Database Lookup and missing Fields

$
0
0
I am using the Database Lookup step to get the value of a lookup item. However, not all rows in the data stream will have a value to be looked up. I have setup the Database Lookup to use a default value. In the subsequent step, I'm using the Select Values step to map the new field created in the previous step to another field that is needed later in the pipeline.

However, this is failing at times because it appears that the Database Lookup step is not adding the new field. The Select Values step fails because it cannot find the missing field.

How do I handle this? I cannot find anything to show me how to update a field when its missing, just to handle setting the values. Is there a better way to handle what I'm trying to do?
