The ability to select which attributes to include in a list is a great improvement in FME 2017, however when dealing with dynamic scenarios you don't know what attributes are available. The alternate option of All Attributes will also include many fme/reader attributes that are generally unwanted. I'm looking at you multi_reader_full_id, multi_reader_id, multi_reader_keyword, multi_reader_type.

It would be nice to have the ability to exclude certain attributes from the list.

    Great idea. I would also suggest that it should be possible to use a regex (or at least a wildcard) in the attribute names to exclude, e.g. "multi_*"

    Yes, although the attributes to include should overwrite any wildcard expansion in the attributes to exclude.
