[IDV #YKZ-778690]: creating plugin for a derived formula

Bonjour HansPeter.

I agree completely with your comments about the documentation. I am hoping that 
we will have some new hires to work on the IDV shortly (we are somewhat 
understaffed), and one of there first tasks will be to review the documentation 
and the workshop material.

If I understand correctly, you resolved this issue via method 2.

Do you have outstanding or additional concerns?

Cordialement.
