Lookup Cache Transformation

07. April 2026

Elaine Foley

Table of Contents

Caches Specific definitions

The LookupCacheTransformation uses the input from the transformations above to check against a named cache created based on a list of tags (a dictionary). Similar to TakeDictionaryValueTransformation, with the difference that this lookup also works for data not directly assigned to the content. 

Caches

You must create the cache upfront so it is available in the Business Rules. The values match function uses an exact match; for example, "FotowareAlto" is not "Fotoware Alto". Case sensitivity can be ignored, but spaces and other characters are considered when matching values. 

  • List Item Named Cache: Cache from all items in a List (also known as a list of tags), limited to a specific Key Field, for example, refId, or limited to multiple fields (list of fields). 
  • Schema Tagbox Filter Lookup Named Cache: Cache from Layers
  • Inverse List Item Named Cache: Cache from List Items in a List based on one value Field, for example, get values from IPTC Subject "Pilot" "Aircraft" "Plane" and lookup those values to get the refIds back.

Specific definitions

Property Value
kind LookupCacheTransformation

"transformations": [
    {

    "namedCache": "OrganisationCache",

    }
],
