Even though I've been using FME for some years for some reason I've only just discovered the Workspace Runner when I was researching the ability to set the paths for readers and writers using attributes.

The current version of Workspace Runner appears to mostly fulfil this in that it identifies the paths for the primary input and output and I can use an attribute to define common base folder paths (which I can then pass to multiple workspaces). The problem I'm having is with workspaces that have not only a primary input and output but also a feature writer embedded within the flow. The Workspace Runner is not identifying the output path for this feature writer as a parameter which means if this changes I need to go in and set it manually which largely negates the reason I was using a Workspace Runner in the first place.

Would it be possible for the Workspace Runner to be developed so that it would also identify the folder paths for feature writers (and most probably feature readers).

Many thanks

This just requires you to set up the parameters correctly in the child workspace. When you use a standard writer, the destination is automatically created as a parameter, this doesn't happen with a feature writer but you can manually create the parameter instead - click the triangle alongside the Dataset field in a featurewriter and choose User Parameter > Create User Parameter
