JSON stands for "Java Script Object Notation", its a special notation that allows you to pair the key and value together, thus avoiding the issues with flat tables.

Since the selector is a page context and…
A quick reminder of the Bulk Copy functionality. Bulk Copy allows you copy large volumes of data from one slice of a model to another in a single, optimised operation, instead of using formulas or imports. Use case: copy a version (RF1) into a prior year version (PY RF1) using a versions list to allow for year-on-year…
