Currently the VariableSetter/Retriever can be used to set/retrieve just one global variable. It would be more convenient if multiple variables could be set/retrieved at once.

I was wandering if its possible to send lists as a variable as a way of sending sets of data across a workbench, but I haven't been able to get that working. My main gripe with variables in FME is that the retriever doesn't always work but it isnt clear as to why?

Agreed, VariableRetreiver should be able to address multiple variables and have a contextual drop-down list of available Variables, just as Attributes do in all transformers.
