FpML Issues Tracker

Summary

The MTF is streamlining the implementation of Booleans in 5.0 and is asking each WG to go through the attached list of booleans in an attempt to consolidate: Optional Booleans of type xsd:Boolean Optional Booleans of type Empty

The meaning of optional Boolean fields is not always being clear and consistent; Some were made optional in 4.4 for backward compatibility. Some were made empty elements as a synonym for Boolean.

The MTF is making the modeling change recommendation to eliminate optional empty elements as a synonym for Boolean and replace them with Booleans in FpML 5.0. (see http://www.fpml.org/issues/view.php?id=538)

Please go through the list of Booleans and specify whether they can be made mandatory in 5.0 (see Suggested Mandatory, green, F column in Excel).

P.S.: A filter was applied on the WG column to only show Boolean entries specific to you Working Group. The worksheet ALL contains all Booleans in FpML 4.x, FYI.
