I’m currently working on a major new version of the datatool package. This may take a while. Please be patient. (Experimental version available for testing.)

Description
Hello !Thanks for your datatool and datatooltk piece of software !
A very humble feature addition would be to have the equivalent DTLisinlist of the DTLifinlist. We could then use DTLisinlist in the DTLforeach statement to select rows according to a list.
Although there is a workaround, using DTLifinlist inside a DTLforeach loop, it is not very satisfactory nor readable.
To plead for this feature, since it is somme kind of a primitive, I guess it should not be too much connected with other features, therefore not compromising the rest of the construction.
I will try to make it with the example of DTLifinlist ... but I have not your skill :(
Nice day !
MWE
No mwe.tex
Evaluation
I've added \DTLisinlist to version 2.23. (The commands that work within \ifthenelse seem to require the use of \TE@throw so I've implemented it slightly differently to your suggestion.)

I found a bypass, quite obvious but still usefull, to transform any DTLif... in DTLis... usable in DTLforeach for instance.
Here it is:
\newcommand{\DTLisinlist}[2]{\DTLifinlist{#1}{#2}{true}{false}}Hope it helps.
