Strange Behavior in Conditional Value with "Attribute has a value" Operator

When I was thinking of a solution for this question, encountered a strange behavior on conditional value setting.

Calculate percentage of how many features in a group have a certain value

My intention is to create a new attribute "_flag" and assign 1 if the attribute "Type" has a value, 0 otherwise. I believe that this conditional value setting in the AttributeCreator should work as expected.

Workspace: (FME 2018.1.0.2)

However, the result was:

I cannot find any specific reason, but I suspect that the "feature table" technology has a defect related to this symptom. Could you please investigate this?

Why not inspect features with Visual/Data Preview and Feature/Record Information before writing them into a destination dataset?

@takashi - it does look like this is related to feature tables. If you convert the source data to excel then your tests work fine. I have logged a change request to get this fixed.

I also confirm this bad behaviour with MapInfo extended Tab - so it does indeed seem to be related to feature tables rather than CSV format only. Jira Issue: FMEENGINE-57152
