How to directly edit the parameters of the attribute manager (again)

Hi,

since my last update of the workbench (2022.2.0.0 (20221103 - Build 22765 - WIN64)) the parameter editor of the attribute manager wont allow me anymore to edit directly in the pane next to my main window. I have to open a unneccessary pop-up window to continue editing. Other transformers (like the feature joiner) do not show this behavior (see screenshot). Any ideas how to enable direct editing again?

All the best,

Merlin

Try View -> Windows -> Parameter Editor (though it should either work for all transformers, or none, not for "just a few")

Hi Merlin,

I can confirm your findings. I have tested the AttributeManager in FME Workbench in the version you mentioned (2022.2.0.0 (20221103 - Build 22765 - WIN64)) and no, it is not possible to edit the parameters of this transformer in the Parameter Editor window... Weird.

Maybe this has something to do with a 'fix' mentioned in the Change Log:

------------------------------
FME 2022.2.0.0 b22743 20220928
------------------------------
[Fix] AttributeManager: Opening, editing, and closing the transformer with the Parameter Editor window open causes the workspace to freeze

 It looks like the option to edit the parameters of this transformer in the Parameter Window has (temporarily?) been disabled to avoid the whole thing to freeze. Safe Software?

 

HTH,

I would have thought this would be supported on both of those versions! Sorry for the inconvenience. I have brought this to the attention of the developers and will report back. Thanks for your patients.
