Description

Currently, the preprocessor script does not have access to the channelId variable. Some pre-processing 'error-checking' might need that channelId var. I think this would make the preprocessor more valuable. I've detailed this in a thread in support:

(The pre-processor also does not have access to code templates, which might also be nice to implement, I'm just not sure if there is a good reason why this would NOT be an intelligent change)

Might need to add an additional context to separate the channel context from the response map so that channel reference items can be used in global preprocessor and postprocessor.

Added a Channel Functions template category and changed the channel id and name templates to be in the channel context. Also changed the global scripts reference list to show anything in the channel context, since the postprocessor has channel items and the response map in its scope and the preprocessor has channel items in its scope. Note that this will cause these items to display for all global scripts, even though they will not work in all scripts.

This same issue occurred with the response map in the channel postprocessor in MIRTH-1206.
