feature type name changed, broke the FeatureReader

Using the FeatureReader to load data. The source is coming from an email. I have set up FeatureReader to generate a output port with the attributes from a previous data source that has the same file name and attributes. But in subsequent load, the name of the file changed so FeatureReader didn't run. If I use generic port, I would have to expose the attributes but I have 16 workbenches I would have to edit (each FeatureReader is for a different data type).

So is there a way to modify the original data source to be named the same during the running of the workspace to match what is in the workspace? or should I just suck it up and expose the attributes? or is there something else I can try?

Unfortunately not, if you want to be able to access those attributes in FME you'll need to expose them on the FeatureReader.
