Update the VariableSetter/VariableRetriever to pass multiple values in one transformer.

Like the AttributeCreator the VariableSetter could have one line per variable.

Like the ParameterFetcher the VariableRetriever could retrieve one variable per line. Bonus would be if the existing variables in the workspace were available as a drop down list.

Even better If you could use the variables as data source in the AttributeCreator or the new AttributeManager (same as with parameters).

Agreed, VariableRetreiver should be able to address multiple variables and have a contextual drop-down list of available Variables, just as Attributes do in all transformers.

Not sure what the progress is on that but it's really needed in my case.

Some APIs of mine use Pagination, therefore storing these values in a variable for re-use until no more API records can be returned is a must. The User Parameter just won't work as it's not dynamic.

 

Having multiple variables in one transformer helps setup the required API Parameters in one go instead of adding multiple variable setters / retrievers. On top of that you can even test these when Feature caching is on.
