I have a counter transformer in a workspace and it is giving me a weird count value. The value that comes out is :

 

@Value(__fme_ft_return_value73e8b8c0-7916-4466-bd7c-e869a55224a1)

 

 

I have never seen anything but a number come out so I am baffled.

Did you try using the local count instead of the global?

 

I had this happen 1 time a long time ago but I don't remember the exact scenario I was doing. Changing to local fixed my issue.

Hi, we had the same issue with FME 2019.1 

We solved it by placing a FeatureHolder directly in front of the Counter.

I updated FME and this problem has gone away, thank you for your response.
