Hi,

is there a way to restrict the "attribute name" parameter to specific attribute names. I use it for chosing the attributes of an Excel file that has lots of attributes so the drop down list gets very busy. I tried to use the choice parameter as an alternative but it seems you can only use it for attribute values not names. Thank you for your help.

Hi @kasparlov, I think the Choice parameter could also be used to specify an attribute name, depending on where the parameter is referenced.

Where/How the parameter is referenced in the workspace?

Hi @kasparlov, you could add a published parameter of type attribute list (comma delimited) and use this parameter in an AttributeKeeper

Hi @takashi, I would use the parameter in a Tester: Parameter: Attribute has a value.

I think a Choice type parameter and the != operator could work as your expected.
