Would it be nice to use the custom geometry xml tab in the Creator transformer to accept any xml or json so that it can store (little pieces of) information in the workspace itself? Of course one could use a Creator followed by an AttributeCreator to accomplish this, but that goes at the cost of an extra transformer. And using the PythonCreator as in the workspace attached is using Python, which some people consider ugly in FME Workspace context.


Idea: additional parameters, improving the user experience.

Sample: See workspace attached

Use-case: Store some data (e.g., configuration data) in workspace

Purpose: not having to bother with separate files for storing small pieces of config data
