Hi,
is it possible to change the filename in a dynamic writer? I'm trying to add a suffix to the original file name but as soon as I do any changes to the value stored in fme_feature_type the workbench fails. Is it even possible to change the filename in a schema?
You should not change schema definition name i.e. the source feature type name. Just set fme_feature_type to the Schema Definition Name explicitly, and modify the destination feature type name (Shapefile Name).
Hi @kasparlov,
When you write to a shape file, the filename is the same as the fme_feature_type by default but you can offcourse use another attribute or hardcode another name:

Thank you @takashi, this is exactly what I was trying to achieve.
