The valueType bool allows the user to turn on/off a checkbox value.
whatIfTemplateId (since 2022.01)
The valueType whatIfTemplateId allows the user to specify that input series to this whatif run need to come from another whatif run.
This is deviation of default Delft-FEWS behaviour where a workflow always uses simulated series of the Current run. By referencing a whatif to be used as input, the timeseries of this (approved) whatif run will be selected, neglecting the Current run.
dateTime
The valueType dateTime is not implemented yet.
...
Note: By selecting a modifier-instance a copy of this selected modifier is created which is tightly related to the whatif-instance. Value changes in the original modifier (resulting in a new modifier-instance) will therefore not be reflected in the whatif. To incorporate changed modifier values, the modifier-instance should be reselected in the display to obtain a copy of this new modifier-instance.
whatIfTemplateId
Accommodates nesting of whatIfTemplate sections to bring some structure in the display appearance.

- WhatIfTemplate identifiers are stored as part of the whatif-instance, also when archived. Changing whatIfTemplate-identifiers may thus break retrieval of archived whatifs (i.e. no similar as other archive exchanges)
- The relation between modifiers and whatifs is stored at the modifier side. Exported whatifs are unaware of associated modifiers, although the exported zip-file will include both the whatif.xml and the modifiers.xml if needed.
- As of 2022.01, a TypicalProfile modifier is introduced to enable full replacement of the legacy whatif-functionality WhatIfTemplates accommodate the same functionality as the legacy scenario-functionalities except for specifying typical profiles. To specify typical profiles one can prepare a configured typical profile (or import a timeseries) which can be adjusted in a timeseries modifier. Alternatively one may use a data selection method to switch between different timeseries either as a whole by using a merge-simple transformation with properties or individually by location by using merge-selectLocation transformation with (modifiable) location attributes.
- Attached configuration example demonstrates various alternatives to prepare and utilize properties and modifiers in whatifs.
