Hi all,
I'm facing a problem while adding an Excel Reader to my workspace:
Adding Excel Reader - I'm selecting only one attribute to be exposed:
When the Reader is brought into the workspace all attributes are exposed:
Is this a bug or am I doing something wrong?
I'm using FME(R) 2019.1.2.0 (20190829 - Build 19630 - WIN64) but I've noticed this on older versions as well.
Cheers,
Eduard

@edhere This is definitely something we should clean-up. We've added the issue to our problem database.
As suggested by @danullen for now edit the schema in the feature types, not the reader parameters.
I get the same result as you in 2019.2. But it still works fine to edit the reader afterwards and change the list of exposed attributes. Then it sticks and gives the expected result.

That's true. But still it is annoying having to expose your attributes twice as the first time when importing the Excel Reader it doesn't work.

Yep, agreed. (The obvious workaround is of course to not do it the first time. :-D )
