    Reject metadata

    The metadata on the reject port will always contain the following four fields:

    • list[string] errorMessage is a list of error messages (one message in each list element) for the given rejected row.

    • list[string] errorColumn is a list of technical column names that correspond to error messages from the errorMessages list (i.e., the first error message corresponds to the first error column).

    • list[string] step is a list of step names for each error message. Each element corresponds to the step that raised the error for the rejected row. The format is always "Step <N>: <type>" where N is the index of the step (1, 2, etc.) and "<type>" is the type of the step (e.g., "Calculate formula", "Validate empty value", etc.).

    • long sourceRowNumber is the row number of the rejected row as read from the source. Row numbers do not have to be sorted but will be unique - each row number can only appear once since each rejected record carries all errors for the given row.
