Original Title was: Attribute Validator - Populate _fme_validation_message (string) with a concatenated string of failure messages that appear in the list


When a record fails more than one attribute test I think it would be a good idea if _fme_validation_message (string) contained a concatenated string of all the list element messages that have failed, not just the first one.

Eg.

At present you get this

I think it would be more useful if _fme_validation_message (string) contained “Attribute 'DevelopmentAddress' fails check for Has a Value', Attribute 'ApplicantSurname' fails check for Has a Value

The reason I ask is that I wish to create an error report that details all the issues that have occurred to each record in one line of the report. I also want a string that I can easily search and count to identify records that failed, certain elements.

The list elements are very useful and I certainly want to see these kept, but if the above is implemented it would save a lot of work which now has to go into producing a one line message from the resulting list.

Why not just add a ListConcatenator on the _fme_validation_message_list ?
