Typical Uses

  • Change the name of an existing attribute

How does it work?

Blank rows are provided where you can select attributes to rename and enter the new names. One or more pairs can be added, and all features that pass through the transformer are modified according to these selections. The values of the attributes are not changed, and you can optionally provide default values to be applied to the output where input values are missing.

Examples

Usage Notes

  • Consider using the AttributeManager instead.
  • To rename groups of attributes using prefixes, suffixes, and patterns, consider using the BulkAttributeRenamer
  • The AttributeRenamer can be used for simple renaming of list attributes.
