HTMLExtractor - FME2017 vs FME2018

I use the HTML Extractor in a number of workbenches: it is a very useful transformer. There was a minor glitch in FME 2017 when this was introduced, as it did not handle lists in the customary way: when a list attribute was selected as the required output, I had to use "list{}" as the list attribute name instead of "list". (This did not seem worth raising at the time)

 

 

This appears to have been fixed now in FME 2018 but requires modification to transformers created in FME 2017 to reverse the above workaround, otherwise the attribute title is taken as "}" once the list has been exploded or otherwise accessed.

 

 

Are there any further details on this issue, or can I assume it has been resolved between 2017 and 2018?

Hi @ispaton,

It looks like the fix was confirmed in 2017.1 Build 17447 so it should be working as expected for 2018. Please let us know if you experience this behavior again in 2018.
