Merge table to create side by side output without having to rename fields

I have a table of data. I want to merge it to itself so that the data is side by side. I tried FeatureJoiner but it lists the data stacked not side by side. I suspect this is because the field names are the same. I added a AttributeManager to one of the table inputs and converted the field names to "original field name"+2 and I get the results I am looking for.. Is it possible to perform a side by side merge on the same table without having to rename all the fields in one table? Is there a transformer that will rename automatically?

It sounds like the Aggregator might be your best bet. You would use Group Processing with what your key attribute is. This transformer has the option to create a list of all the input attributes.

I tried Aggregator but I can't get it to generate a side by side list of the original values. I only see a single value for each parameter once the fields are grouped. The process using AttributeManager and FeatureJoiner describe above is working and providing the expected results. I will stick with that for now. Thank you.
