Nice one. Trust a developer to come up with that solution. But as an
inveterate workbench hacker I can put your idea into a single transformer!
The ExpressionEvaluator has the ability to use the @Count() function
within the expression, so you could do it all from there w/o even
using the Counter transformer! The expression would be:
((@Count())*2)+1
Alternatively (a little more hacky) an AttributeCreator will do the
same with the value set to:
@Evaluate("((@Count())*2)+1")
Ah - the power of FME functions in a workspace!
