Yes - in the custom transformer look in the navigation pane (under workspace settings - not the gallery tab). Find the entry for transformers and expand it to find your AttributeFilter.
Now - expand it and right-click on the 'attribute to filter by' setting and choose 'publish'. Now that setting can be defined correctly by returning to the main canvas and clicking the [...] button on the custom transformer. This way it doesn't matter where or how many times the transformer is used, you can set the attribute to filter by differently each time.
