How can you refresh the user attributes in a workspace?

I have a FME workspace that is reading from a MapInfo table, and writing to SQL Server spatial table

The SQL table has had a new field added to it.

I want the new field to appear in the list of user attributes, but I can't see any "refresh" options. I can't believe it's a case of deleting the existing SQL writer and adding a new one

You want Writers (or Readers) > Update Feature Type from the menubar - though re-importing the table and deleting the existing one will work just as well.

You can either set 'Table Definition' to 'Automatic' when adding your writer...

...or set this behaviour under 'User Attributes' tab in the Feature Type Properties (double click writer).

  • Doesn't show the new field from the SQL table. I did get it to work by setting the table definition to "Import from Dataset" and then selecting the target table – SteveC Jul 4 '16 at 15:49
