Bynder Rules

Value Mapping

Translate source codes to destination codes

Use this rule when Bynder and Akeneo use different values for the same concept and you need to bridge the gap — for example, mapping country names to locale codes.

Bynder rules value mapping

This rule requires five configuration fields:

  • Source – the metaproperty to read values from
  • Source separator – the delimiter used to split multiple values in the source
  • Target separator – the delimiter used to join multiple mapped values in the output
  • Mappings – the list of source → destination value pairs
  • Destination – the metaproperty that will receive the translated value(s)

Example

Source valueMapped output
Francefr_FR
Belgiumfr_BE,nl_BE

When both values are present in the source, their mapped outputs are each looked up individually, then joined using the Target separator.

Given the mappings above and a Target separator of ,, an asset tagged with both France and Belgium would produce:

fr_FR,fr_BE,nl_BE
