Quick a simple question but one that has stumped me.
I am trying to remove all of the data that has been pulled into FME from a shpfile on AGOL.
The aim is to later replace this removed data with new data in same shpfile before reuploading this to AGOL.
So I was wondering whether there was a tool that was able to be used just to remove the data while leaving the columns itself.
You can use the NullAttributeMapper with regex expression .+ in the 'Or if attribute value contains regex' parameter. Then set the Map to Null.

Hey!
Thank you for the repsonse. great tool.
Saying that it only seems to be completing this for some of the columns, does this tool only apply to certain types of data?

Did you choose all the attributes you want to be null in the 'Selected Attributes' parameter?

Yes I have selected "all attributes" within the tool

That is odd. What happens if you change that back Selected Attributes, and then manually select the attributes?

Sadly it does the same thing. I guess it could be due to something in the shpfile thats uneditable
The input format shouldn't matter once it's read. As a work-around, you could use an AttributeManager instead but you will need to manually set the value to <null>. Although that could be tedious depending on the number of attributes you have.
