GitHub user alexmller closed a discussion: Would it be reasonable to split up *Get Filenames* into separate input and transform steps?
I would like to share my thoughts for your opinions on this. It seems easy to misunderstand the behavior of *Get Filenames* (#4843): - if "Is filename defined in a field?" is checked, it processes data from the stream and transforms it - if not, it acts as an input, discarding incoming fields and generating its own rows The same is for *Execute SQL script* and it's "Execute for each row" toggle. Fixing it by updating the docs feels right to me (#5734). For *Get Filenames* however, the user dialog could be simplified and source code readability improved by separating both concerns into separate Steps. Of course introducing a breaking change. Is there a preferred approach when it comes to breaking changes (avoid them at any cost or deal with them in a certain way)?
