I've added 7 individual Feature Types to my Workspace and want to expose fme_basename and mapinfo_type for each of them. Is there a quick way of doing this that will save me from having to edit the properties of each Feature Type one by one?

Found it - you can do it when adding the Reader...

Reader > Add Reader

Select the datasets to read (in this case several MapInfo TAB files)

Click Parameters

Expand Schema Attributes and select fme_basename and mapinfo_type as additional attributes to expose.

Sure, look at the "Apply to" button at the bottom of the dialog.

Fantastic - thanks. I was about to ask how to do it when you've already added the Feature Types.
