Hi, I’m finding XMLFragmenter removes geometry, is this expected?

Data Interoperability in Pro 3.3, so FME 2024.0.1.0 build 24202.

Thanks.

Hey @bruceharold 

From what I’m able to gather, this is currently expected behavior for the XMLFragmenter to remove geometry. You can use the FeatureJoiner or FeatureMerger to rejoin the features with fragments to the geometry as a workaround.

If you believe the XMLFragmenter should not remove geometry, we’d love to hear your suggestion as an idea for improvement in future releases.

Hope this helps!

I’m going to say that it shouldn't be removing geometry but I just tested in FME 2023.1 and found the same. 

Hard to say if expected or bug though :-/

Same here, have seen it happen and I don’t think it should happen.

Thanks @emmaatsafe , that’s what I did to work around this - join geometry back.
