So I've been playing around a bit with this new transformer (check out this great post by @Mark2AtSafe https://blog.safe.com/2018/01/data-join-with-fme-evangelist171). When using the FeatureMerger, one trick I use a lot is to simply type the same string or a single character for the supplier and requestor in order to force a join, irrespective of whether the two have any common data. I learned this trick at last year's FME World Tour in Houston if I recall. However this doesn't seem possible with the new FeatureJoiner as it won't accept a text input. You have to instead create a new left and right attribute and supply some common value, then remove the attribute after joining (which is what I used to do before learning that quick trick!).

Is the new FeatureJoiner going to get the ability to input text instead of being forced to pick an attribute? Thanks.
