    There's no better way to parse table mapping. As you mentioned values can be parsed using dataView.table.columns and roles field.

    Such implementaiton will allow to match column index and value index.

     

    The group field allows to group values by particular column.

Thanks for your response - nice to know further investigation would be futile.

 

I'll mark your response as solution.
