Before I updated to Form 2024.1.2.0, when I added a writer it would automatically name the Feature/Table and assign the geometry type. Also, if there were multiple readers in the workspace the add writer function would prompt to select individual or all feature/table names associated with the readers. Now the writers have to be individually added, named, and assigned a geometry type. This can be very tedious and time prohibitive in many cases (which goes against all things FME). Is there a default setting that I’m missing?

Possibly you are missing the Feature Type Definition when adding the writer.

 

“Copy From Reader” sounds like what you’re looking for.

The Import From Dataset can be useful too, if you want to match the schema of an existing dataset (that you’re not necessarily reading).


Copy From Reader when selected should be able to solve the issue.


That’s the answer, thank you very much.


Am happy that works for you ​@stearnsweaver
