Hi Mithun,
Great article. I did all this steps, but I would like to use CSV template. And unfortunatelly, fields only turn up in xml template, but not in csv. How can I add fields into a csv template?

Hi Mithun,
thanks for the helpful blog.
But is it also possible to extend a migration template with a custom extension node in standard BO?
Thanks & regards,
Fabian
Hi Fabian,
Currently it is not possible to extend custom extension node to migration template, since process extension scenario doesn't support that.
Thanks, Pradeep.
