***Note from Migration:***

Original Title was: TestFilter Option Which Allows you to Choose to let all Data Test Against all Filters Instead of doing it Stepwise


Add an option to the TestFilter, where you can choose to let all data test against all filters instead of doing it step-wise. E.g. If I have a dataset of 10 objects and 3 queries in a TestFilter, I want all 10 objects to test against each of the 3 queries. Normally a few objects would fall out in the first test, a few more in the second, etc. For now I can solve this with a Loop transformer, but it would be nice to have an option in the TestFilter to test all data against all queries.

Ah, OK. I see it now. Data gets duplicated when it passes. If it was a new transformer you could almost call it the TestCloner! Makes me wonder if you could use conditional processing in a Cloner or similar transformer. Maybe not, but I feel there must be a good workaround if I could only think of it!

Am I missing something, or isn't this what composite tests do in the Tester?

@dalelutz3 How about TestReplicator, DataTester, Inquirer or TestAccumulator?

@markireland2 The idea is that you have a set of data, that can run through a set of tests, just like a TestFilter, only in this case all data passes all Filters in stead of funneling the data. You should see it as a series of Testers in a single transformer.

@larsdevries1 This is a very interesting idea -- really it becomes a "TestCloner" or something along those lines. No longer a Filter because we'll make a copy of the feature for each port it passes the test for.This would not be hard to do. Definitely will track this idea. Open to naming ideas as well.

Yes please. I usually create custom transformers with several testers in it for this purpose.

Any idea whether this is going to be implemented (any time soon)?

I just read it is implemented in 2022.1​
