However, the Load to Gainsight Object action type is designed with a new field mapping experience where admins have to first add the fields for which they want to map.This is to provide an optimal experience, performance-wise, when there are a large number of fields coming from the event.This action type only supports Insert operation on Low Volume Custom Objects.
