I have a file A from which I am reading the creation date through a “Directory and File Pathnames Reader”.

Now I want to add the date as data in a column of file B.

It should look like this:

ID	path_created_date
1	2025-04-04
2	2025-04-04

I tried using AttributeManager, but what I get is this:

ID	path_created_date
<missing>	2025-04-04
1	<missing>
2	<missing>

I am very thankful for any other ideas or solutions.

You can merge the date onto the features from column B using a constant in a featuremerger

The date from your FileA goes into the supplier, the data from Fileb goes into the requestor
