The default behavior of the ListExploder in 2015+ is different from 2014 and earlier. Many users expect that the transformer behaves with "Use Incoming List" mode (it's equivalent to the default in 2014), but the current default is "Use Original" in fact. In the Community Answers, I have seen several questions caused by the conflict, and I myself often forget to check this setting too.
The default itself is not an issue. It's the issue that the "Attribute Accumulation" parameters group is not expanded by default.
Hope that the parameters group will be expanded (shown) by default.

Agreed. I also think the default is wrong but the bigger issue is that we should always show the Attribute Accumulation part. Good suggestion.

@daleatsafe, thanks for your consideration. This may be a small issue, but I believe that small issues are also important to improve entire usability.

Agree completely. The change went into the build on Friday, so betas next week will have it. Really appreciate your feedback.

I confirmed this in beta 16133. I think this is better than 2015 :-)
