Map Storage Type and Window Visual Recipies

I've been working with standard local CSV files as datasets rather than database-connected data sets recently. In doing this I've run into a problem with the window recipe. On simple data types I can "retreive" a column. However, for the “map” data type the button to retrieve the column that is of type map is grayed out.
anyone know why this is? Is there a work around?![Image: Window recipe grayed out [retrieve] button for just the variable to type Java map.](https://us.v-cdn.net/6038231/uploads/lithium_attachments/7302i4672F49FEB6293AE.jpg)

Hi @tgb417
,I was able to reproduce this issue on my end using DSS 11.0.1. It appears to be a limitation of visual-recipe aggregations. They only support basic types (string, int, double, boolean, date).You can work around the issue by manually setting the type of the affected column to "string" in a Prepare recipe before the Window recipe:
I also logged this as a feature request on your behalf for further review and consideration by our product team.Thanks,Zach
