Unable to expose attribute in FFS file

I have an FFS file (created from a v7 DGN). This file has an attribute named "multi_writer_id" that contains the FFS file name. I can see this attribute in the data inspector but am unable to expose it with the AttributeExposer. I want to fan out the writer according to this attribute but because it cannot find the attribute, the result is a file named "NULL".

Any insight into what's happening?

I've never worked with multi-writer_id, just multi-reader, but there should be an fme_dataset attribute that contains the full file name, You can use a FileNamePartExtractor if you need just the root filename.
