While this works well in many cases there are some 'problems': * When moving a configuration from one server to another, it is not possible to include formulas, extra value definitions, etc. This must be added manually by the person that is installing the plug-ins. * The lookup order is hardcoded. Depending on what already exists on the server, formulas/extra values may hide other properties and create unexpected results. For example, if a formula with the name 'Name' already exists, this formula would be used instead of the static property 'Name'. The advanced field converter should provide: * A possibility to directly in the configuration specify if a formula, a static property, extra value, etc. is wanted. * Define formulas as part of the configuration The goal is that a plug-in configuration that uses the advanced field converter should not need any additional manual work when transferred to another server.
