System Information
Operating system: Windows 10 x64

Blender Version
Broken: blender-2.93.0-e4a55b46c406-windows64

Short description of error
It seems like the Object info node ignores the objects attributes

Exact steps for others to reproduce the error
Load the attached file and check the "Icosphere" that is selected in the Object Info node, you will see it ignores existing attributes blocks

Thanks for the report. This is because the object info node creates an instance, and the list doesn't gather attribute names from instances. I can see why this is confusing though, because there's no real distinction between instances and other objects in the node tree.

@JacquesLucke Do you think we should gather attribute info from instances too, or leave this as a known issue?

One of the use cases of bringing existing attributes is being able to delete/remove points based on some attributeby using the point seperate. I definetey think this will be one of the important uses.

Hm, we could try and see how it goes. If we add some upper bound on how many instances are checked, this might be fine.

The other problem one might run into (based on the screenshot) is that the Attribute Randomize node is never evaluated when it is not connected to the output.

@JacquesLucke

The node is not connected because I attached the other one, connecting it does not make a difference in this case.

Right, it would make a difference with the changes we're talking about though.
