Usage

To use the Pick bank from list masking activity, it must be placed inside a table masking activity or a similar activity that iterates over data. Once placed, you can choose the property you want to mask, and then select the type of data you want to replace it with. Furthermore, you can specify what subset of picklist data will be used to get the replacement values from.

Example

Let's assume we want to mask bank names in the Banks table. We can do this by first placing the Bank masking activity, and then placing the Pick bank from list masking activity inside it. Then, we choose the BankName column, and for the type of data to replace it with, we choose BankName. We leave the picklist declaration as it is.
