Suggested by @troelspe at the FME UC 2017:

It can be a bit awkward to select a reader and dataset when importing attribute filter values, especially when that reader is probably already in the workspace.

It would be nice if we could populate the dialog with a list of existing readers in the workspace, so that users could just select the reader of their choice and import its unique attribute values (in one or two clicks).

Alternatively, nowadays with feature caching enabled, it should be possible without selecting any reader at all. As a user you should only have to select Attribute to Filter by, and then the software should examine the cached incoming port features and populate the Possible Attribute Values list.
