If the data contains a field name which is not defined in the schema.xml, then DIH ignores it. This is a very common use-case where you may want to process intermediate data and add it to a completely new field. For example, if you have first-name and last-name coming in from DB and you want to combine them into a new field "name" with TemplateTransformer. -- Regards, Shalin Shekhar Mangar.
