ChangeDetector match all attributes should exclude multi_reader attributes

It would be nice if the ChangeDetector match all attributes could exclude unexposed workspace level attributes like multi_reader_id, multi_reader_full_id, multi_reader_keyword, multi_reader_type.

As it is, I need to either use match selected attributes and select them all (not possible in dynamic scenarios) or expose the multi_ attributes prior to the ChangeDetector so that match all except can be used.

I thought i had a similar suggestion for the matcher which also considered unexposed attributes if match all was selected (can't find the idea now) I

I don't like the idea of ignoring all unexposed attributes (for dynamic scenarios), but an additional parameter to "Consider unexposed format attributes: Yes|No" would be very interesting. Replace format with whatever word covers the multi_*, fme_*, csv_skipped_line, etc attributes.

 

 

That way if you don't know/care about format/reader specific attributes, you don't need to deal with them, but if fme_feature_type was important, you can expose it on the reader.

It is really necessary to exclude the Reader-Attributes!

I don't know any example where the Change-detector will be used with the same reader/table Name.

Using the same table from the same Reader will never Show any changes!
