Hi all!
I need the adjacent feature within a loop but I get the error that Attribute Manager is a blocking transformer and therefore it won't work.
I use blocking transformers in linked custom transformers all the time and it works fine.
Is there a particular reason that you can't use the Attribute Manager within a loop?
Thanks!
I don't think the AttributeManager is a blocking transformer per se, but it might be treated as such if you use the adjacent feature option. Could you elaborate on what you're trying to do?
Hi @redgeographics
Thanks for replying.
I think you're right but I don't understand why I wouldn't be able to use the same approach as when I use other blocking transformers.
I have several z-values that I need to subtract from each other in pairs. So I wanted to subtract the second value from the first value, the third value from the second value etc.
However I found out I didn't have to include the AttributeManager in the loop.

A possible workaround might be to use the VariableSetter / VariableRetriever transformers.
