Optional input port for some transformers is a good feature introduced in FME 2025.2 :-)

I think it would be better if the input port of these transformers could also be optional.

  • DateTimeStamper
  • ParameterFetcer
  • HTMLExtractor
  • HTMLToXHTMLConverter

Are there any others?

Why not inspect features with Visual/Data Preview and Feature/Record Information before writing them into a destination dataset?
