I have a list containing several list as this example :

A{}.B{}

A{}.C{}

A{}.D{}

So I use a ListExploder for the A list. Then I have to use 3 ListExploder for each remaining list B, C and D.

Is there another way to do it minimizing the amount of ListeExploder in my project?

Thanks.

Hi @slerendu, if each feature has all the components ('A{}.B{}' AND 'A{}.C{}' AND 'A{}.D{}'), I don't think you can avoid using three ListExploders (unless you write a Python script). If each feature has only a single component ('A{}.B{}' OR 'A{}.C{}' OR 'A{}.D{}'), you can rename the component (B, C, D) to an identical name using ListRenamers.

Why not inspect features with Visual/Data Preview and Feature/Record Information before writing them into a destination dataset?

Hi Takashi, thanks for your answer. Ok, I'll do it.

For the use of ListRenamers, I saw your answer on the other post ;-)
