Complex Expression in Transformation Rule - How to exit rule?
So we have a UD2 mapping set up in the List section.
What I want is to be able to set up a Complex Expression in the UD2 Composite section so that for certain accounts it does nothing and so moves ...

OneStream EmployeeHi, whatever is not covered through your Rule Expression in the Composite mapping is then mapped by List, Range or Mask mappings. So as long as your composite filter does not include the account members you wish to map via List or Map, this should work.
The composite filter captures quite a wide range of accounts. I can't see any way to refine this filter without some kind of 'Not like' function.
I can do way more robust filtering in the Complex Expression, but by that point I can't find a way to go back out and try the next mapping type (i.e., List)

The Complex Expression will run through all members that are within the filter of your Composite mapping. This means that even if you get a function that says within your complex expression "when account = xyz, then move to list", it does not give you much of a benefit over just mapping this member in the complex expression as well since it is already being checked.
Here is a post on IdeaStream asking to add something along the lines you are asking here for if I understand you correctly. Consider leaving a kudo to support this request if you agree:
