So we have an issue where the ID is being used also as the Object ID. This of course is a big problem because any database or GIS software will overwrite the ID. So to get around this I want to create an attribute in FME and then fill that with the Object ID values to preserve that number. I can create new attributes with the attribute creator but I can't find any examples or forum topics on how to call out an attribute value to fill it with. I've only seen constants or using this empty column later.

Filling newly created attribute with existing attribute?
Ooo! Exactly what I needed! Just one question though, is it creating a NEW colum for me or do I still need to use the Creator first then this?

The AttributeCopier will create the new column for you.

Sounds like a job for the AttributeCopier
Is there any difference between this and just using an AttributeCreator?
