Hello, I'm using a Feature Reader to read a csv. I would like to keep the incoming attributes from a sql query. Even though I use "Merge Initiator and Result" in the parameters they are not merged in the output. (The incoming are output via Schema and Initiator, the csv attributes via CSV) Is it possible to get a single output with the incoming attributes and the attributes from the csv?

I just tested the following:

And I got both the initiator and the CSV attributes merged together at the "CSV" output port.

Can you perhaps elaborated the issue, or even post a sample workspace?

Perhaps choose Prefix for the Conflict Resolution if the attributes are similar.

Have you set the parameters of the CSV file correctly and are they the same for each file? Imight be issue with different headings and FME trying to find the given headings, while they are not available.
