AttributeCopier

From Fmepedia

AttributeCopier is a Workbench Transformer. The AttributeCopier lets you copy an attribute. The existing attribute remains and a new one with a different name but the same value is created.

Q) When you hover over the AttributeCopier transformer you can see the attribute being copied and what it is being copied to, but when you open up the transformer properties, the information isn't there. This is happening in v2005.

A) The issue arises from opening an older workspace (say FME2003 or older) in FME 2005 or 2006. For the meantime you could simply replace the transformer - but for FME 2006GB we'll have a fix to make sure the older versions work just fine.
