Request to implement Auto Map functionality on Output in Hierarchical Stage

I'm using the Hierarchical Data stage to pull data via a REST API and then feed that through a JSON_Parser stage and finally map it to the output columns on the Output tab. I know in the DataStage thick client there was an option to use the Auto Map feature that would map from the previous step (in this case JSON_Parser) to the output columns on the Link, as described here:

    Does it means that you don't need to provide the schema with Auto Parsing?

    Hi Ralph,


    I've accepted this idea and we will work to implement this in our new interface for the Hierarchical stage ontop of Cloud Pak for Data, which is currently in development right now. We're expecting this functionality to come later this year.
