RELATED IDEAS

Ability for Data Tables and Lists to be referred to in parameterization within Scripts

When working with Datatables you're often locked in to many nested commands.

A strong value add would be if we could refer to elements in parameterization. IE


Dog

Woof

Cat

Meow

Horse

Neigh


${vDataTable.cell(1,2)} would equal Cat.


This would save commands and allows for dynamic parameterization so you could have this

${vDataTable.cell(2,vIndex)}


that might return Woof, Meow, Neigh depending on vIndex's value.
