    Idea / RFE Review. Apologies for the length of time this request has been held in the status of Uncommitted Candidate / Future Consideration. Unfortunately business prioritization has not yet afforded us the opportunity to work on this item, but it remains of long-term importance to us so we will continue to monitor and aspire to address in a future release. Status of the idea is maintained as Future Consideration.

    Thanks for raising this requirement. Understood and it's a known deficiency in our DFDL support. We'll look to implement in a follow-on release.
