[TYPO3-templavoila] how to use "One huge redundant DS - Many different TOs"?

[Joerg Wagner]

Many thanks Ron, this exactly solves my problem!
I was aware of the possibility to "clear all" and remap, but with 20+ to 
  40 elements to map this is a pain in the ass. So your solution is VERY 
welcome!
Thanks again.

Cheers,
Jörg.
