Hello,
I have an excel as a reader and i would like to add a writer for shape as output. In this, I am adding some attributes to which I need some values, which can be selected via a dropdown in shapefile. Is there any way of adding dropdown values in FME which will be reflected in shapefile as dropdown attributes?
Thanks in advance.

And then add an Attributecreator pointing to this Published Parameter:

Hi @mukhtar_gf,
By selecting an attribute via a dropdown, are you referring to Attribute Domains in ArcGIS? If so, as far as I'm aware, you can only use these in File and Enterprise Geodatabases. Someone correct me if I'm wrong, but a shapefile doesn't have the ability to handle domain values.

Hi,
There is a nice tutorial on domains here:
