How i have atleast 20+ AttributeManager in my FME workbench and this take a lot of my time in editing each of them every time.....
When i delete / rename any of my headers......is there better way
when i rename / delete Input Attribute it reflects the changes till the end ?
Depending on what you want to do with your attributes the BulkAttributeRenamer might be helpful. With it you can remove or add prefixes form attributes.

thanks @virtualcitymatt , i haven't used that transformer, still wld give a go and see if i am able to achieve what i am after. But if you got any quick example for me , may i request you to share the FME workbench.

Nops that doesn't work rename/ remover either , i would like to totally remove this records from the rest of the workflow (i.e.) Writer.
I wanted get rid of Column 'FME_NNB_Level' in downstream , am using Attribute remover and when i go and check the attributes that column still remains 😞

Ahh yep, there is also an AttributeKeeper (which removes all except what you want) and a BulkAttributeRemover For removing attributes which match an expression
This is one of the reasons I tend to avoid using AttributeManagers apart from as a final step to prepare attributes prior to writing.

any recommendation to use Alternate transformer ?

It depends on the action.
AttributeRemover, AttributeRenamer, AttributeCreator etc.
This also has the advantage that it makes the workspace more searchable.
If those attributes are already referenced in a downstream AttributeManager, you'll still have to edit the AttributeManagers, they won't get automatically removed/renamed etc.
Just a tip adding to @ebygomm If you are planning to use AttributeRemover >>>>>> try using Attributekeeper instead atleast you will not have to typein the attributes you wish to continue with as in AttributeKeeper you shall have the Checkbox option instead . / tnx
I have 30 same attributemangers need to change one attribute name in all of them, I used notepad++ to open the fmw file, found its format like a xml, just used the text replace to replace all the attribute name to what I want.
Done!
