Improvement/Extension of existing feature with benefit for the user
When importing data that includes a link to existing records, I may need multiple columns to accurately match the right record to be linked in the import, e.g. using both firstname and lastname fields (if these are stored separately).
Objective
We currently are able to import "entity" dataType fields by looking up one column from the import and selecting an existing entity matching that value. Extend this to use a combination of multiple fields that all (?) need to match, for more accurately linking.
Implementation Steps:
EntityDatatype.importMapFunction
