Hi Scott, That is a tricky one - the answer is yes, but something doesn't appear to work as I thought it did.
What you can do is publish the parameters, like this... Update a single Joiner transformer In the Navigation Pane > Workspace tab > Transformers section - locate the edited Joiner. Expand it's settings. Find the setting you want to duplicate, right-click and choose publish. Enter some published parameter settings Locate the other Joiners. Expand their settings. Find the setting you want, right click and choose set to published. Choose the published parameter you set before. The Joiners are now all sharing the same setting. The bit that doesn't work as expected is that I thought you could do the sharing beforehand, then make changes and they would ripple through all other Joiners automatically. However, for some reason going through the Joiner wizard resets all the published parameters. I will query that with our developers today, but it could certainly be an intended feature. And for certain settings in the Joiner, you can just edit them directly in the navigation pane without going through the wizard. Password is one of these, but unfortunately, the table fields setting isn't. Anyway - I hope this helps. It should certainly prevent you having to go through the wizard so many times.
