GDM Node has mandatory map even when configured programatically.

I have a message flow that includes a Graphical Data Mapper node which is controlled at runtime using ESQL. In oder to add the GDM to the flow I must create a dummy map which will never be used.

    Idea / RFE Review. Apologies for the length of time this suggestion has been in status Uncommitted Candidate / Future Consideration. To mitigate the problem, you could create a single "dummy empty map" and reference the same one in all circumstances, followed by dynamic overrides. We acknowledge this is less than ideal, but unfortunately with a solitary vote for this suggestion over this significant seven year period, we are unable to apply business prioritization to this feature idea.

    Although this could potentially confuse some newer users with simple use cases, we acknowledge that having the option to direct the node not to validate the existence of the map in some cases would simplify your flow creation process. Status of the RFE is updated to Uncommitted Candidate.
