What is the criteria to determine where an empty line should be added?

the above example is time based so where it moves from AM to PM a break in the data for easy readability is required.

 

 

Thanks

Hi @fme_it, there should be several ways. Just an example.

Set the runtime order at the Passed port appropriately (first to AttibuteCreator, second to Junction).

Hi,

Thanks for the suggestion. It almost works, occasionally it comes out before the line but only once or twice.

I think that the workflow inserts an empty line before every text that starts with "12". Wasn't it what you needed?
