Currently you can only populate a text cube via a reverse algorithm if the algorithm is numeric.  This seems somewhat pointless as we have numeric cubes for these.

 

What would be more useful is being able to apply a reverse algorithm on a text algorithm into a text cube.

 

It doesn't come up often, but the workaround to get past this limitation is often not straight forward, allowing for a reverse algorithm on a text algorithm would provide for a much simpler solution.
