Is there a way, similar to AttributeExposer, I can import the columns from a CSV file and use that to identify what columns to keep? I’m reading a number of CSV files into a workspace with different attributes for 3 different file types and there are over 300+ columns. A picklist approach is a bit cumbersome.

Nevermind - I see the import feature in the AttributeManager.

I’d like to re-open this if there’s anyone that can assist. I hoped using the import would setup the AttributeManage to only have the inputs and outputs that are relative to the specific file I referenced in the “From Dataset”. However, all other attributes that are passed from my CSV reader that has multiple files with varying file structures still appear in the AttributeManager. I thought the import of a dataset would save me the time and only show the fields/attributes that are relevant. Does that make sense?
