Feature request: Export all incoming fields if empty

[aaronpowers]

Great plugin! Thank you for making this available to everyone! I've been testing it and find it very promising (it can potentially save many steps if we're manually updating TDEs).

Have you considered allowing more flexibility in the "Fields" tab, e.g. implementing a nice feature that works the same way as Pentaho's "Table Output"? Specifically, when we leave "Fields" blank in "Table Output", it exports all fields, so the user doesn't have to click "Get fields" each time the columns are updated. This would make the block much more flexible -- as it is, every time I add a field (common for my current workflow), I have to open the transformation, open the block, click "get fields", and potentially, manually clear the database cache in Pentaho to make sure it gets updated. This would eliminate that step and make this block basically work with a lot less manual labor.

If you know of any alternatives, I'd be interested in hearing them. Again, thanks for the great tool, I'm looking forward to using it more!

Note -- when I run with a blank set of fields, this is the error I see. I'm currently using the new Pentaho 7.0.

Hi Chris,

will this Plug-in work for hyper extract?. If not is there any plans to upgrade the plugin to support .hyper extract
