+5Hi,
The "Choice with Alias" user parameter is great because we are able to import coordinate systems, readers and writers.
Why not the ability to import "Character Encoding" items too ?
It would be great ie for a shapefile writer. We could import easily a selection of character encoding in a user parameter.
Mathieu.
+14@mathieu_ambrosy - Great idea! I think I may have found a "workaround"... emphasis on the quotation marks.
Step1: Create new User Parameter > Choice with Alias > Configuration > Import from Dataset.
'
Step2: Select CSV Reader, select the encodings.db (located in the FME installation folder).
Step3: Select Parameters and set "Delimiter Character" to | and set "Data Start Line" to 11. (Note: This value may be different for different FME versions...)
Step4: Select Continue and set "Import from" to Attribute Values.
Step5: Select Continue and set "Display Alias" to col2 and "Value" to col0. Select Import.
'
Step6. Voila! Now vote for this Idea because that was too much overhead.

Hopefully this is what you meant. If not, I had a fun journey with FME!
Please note that this is completely untested if this can actually be passed into Readers and Writers.
