CAT Reader in WorkspaceRunner can't receive any "attribute value" as input

I have an FME workspace "A" using a CAT reader that works well.

I have another workspace calling it with a WorkspaceRunner, which goes through a bunch of files using a "Directory and File pathnames" reader.

In the workspaceRunner Parameters of workspace "A" and can't select "attribute value" from the "Directory and File pathnames" reader :/

I changed my workspace "A" for a plain text reader and now I can select "attribute value -> path_filename".

There seems to be a bug with the CAT reader inside a WorkspaceRunner :/

Am I doing something wrong?

Can you take a screenshot of how the CAT Reader parameter is set up inside your child workspace, like this

Hi @jb.gariepy,

I think @egomm is correct, notice that your CAT reader user parameter type is set to Filename (Exisiting) and not Filename (Multiple)

What happens if you change the type to Filename (Multiple)?

Here you are:

The attribute assignment set to off is what is preventing you using an attribute to assign the filename in the workspace runner

Got it! That was my problem!!! Thanks a lot!!

As mentionned by @egomm, Attribute Assignment has to be set to "Default" :)

Thanks for your help!!
