Is it possible to merge all feature types with all attributes using FeatureReader? <General> port is not an option, 'cause it gives geometry only without attribute information.

The generic port does provide the attributes but you need to expose them, luckily you can use the import function in the attributeexposer and get all the attributes.

The <Generic> output port will give you both the geometry and the attributes, but you'll have to expose the attributes manually. You can verify this by sending the <Generic> port to the Inspector and click on an object and see the attributes on the right.

Yeah, I know that. But in order to expose attributes I need to know what they are. Any other reader automatically exposes all atributes without manually instructing what attributes to expose. This is kind of behaviour I want from FeatureReader.

You can vote up this idea: https://knowledge.safe.com/content/idea/24774/add-import-function-to-featurereaders-attribute-to.html

Or add a new one.
