It would be neat if FME Workbench had scaffolding functionality.

For example, when setting up User Parameters with choices and Conditional visiblity, it can be rather complex to build a corresponding logic in the canvas (i.e setting up various transformers to port different choices in different directions, triggering different actions).

What if there were a button inside User Parameters-dialog, saying “Scaffold this for me”, and then FME exit the User Parameters-dialog and attach  all transformers that is needed (for the logic setup in the User Parameters-dialog to work) on the mouse cursor so that the user can place the solution on a good spot on the canvas.

Potentionally a “Scaffold this for me”-button could be usable in other scenarious too.

Hi ​@svantepanter, We’re not currently exploring scaffold-style auto-generation, as our focus is on other core improvements to the authoring experience. That said, this aligns with ongoing discussions about simplifying complex configurations, especially in relation to AI. Closing this for now, but really appreciate you taking time to share this idea!
