Hi Tamas, Thanks for the feedback. I was unaware of your excellent addition of being able to read styles and apply them to individual features before going through the code, and then reading https://mapserver.org/development/rfc/ms-rfc-61.html As you say it should be relatively straight forward to apply SLD from a string retrieved from a feature attribute defined in STYLEITEM - I'll add a note to the RFC.
