   Option	Description
   validateIncoming	Validates your input. Checks if the input is the correct type and compatible with the enum set of constants in that incoming schema.
   revertToDefaultValue	Enables use of a default keyword. Default values from the incoming schemas will be used whenever a key/incoming data value is not provided. If an outgoing schema has a default value, an incoming schema is assigned to it. If the incoming schema does not have a default defined, then the default for the outgoing schema will be used. If an outgoing schema has a default value defined, and nothing is assigned to it, then the default values will be in the transformation output.
