I created a custom reader and writer with the wizzards in the reader and writer gallaries. I can install and use the reader, but I can not install and use the writer. Attached the reader, writer and an example file.
Question
How do I create, install and use a custom writer?

Hi @mehoefsloot, the files you attached have the extension .fds, which indicates the file is a custom format, and it can only be a custom reader. Unfortunately you cannot create a writer as custom format.
See the help on Workbench to learn more about custom formats: Custom Formats
That explains why I couldn't get it working, but then I don't understand why I can create a custom format in the writer gallery. For sure time for a new idea @KenAtSafe
