Incorporate reprojectors into FeatureReader

The idea is to incorporate reprojectors into the FeatureReader. Often I use FeatureReaders to read from a WFS, ESRI REST service etc. The data is never hosted in the coordinate system I need so if I use an Initiator spatial filter I need Reprojectors before and after the FeatureReader.

I propose for the FeatureReader to have an 'Initiator coordinate system from/to' parameter and an 'Output Coordinate system from/to' parameter that would save the need for two transformers in the workspace.

We’re happy to share that FME 2024.2 includes updates to the FeatureReader that partially address your suggestion. The initiator is now reprojected automatically when the coordinate system parameter in the FeatureReader is set. As for the output coordinate system suggestion, while this functionality isn’t currently on our roadmap, we recommend continuing to use the Reprojector transformers for that part of your workflow.
