Hello, ListFile is a source processor so this behavior is expected. It supports expression language so that it can be configured to utilize certains methods. For example, some people may want to get a list of files from a rotating directory that gets created every hour. To do that they would need to use the date functions included in Expression Language.
Does forbidding input hinder a specific use-case you have?

The processor supports expression language in the Input Directory property, however I can't figure out how to configure an attribute as input. I tried using UpdateAttribute prior to ListFile, but ListFile doesn't seem to allow incoming connections. I also tried creating an attribute within ListFile, but it doesn't seem to be available for referencing within the same processor. Is this expected? If so, what is the intended purpose of allowing expression language in this attribute?
