As the title of this idea says, I would love to be able to rename incoming attributes within the readers themselves. I understand that the attribute renamer can be used directly after reading features for this same purpose, but it'd be great if we had the option to do it at the reader level as well.


The why for this need:

I work with several layers that are often imported into the same tools all at once. Most of these layers have attributes with the same names (County, St_Name, etc.), hence why it's important for me to be able to tell which layer each attribute comes from at a glance. Attribute renamers, removers, etc. do the trick, but it would be nice if I could remove the extra transformers and do it at the reader level.
