Hi there,
I am new to FME, and would appreciate any help or resource that teaches how to use “fme form data inspector” to debug error in the workspace?
Thanks in advance

In broad terms, you can use the Data Inspector (or Visual Preview in Workbench itself) to check whether your data looks like you expect it to look after running it through a workspace.
Things I generally look out for:
- Is the data in the correct geographic location
- Is the amount of data along the lines of what I would expect (for example, if I work with data for a municipality with a population of 15.000 and I have 100.000 building polygons, I know that’s probably not correct, so worth looking in to).
- Are the attributes filled with the values I expect
If there’s an error in the workspace I of course try and see what may have caused that error, keeping in mind that the transformer where the error is noticed may not be the one where it’s caused.

Hi
I suggest that you use transformers in FME Workbench to perform your QA/QC validation.
You can check for possible bugs in Data Inspector after running your workflow in Workbench, and enable the Stop at Breakpoints option: Crtl + Shift + F5.

I've been around for a large part of FME's development 😅 Still remember the FME Viewer and even pre-Workbench days...
