Let's say I have data with an attribute "A" which is an integer. I want to process all incoming features with the same attribute the same way (example: check for overlapping geometries within that group of features). But I do not know beforehand what that number will be. How do I do that in FME? Looking for something like AttributeFilter, but with unknown attributes.
I suspect the "group-by" option can do this for some tools, but I'm not sure how to apply it for this problem.

Hi @riverag ,
you are on the right track. You can use the Group-By function. I have create an example for you:
Here you have some polygons an you don't know the values. The number is the Group-By parameter, the string under is the "text". Important, maybe you must rename the column of one file. Both files must have the same column name to Group-By to the parameter.
