Hi Paul, Just a few questions regarding the FeatureSchema Name, since I'm unable to come up with the use case myself. I can see that it is simpler to look at the Name than to compare all of the attributeNames individually, but I would hate to make that assumption and then find that the user has deleted an attribute I was depending on. Also, would the FeatureSchema Name be persisted in the Task (.jmp) file, and if so how does that affect compatibility?
