FeatureReader - merging feature types

Howdy,

 

 

Since the FeatureReader was introduced I've been getting good use out of it, but it exposes the feature types as separate outputs. In my workflows I prefer to keep a single processing path and would appreciate the option to have a "Single Merged Feature Type".. If this is currently possible I can't figure out how it's done. If it isn't could I suggest it as a product enhancement please?

 

 

Cheers,

 

Richo.

why not use a "GeometryFilter" after the feature reader?

For a cleaner workbench layout, I'd put the FeatureReader in a custom transformer with only one output. That's not really a solution, but may do until your suggested product enhancement makes it.
