I am noticing in FME Desktop 2019.1 that the Connection Break Attributes parameter in the LineBuilder transformer is no longer available. I do still see it in the 2019.0 documentation. Does anyone know why it was removed or if it is still available?
Question
Where did the Connection Break Attributes parameter go for the LineBuilder transformer in 2019.1?

I think the Group By is now the parameter to use. For the why...hopefully some Safer will chime in about that :)

Hi @potterman81,
@itay is right, the 'Group By' parameter has replaced the 'Connection Break Attribute' one.
It looks like it was determined that the Line Break Attribute had the same functionality as a 'Group By' and 'Input Is Ordered By Group' set to Yes. In 2019.1, there's an additional grouping mode 'Process When Group Changes (Advanced)' to indicate that input is ordered already. (Here's the current LineBuilder doc if anyone wants to take a closer look into it).
The PathBuilder and the MeshMerger are other transformers that have undergone the same change from connection breaks to group by's. Hope that explains things!
