With TextStroker [version 1], there was a parameter "Text String Attribute". This contained the string attribute which was to be stroked. Worked fine.
However, in TextStroker V2 this parameter is gone. I now don't appear to have any way to tell the TextStroker what it is meant to be working on.
I tried putting a GeometryCoercer (to FME_Text) in front of it, but of course that doesn't let you pick an attribute either.
So how do you use TextStroker V2? What am I missing?
Cheers,

A text feature has a hidden attribute which stores the text string, called "fme_text_string". Is it the thing you need?

Hmmm. That seems to be a user-interface regression - they've hidden something that was exposed in an earlier version.
But then - how do I turn something intoa fme_text_string? Or do I just use the AttributeCreator/Setter?
Thanks,

you can just use an AttributeCreator (or equivalent) to set a suitable value for "fme_text_string" manually.

Thanks for the assist!
I do agree that "fme_text_string" should be mentioned in the TextStroker documentation, at the very least.
