Hi, When Payload-factory mediator was initially developed, the main objective was to provide an easy and intuitive way to create a new payload from a well defined template. It turns out to be a very common use case, specially when integrating data services. Although the same functionality can be gained from Enrich mediator with somewhat less obvious configuration, we thought adding a new mediator is justified given how common the use case is.
Using Payload-factory mediator with 'target' attribute to modify a part of the envelop makes less sense to me, we might as well use Enrich mediator for such cases.
