Mapping Values

Option	Description
Source Placeholder	This is the source value to use. Usually this would be a field placeholder (Placeholders) or a static value.
Target Field	This is the destination metadata items name to save the value as. This would usually be a static value. In order to save data into specific locations within grid fields the following syntax can be used: `[grid_field_id.column_id]` eg: `[my_grid.is_fun]` Use the above to save a collection of metadata into a column. Eg using the Pivot placeholder as a source. In order to save data into a specific cell within the grid the following syntax can be used: `[grid_field_id.column_id.row_number]` eg: `[my_grid.is_fun.1]`
