Why would feature attributes be missing when using a reader? On inspection features such as fme_basename or fme_dataset are present in table but with a value 'missing'??

Most likely you have exposed them with the AttributeExposer. If so, try exposing them through the Format Attributes tab in the reader feature type, rather than using the AttributeExposer.

Hi @cbrown

Could you share the print or the Workspace template?

Thanks,

Danilo

Do you have actual attributes in your input data called "fme_basename" and "fme_dataset"?

@takashi

Many thanks! That was the problem :-) They weren't checked to expose in the Feature Type Format Attributes. All good.
