Hi Roland,
I'll try and decipher what you're saying ;-)

How are you doing this renaming in the custom transformer? It sounds
like you aren't using AttributeRenamer. Are you using TCL or Python. I
know that for TCL any attributes you create in the script won't
automatically appear in the workspace because there's no way that
Workbench can parse the TCL to find out what attributes are created. 

The attributes will be there (which is why you see them in the Viewer)
but just don't get automatically exposed in Workbench. If this is the
case then I think the AttributeExposer is your only hope - though it
could be a lengthy process to set up for many attributes.

Not sure if I know what you mean - can you send an example?
