Hi,

Since I've updated my FME Desktop to the 2020 version the values when my field name is suffixed with a * aren't been read into FME. I know FME changes the * to _ when it is loaded in Desktop, but this wasn't an issue before.

For example, below is a screenshot of my Excel file.

And this is how FME deals with it.

You can see the values in Your Name* doesn't get read.

As I say this wasn't an issue in previous versions. Is there something new I should be aware of?Regards

Paul

@pirwin I've reproduced the issue you've reported. In FME 2019 and earlier, FME would switch the Name* to Name_ but still read the attribute value. In FME 2020, the Name* is switch to Name_ but the attribute value is now <missing>.

We;ll get this addressed as soon as possible. Workspace (FME 2020): excelreaderror.fmwt
