Sometimes it is needed to fill variables from a datasource.
For this task right now you always need a Groovy Job.
which has 2 disadvantages:
- it is not supported by a graphical user interface
- it is somehow disconnected from your dataflow in terms of debugging/preview in subsequent steps
So a kind of SetVariables transform would be great.

This is already possible by using TableLoop transform or Loop job. See KB for details.
