[Discussion] Allow Writer to take labels form Transformation also

Hellos,

I see a lot of values in allowing the user to select labels from Transformation as well , instead of Reader only .
1. with field selector , I can let go of multiple values , and then use transformation to get a set I Like , then use copy labels form transformation 
2. it's a static operation anyway , so changing / adding/ subtracting fields from transformation will not hamper it . 
3. really smart people , start with end in mind , others like me , go with the flow , do the transformation , and matching writer to label is always a pain in the arse 
 

That sound like a reasonable idea we will add it to the list of things to do

Thank you

 

can you extend my request to take input from another Writer in transformation as well?

With ability to split files easily , I now generally create two output , one with ALL data and one with split files , if I have done all the hardwork setting up one writer, I had like to simply copy the settings from the same. 

Not sure if you aware but you can just copy writer object

Anyway your suggestion was implemented in internal release (For all objects)
