  Hey,
  
  To be honest: This sounds easier than it actually is. I have tried several approaches, but couldn't find a satisfying solution (which does not mean there is none). In such cases you can use the "Execute Script" operator, which is not recommended, but it works. See the attached process. If I come up with a better solution I will post it here again.

  
  <?xml version="1.0" encoding="UTF-8" standalone="no"?>
  <process version="5.3.009">
    <context>
      <input/>
      <output/>
      <macros/>
    </context>
    <operator activated="true" class="process" compatibility="5.3.009" expanded="true" name="Process">
      <process expanded="true">
        <operator activated="true" class="generate_data" compatibility="5.3.009" expanded="true" height="60" name="Generate Data" width="90" x="45" y="30">
          <parameter key="number_examples" value="10"/>
          <parameter key="number_of_attributes" value="10"/>
          <parameter key="attributes_lower_bound" value="0.0"/>
        </operator>
        <operator activated="true" class="generate_empty_attribute" compatibility="5.3.009" expanded="true" height="76" name="Generate Empty Attribute" width="90" x="179" y="30">
          <parameter key="name" value="best_confidence_attribute"/>
          <parameter key="value_type" value="polynominal"/>
        </operator>
        <operator activated="true" class="execute_script" compatibility="5.3.009" expanded="true" height="76" name="Execute Script" width="90" x="313" y="30">
          <parameter key="script" value="ExampleSet exampleSet = operator.getInput(ExampleSet.class);&#10;for(Example example : exampleSet) {&#10;&#9;double maxVal = Double.MIN_VALUE;&#10;&#9;Attribute maxAttribute = null;&#10;&#9;for(Attribute attribute : exampleSet.getAttributes()) {&#10;&#9;&#9;if(attribute.getName().equals(&quot;best_confidence_attribute&quot;)) {&#10;&#9;&#9;&#9;continue;&#10;&#9;&#9;}&#10;&#9;&#9;double currentVal = example[attribute.getName()];&#10;&#9;&#9;if(maxVal &lt; currentVal) {&#10;&#9;&#9;&#9;maxVal = currentVal;&#10;&#9;&#9;&#9;maxAttribute = attribute;&#10;&#9;&#9;}&#10;&#9;}&#10;&#9;example['best_confidence_attribute'] = maxAttribute.getName();&#10;}&#10;return exampleSet;&#10;"/>
        </operator>
        <connect from_op="Generate Data" from_port="output" to_op="Generate Empty Attribute" to_port="example set input"/>
        <connect from_op="Generate Empty Attribute" from_port="example set output" to_op="Execute Script" to_port="input 1"/>
        <connect from_op="Execute Script" from_port="output 1" to_port="result 1"/>
        <portSpacing port="source_input 1" spacing="0"/>
        <portSpacing port="sink_result 1" spacing="0"/>
        <portSpacing port="sink_result 2" spacing="0"/>
      </process>
    </operator>
  </process>
