Connector – Conditional Page Visibility and DVE

Hi Dojo,

There is a connector which currently has conditional page visibility on some of it's pages.
When creating and exporting DVE's for this connector, we notice that these conditional pages also show up on the created virtual elements.
These conditional pages show up as blank pages with no data below the expected pages defined for the DVE.

The parameter used to determine if the page should be visible is not exported and the visibility is set to false by default.

E.G.

<Page>
<Name>ASI Inputs</Name>
<Visibility default="false" overridePID="936" value="1"/>
</Page

Would there be a way to configure the connector in such a way that the DVE's are not taking these pages into account but only the ones defined within the Export Rules?

Thanks in advance!

You can override the Conditional pages within the Export Rules by updating the 'Pages'-tag, example:
<ExportRule table="10000" tag="Protocol/Display/Pages" value=""/>

Thanks Gilles!

For anyone interested, it also seems possible this way to override the conditional pages individually with the attribute or whereTag/whereValue options.
Example 1: <ExportRule table="10000" tag="Protocol/Display/Pages/Page/Visibility" attribute="value" value="0"/>
Example 2: <ExportRule table="10000" tag="Protocol/Display/Pages/Page/Visibility" attribute="overridePID" value="1" whereTag="Protocol/Display/Pages/Page/Name" whereValue="ASI Inputs" />
