I have never been able to work out how to expose the attributes of FFS stores in FME. When I open a FFS in data inspector and click on a point i can see the attribute, but when using a reader it is not possible to expose it.
See screen shots
clearly in the FFS in data inspector
But cant see it in the FFS reader at all? any ideas on how to expose these?

These (fme_...) are the default attributes.
To expose the not generic attributes, use an AttributeExposer transformer.
I often copy paste the attribute names from the FME Data Inspector by double clicking the value of the attribute I need in the Feature Information screen, then double clicking on the name selects it.
You also can use Import in the AttributeExposer Parameters screen to import a whole bunch of these unexposed attributes from a specific file.
Have you tried enabling "Store scanned schema" on the FFS writer?

Hi @bkanther You can also expose attributes on the Player transformer - if you're reading the FFS that way.
