relational (Standard, Next Placement, Recent, Relevant, String Priority), Relational (standard/string priority), Composite Relational, Composite Relational with String Priority, Time relational and prioritized, time relational.
Where additional filters that could be merged are seen as:
- The implementations of IncludeItem for relational transformations,
and where standard keyed transformations could be represented as composite key transformations with a single key.
This would substantially cut down on the number of transformations users are expected to understand or wade through before getting to a useful transformation.
Additionally, update the descriptions of transformations on the documentation / factories.

I like the idea of making simplifications in this area. Just keep in mind that backwards compatibility is essential and should be unit tested where possible.
Might pay to look at
IDB-749at the same time.As UIs need to be migrated, this issue is being run through to reduce number of UIs that need to be migrated.
As discussed, the column mappings format will have to change in case there field names that include the strings that are split on. A new line is a good candidate because it's not possible to configure a key with it. Not sure what else you could use for the other split string though.
IDB-554is the issue that I was thinking about.Remaining on UIs

Closed.
IDB-839will look at PowerShell transformation.
