  • Hi there, I am looking for a transformer or a solution that allows me to check if any attribute of a feature has a specific value (e.g. string "remove"). Only then I want to remove the attribute. Renaming would work as well. Thanks for your help.

@friedhelm​ This is probably easiest solved in a small Python script. I've attached an example workspace (FME 2021). The Python will remove any attribute with the value "AWS" and also create a list of the removed attributes.
