Field mappings in rule associations

When you create rule associations, you can map the input and output fields of the data enhancement rule to the business entity fields.
After a user updates one of the mapped input fields in a record and submits the record, the objective that the rule association is part of is triggered. The rule association runs, and the data that the data provider returns is applied to the mapped output fields. Based on the trigger settings in the objective, the objective is triggered when you ingress or import records, submit records in business applications, or create or update records through REST APIs.

Mapping field groups for data enrichment

When you map field groups in a rule association for data enrichment, consider the following restrictions:

Assigning static values to input and output fields

You can assign static values to input and output fields instead of mapping them to other fields.
In some cases, you might want to assign a static value to an input field instead of retrieving the value from a field in a record. Also, you might want to assign a static value as the output instead of retrieving from the data provider output fields. For example, if you want to translate the English product description in a product record to French, you can assign English as the input value for the Language data provider field. You can also assign French as the output value for the Language business entity field.
Don't assign static values to all input fields. To run a rule association when a record is created or updated, ensure that you map at least one business entity field as an input field.
When you assign a static value to a field, ensure that the value is compatible with the data type of the field. When you assign a static value to a date and time field, use an epoch value. When you assign a static value to a date field, enter the value in the YYYY-MM-DD format.
Note: You can't assign a static value to a numeric or calendar field.
When you assign a static value, consider the following restrictions:
