What does Create Type From Data do? What do the options Specify Type Name and Rename Mappings mean?

[color=rgb(34, 34, 34)]Create Type From Data allows us to create Datatypes using THE defined Data.[/color]

[color=rgb(34, 34, 34)]Please refer attached videos.[/color]

[color=rgb(34, 34, 34)]In Video1, I have defined two fields - FName and LName. When I use Create Type From Data with default settings, the Data Name and the Datatype is created using the same defined Data Name FullName.

[color=rgb(34, 34, 34)]Specify Type Name allows us to specify different names for Data Name and DataType. In Video2, I have defined two fields - FName and LName. When I use Create Type From Data with Data Name as FullName and Type Name as FullNameOfPerson, the Data Name and the Datatype are created with different names.[/color]

[color=rgb(34, 34, 34)]Rename Mappings renames fields which are mapped in the Flow. In Video3, I have defined two inputs FName and LName; and two outputs FirstName and LastName. The outputs get Data from their respective inputs. When I use Create Type From Data with Rename Mappings set to True, the changes in Data Name are reflected at Output Data. In this case, FirstName which was getting Data from FName gets renamed to FullPerson.FName after creating type FullName. [/color]
