I'm reading OSM PBF and having a problem to retrieve the value for the key ele (elevation) for feature type natural_peak. When adding the reader, FME detects and expose the following 2 attributes from peak : name and ele (as defined in config file). There might be other attributes available in the feature information window that I can later expose.

However, attribute "ele" is always empty, even though the information is avaiable on the node (verified on OSM directly). I have tested with different datasets (the French Alps, Caribbean) and FME never retrieve the elevation value. Looking in the feature information window, the attribute "ele" is never present which make me think that FME do not retrive this value at all using the OSM PBF reader.

Any ideas ??

@rhansen I've reproduced the issue you have encountered where FME is not recovering the ele attribute. We'll try and get that fixed.

Example natural_peak ele = 76 here: https://www.openstreetmap.org/node/6733297209#map=16/49.3075/-123.1480
