I am looking to adapt an existing workspace containing a feature reader that reads in an ESRI geodatabase with certain existing feature types to read and corresponding output ports for those feature types. The feature reader's source dataset path is set to a folder containing multiple geodatabases, with the particular geodatabase in that folder to be read being set dynamically depending on the fme_basename for another gdb that is read into the workspace beforehand. I'm looking to change the folder that the feature reader looks in, but keep the feature types to read and also the output ports the same - however when I try to do this and even if I specify the output ports the feature reader loses all output ports save for schema, generic and initiator. How do I avoid this?

by using the generic port, this will stay that way also if you change the input.

This has a downside and that is that you will need to expose any attributes use later in the translation.

Hope this helps.

Looks like a potentially helpful workaround so thanks for that, but it would be good if I could keep the specific and separate output ports.
