That's interesting. I wonder if it is a character encoding problem - are you running FME on the same system that you are using to manually add the fields? Are there special characters? Is the GIS an ESRI product or a different application that just happens to use Shapefiles? If you want to send it to us at [EMAIL PROTECTED] we'd be interested to investigate and find out what's going on.
