How to set Dynamic FeatureWriter parameters to ensure output to ESRI Enterprise will honour the native data type when short name attribute is supplied

When outputting ESRI Enterprise records on FLOW 2026.2.1 via FeatureWriter with Dynamic settings and supplying ‘native_data_type’ attribute{} payload and ‘fme_format_short_name’ attribute (supplied from a FeatureReader schema port that connects the original data table) the workbench run generates masses of warnings around data-type mismatches whereby the fme_data_type is being attempted and not aligning with the target data-type:

FLOW messages on data-type mismatch

Following details from Dynamic Workflows: Destination Schema is Derived from a Schema Feature – FME Support Center on initial testing results in the above messages. I have attempted to remove the fme_data_type and force recognition of the native, without success. What is missing for the engine to honour the ‘native_data_type’ directive?

Attribute output payload

The fme_format_short_name is “SAFE.ESRI-AGOL.ARCGISFEATURESERVICE”

The ‘native_data_type’ payload for each attribute is correct from the source table - it is the self-same table being updated at the end of the process:

featurereader/schema + data → attribute{}.native_data_type + fme_format_short_name → FeatureWriter “schema from schema feature”

Any help greatly appreciated.
