Bug 1250: Importing Code/Definitions

[Perumal Sambasivam]

Hi All,

The import of codes and definitions for enumerated attributes has somewhat 
been completed. I have checked in the code so that you all could have a 
look and comment on it. Most of the wordings might need to be changed. And 
all cases might not have been checked. I am still working on it.

However, you should be able to do the following now -
1. For any enumerated attribute, you could define that to import codes and 
definitions from another table.
2. You can chose the table and appropriate columns if the table is already 
present in your data package.
3. If not, you will have to import it through the TIW. Wizard screens for 
this have been completed.
4. At the end of importing a new table, you can identify which columns 
define the codes and defintions.
5. If the newly imported table, in turn needs to import some other data 
tables, the whole process is repeated.

As of now, this works when you import a new data table or edit an existing 
attribute. I have not yet extended this for the case of inserting an 
attribute.

Expecting feedback/comments on this...

Thanks!
-Perumal
