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.

You can add a Published Parameter from the navigator window with the dropdown options:

And then add an Attributecreator pointing to this Published Parameter:

 

Thanks, @sigtill , but I need this dropdown to be used in Shapefile in ArcGIS. Which by the above-mentioned process is not able to give.

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.

AS @sipsysigh says, geodatabase functionality.

Hope this helps
