A minor bug I’ve possibly just discovered, though something in my memory is thinking I’ve heard about it before. 

If the FeatureMerger transformer is not connected to any data connections and you move the requestor port down below supplier then drag it to a connection, the connection goes to the uppermost port - in this case the ‘Supplier’ port.  I would say the default most people would want is that it looks for the ‘Requestor’ port, regardless of whether it is the uppermost port or not.  

So this is a bit of a bug report and idea at the same time.  Screen recording gif is attached to show current behaviour in FME(R) 2025.1.1.0 (20250730 - Build 25615 - WIN64)

 

I think you could argue the opposite too - perhaps what might be nicer still it is we have each port be connectable with drag drop rather than the transformer.

Good point, perhaps not a bug after all.  I would tend to think folks go to connect requestors first but I could be wrong!
