+     * @Note: When using 'falls through to default' cases in a switch statement,
+     * it is crucial to place them after cases with break statements.
+     * Additionally, include a check for column.uidt inside these 'falls through to default' cases
+     * to conditionally execute logic based on the value of column.uidt.
+     *
+     * This check becomes essential when there are multiple 'falls through to default' cases.
+     * By adding the column.uidt check, we ensure that each case has its own specific conditions.
+     * This prevents unintended execution of logic from subsequent cases due to fall-through,
+     * providing a more controlled and predictable behavior in the switch statement.
