In Oracle Application Express (APEX) 18, the Data Load Wizard is a feature that allows users to load data from various sources, such as CSV or XLS files, into APEX applications. The Data Load Wizard generates pages that guide users through the process of mapping and transforming data from the source file into the APEX application.

If you realize that you forgot to add a transformation rule when testing the Data Load Wizard pages, you can add the transformation rule by following these steps:

  1. Log in to your APEX workspace and navigate to the page containing the Data Load Wizard.

  2. Click on the "Edit Data Load Definition" button to open the Data Load Definition editor.

  3. In the editor, locate the section for "Transformation Rules" and click on the "Add Rule" button.

  4. Define the transformation rule by specifying the source column, the target column, and the transformation expression. You can also specify additional options, such as data type and format masks.

  5. Save the transformation rule and click on the "Save Data Load Definition" button to update the Data Load Wizard pages.

It is not necessary to update the existing generated pages, delete the Data Load Definition and re-create it manually, or use the Create Page Wizard to re-create the pages. Instead, you can simply update the Data Load Definition with the new transformation rule and save the changes. This will ensure that the Data Load Wizard pages incorporate the new transformation rule when users load data into the APEX application.
