Hi @mariofederis,

First use an Attribute Splitter to generate a list of the values in ROUTE_NUM, then use the ListExploder to explode each list member into its own feature with the accumulation mode set to 'Merge List Attributes' and Conflict Resolution to 'Use List Attribute Values'.

Here is an example workspace: listtofeatures.fmw

Thanks Holly! It worked. Thought I had to do a looper of some sort.
