When working with a datasets that have a large number of attributes, it would be great to have some enhanced selecting/filtering in the Reader/Writer Attributes tab.  For example, starts with, ends with, contains, other tests - like contains x but does not start with y.  Regex support would be good, but something like a Tester merged into the R/W could also work.  Thanks.

Thanks for the idea ​@bush_walker !

To better understand the challenge you’re facing, I had a couple of quick questions:

  • What are you trying to achieve when you’re filtering or selecting attributes in the Reader/Writer Attributes tab?

  • What kind of workarounds or steps are you taking today to solve this?

Appreciate you sharing more context — it’ll help us better understand the problem behind the idea!
