Original Title was: Restore: Enable to link Point Cloud XYZ Reader Component Mapping to a User Parameter


In FME 2019 and earlier, we were able to create user parameters to allow users to specify component mapping for a Point Cloud XYZ reader appropriately according to their data schema. For example:

Definition of the COMPONENT_MAPPING parameter (Python scripted):

import fme

xcol = fme.macroValues['X_COL']

ycol = fme.macroValues['Y_COL']

zcol = fme.macroValues['Z_COL']

return 'x,col%s,Real64,y,col%s,Real64,z,col%s,Real64' % (xcol,ycol,zcol)


However, I found this disabled in FME 2020.0 and 2020.1 beta, so some existing workspaces cannot be updated with FME 2020.

I cannot understand why you did that. Strongly hope this will be restores.
