Hi

Iam working on a script that should run on FME server.

 

The user adds an excel file that contains coordinates (x column and y column) the problem is that the column names can change, therefore I need to let the user specify from a drop down list the (x - column) and the (y - column).

 

Is this possible?

Hi @ber​ ,

Stay tuned, at the moment it's possible using either a custom JavaScript front end (similar to this example) or if you allow users to type in the name of the attributes (less effective because of typos, etc.).
