Create a List exposer transformer

I know you can expose list attributes by right clicking on them on the results on transformer before you need them however they can easily disappear and you have no visibility that they were exposed at one point. Also it takes me ages to remember where it is. What I would like is a transformer that look similar to attribute renamer but gives the option to expose the list elements. Maybe call it ListAttributeRenamer where you select the list (in the yellow area) and it exposes all of the elements as attributes. Bonus point if it could expose all of the list elements and defaults to give them a name plus a sequence like 1,2,3 or A, B,C. This would mean you don’t have to guess at the number of list values, it would only push out an attribute if the list has one and if there is a new one it is visible in the transformer instead of buried with you guessing if it exists or not. You could then update the ones you want to a name you want. This would make it so much more intuitive and useful.

Something like the ListBreaker from FME Hub?

This transformer breaks up a list and converts it to a set of numbered attributes.
