I am using "Import Feature Type" to add an additional shapefile feature type to my canvas for my Shapefile Reader. When I go to click the Run button nothing comes out of that new reader, the feature types that were added before this still work. Why doesn't my new shapefile data come through?

This can occur when the Shape reader is set to read data from a certain dataset, then using import, we point to a completely different dataset. Features are not read as the Shape reader still points to the original dataset.

Note: if the original Shape dataset was the directory containing both files, then it would work as intended. The same expected result could be achieved using wildcards in the Shape reader dataset such as `*.shp` in the directory.
