Exposing attributes from Spatial Relator
I used a spatial relator for a project to show counties that state parks are in. After the spatial relator complete it gave me attributes _relationships(0).name and so on and the I have a few names for each park since the parks go into multiple counties. But when I write the end files out the _relationship().name attributes are emplty. On the FME data inspector it has values

Hi,
If they have {}s in the name, that's a list - a bit like an array in programming. A lot of formats won't accept them without a bit of extra processing. Try one of the following:
- ListConcatenator - concatenate all the values for each item with a comma
- ListExploder - create a separate feature for each list value
- AttributeRenamer - rename all the list values to specific attribute names
Hope this helps!
