I am trying to create xml files for metadata with the filename of a gdb forming part of the xml output filename. The fanout expressions are:
@Value(gdb_name)_gdb_metadata.xml
@Value(gdb_name)_lidar_metadata.xml
@Value(gdb_name)_imagery_metadata.xml
However, this creates two xml files per output, one empty but with the correct filename, and one without the @Value(gdb_name) but with the correct content. I have tried to feed in the @Value(gdb_name) earlier on in the process but this does not work.

Right now you are in fact writing 2 features to each output: one with the correct date set and one with the rest of the attributes. Since they have different values for the fanout attribute you end up with 2 output files per writer.
You'll need to join the output of the Date extraction bookmark to the output streams. An unconditional FeatureMerger will do the trick.
