You add a linked custom transformer to your workspace, then change it to embedded. You make changes to it. Can you now revert it to a linked transformer?

You add a linked custom transformer to your workspace, then change it to embedded. You make changes to it. Can you now revert it to a linked transformer?

• A. Yes
• B. No
• C. Only if you revert before saving
• D. Reversion is automatic on next run

Answer: (B)

The main idea is that embedding a custom transformer dissolves the link to its external library and makes a local copy inside the workspace. Once you switch to embedded, edits you make affect only that local copy. There isn’t a built‑in automatic way to re-create a link to the original external transformer after you’ve embedded and changed it. To get back to a linked state, you would need to replace the embedded copy with a fresh linked transformer from the library. That’s why reverting to a linked transformer isn’t possible after you’ve embedded and edited.
