FeatureWriter don't update attribute definition in automatic mode

Hello,

 

I think I've found a little bug.

Here my version : FME(R) 2019.1.2.0 (20190829 - Build 19630 - WIN64)

 

I'm using a FeatureWriter to write features in a PostgreSQL DB.

Here my parameters :

 

In the Attribute tabs, I set the definition to Automatic so the structure is created from datas comming into the FeatureWriter :

 

Now the bug :

As I said, I've plugged datas into the FeatureWriter and set the Attribute Definition on Automatic and "voila", my structures are automatically defined.

Now, I add an attribute on a feature type that goes into the FeatureWriter (with an AttributeCreator for exemple).

The FeatureWriter doesn't add automatically this new Attribute in the definition of the table that is written in the DB.

I have to edit the FeatureWriter parameters so the Attribute definition is automatically updated to get the new attribute (in fact I've just had to click on the button to open the dialog box and then click on "OK" to close it) .

The attribute definition is only semi-automatic...

I'm having the same issue. Have to set from "automatic" to "manual" for the attributes to stick.
