Greetings,

What is the best way to duplicate a writer? Using copy/paste only duplicates the annotation. Thank you.

There is no quick way to duplicate a writer (or a reader). You can copy/paste the feature types but they'll get pasted in the original writer. So your only option is to manually add one.

I like to right click on the writer and choose Duplicate. Or click on the Writer and then CTRL+D
