We need this to be able to post the attribute to an API which requires one of the other File Structure types than the default

Hi, does anyone know if there is a way to extract geometry from a feature as GeoJSON in an attribute (in general i'm using GeometryExtractor) but having access to the options that the writer gives? Specifically the file Structure options contained th

Thanks, I think this is a slight omission from the GeometryExtractor but this solution works great, especially with AttributeFileReader in the mix
