How to I link a checkbox writer parameter to a user parameter?

Hi, I'm trying to optionally switch off the Spatial checkbox in a Writer by linking to a User Parameter. There is no drop list to enable me to control the Spatial box. I've tried unsetting the Spatial Column and setting Create Spatial Index to No (both of which I can link to Parameters), but then my non-spatial data doesn't get written out.

Any clues?

Hi @chris_bb,

It looks like you can do this from the Navigator > GeoPackage Writer > Feature Types > Feature Type Name ($(TargetLayer) in your case) > Parameters > Format > right click on Spatial and choose create user parameter.

Many thanks.
