@Andy E I couldn't see this behaviour in FME 2022.1. There might be something about the Maximum Lat/Long parameter configuration that is preventing the selection of the attributes. Can you attach a copy of your parent and child workspaces? If you prefer you can send them directly to me at mark at safe dot com.

@Mark Stoakes You're right, I'm not able to recreate the issue with a new workspace using the same parameter configuration, it seems to be specific to the workspace attached. It was created with an earlier version of FME2022, and has also been edited on both Windows and Mac.
