I'm populating a DW via the ImportString function, but it errors because some of the column are dddw's and they have the AutoCompleteMode set to SuggestAppend and "Validate value against dropdown choices" turned on. When the importString happens it errors because the value importing is not in the dropdown yet. I tried turning off the "Validate value against dropdown choices" property via a Modify statement and then Import and then turn it back on, it seems to work, but when the dw displays the dddw are missing for those coliumns. See document for screenshots. Is this the proper way to import when "Validate Values" is turned on or is there another method that would accomplish this?
