Using the AttributeManager, i understand that i could create a new attribute_alias for each attribute i want to update. However, since there are hundreds of attributes and they all need to be named the same as the existing attribute name - except in TitleCase without underscores > I wonder if there is an easy way to do this?

How to apply attribute alias to all features using the existing attribute name
Best answer by nielsgerrits
I would try:
- Select one row using a sampler.
- Explode attributes into features.
- Use a tester to remove the features where _attr_name starts with fme_
- Create attributes from _attr_name.
- Name: @Value(_attr_name)_alias
- Value: @Value(_attr_name)
- Expose created features using import from feature cache.
- Remove _attr_name,_attr_value
- Merge the features into one feature using the Aggregator.
- Merge this single feature with all the _alias features to the original data using a FeatureMerger where 1=1.
