Hi,
I would like to know how to create a lookup for translating or replacing a field result into results from a csv file.

Transform

[category-lookup]

filename = category.csv

props

[business-category]

LOOKUP-lookup_category = category-lookup category OUTPUT category-test

Thanks,

Which field? category-test? (You should probably use _ instead of - there, if you're not seeing a field it might be because of that issue)

The field result still come back as numeric, instead of whast listed in the csv file.

Well that looks OK syntax-wise. What's the problem?
