[ https://issues.jboss.org/browse/TEIID-2909?page=com.atlassian.jira.plugin... ] Barry LaFond commented on TEIID-2909: ------------------------------------- We're not asking for a conversational API. We are asking for a more complex translator property definition that can some how be used in Teiid Designer without having to add custom business logic. I'm assuming that you've got these additional property dependencies/conditions coded in the translator's validation or translator usage logic. If the condition is "passive" (where "required" properties are not conditional on other non-required properties) then we wouldn't need to provide that validation. But in this case, users would see *property_1* as required and not know that it's not required because *property_2* was set to *false*. Without that validation on our side, users will set *property_1*, then deploy/execute/test their VDB and it just wouldn't work and maybe they'd get a server log warning/error that *property_2* is not *true* -- This message is automatically generated by JIRA.
