Make variable fields in a template available for loading via data exchange
Currently you can define fixed field data in a record template and have that data loaded into records via a load profile when using data exchange. Variable fields, however, are not available in this process. Make variable fields in a template available for inserting into records via the load profile and data exchange process.
Idea Value
Currently when we have a note or message that needs to be inserted into every record in a load we do it through global update after the load. If we could add this note or message to the template being used with the @dflt trigger in the load profile and have it inserted during the load it would save a lot of time. Being able to do this through a template would also mean that other staff can modify and update it when necessary instead of waiting for the global update expert to get it done.
I am aware you can add the message itself to the load profile and insert it that way, but then only our load profile expert can modify it. The staff that would make this decision do not have access to the load profiles.

This would be useful. I do add text into fields from the load profile, but modifying a load profile to change them is cumbersome. It would be much easier to change a template.
