I am running a workflow using various transformers on data (eg. BulkAttributeRenamer, AttributeCreator etc) is there a smart way to retain the feature data types through to the writer?

 

 

When connecting the writer, I copy attibutes from the previous transformer and it lists all columns as "text" "200". I do not want to have to manually change the type in User Attributes.

 

 

Cheers!

Hi

 

You can try and copy from a feature type insetad of a transformer. this will preserve the data types, but if the output attributes do not exist you'll have to manually add them.
