Documentation Idea, export Hover table output to clipboard

Hi ​@martynp,

Have you tried using the AI Assist to get this data? I gave it a quick shot and it’s able to output a table with the configuration of the transformer. I understand it’s not a perfect solution but might help?

We are aware of the need to better document workspaces and are looking into helping users generate workspaces documentation. There is a lot of improvements we can bring on that front.

Opening the Idea in any case to see if others would value this specific improvement :)

Cheers

Thanks for that, what is the wording you used to get an output? I am trying to get as close to the HOVER table as possible. 

Thanks for the quick reply and workaround, a copy to clipboard feature would be very helpful to us that need to “over document workspaces” (read government) LOL

thanks martynp

I see… Hopefully you can still use the AI Assist then!

I used an AttributeCreator from a workflow I had handy and gave that prompt. You can probably refine it to target just the table in the transformer:

Can you output the configuration of this AttributeCreator in a table format that I can copy/paste

I just had one row in the table with an attribute named test_attribute set to 1. It outputted this table (I just copy / pasted it straight from Workbench into this reply):

Yes, that worked thanks as a workaround, but on complex workspace’s it would be nice to have an copy to clipboard or documentation button export. As one of FME’s critical selling points over other software is the self-documentation aspect.

Thanks again martynp
