I just returned to work from the Peak Of Data and AI in Seattle and am trying new things. In existing workspaces, I have added two creators to my workspace where I am adding a DateTimeStamp >DateTimeConverter - then writing to a new tab (Information) in my excel worksheet
the Second creator I am utilizing a FilePathExtractor and writing to the same new tab in excel. Essentially I am creating metadata to make my job easier to rerun projects year after year.
The question I have is : is there an easier way to extract the File Path of where I have the .fmw saved without needing to navigate to it within the FilePathExtractor? My ultimate goal is to create a custom transformer that I can share with co-workers that can help them add the date created and the fmw’s file path to their excel writers.
