Hi,

 

 

I cant find a way to expose format attributes on multiple inputfeatures.

 

 

I got a load of inputfeatures for wich i wish to expose ie 'fme_feature_type'

 

There is no provision for this???

 

1 by 1 is like..a lot of tedious clicking.

 

 

It would be nice if there would be. (i am still on 2012 version btw)

If you expose the attribute(s) using the Feature Type Properties window, there's an "Apply to..." button at the bottom, this allows you to apply the settings to multiple feature types in one go.

 

 

You'll have to select the format attributes you want to expose again, which is a bit of a hassle, but at least it saves you a lot of tedious clicking.

 

 

Alternatively, you can use an AttributeExposer transformer, route everything through that and then afterwards sort it out again using a FeatureTypeFilter.

 

 

Hope this helps.
