Is there a way to transfer attributes, not geometry, from one feature to another?

Good morning,

I was wondering what the best practice is for transferring attributes, not geometry, from one feature to another? For instance, I want the ID number from one feature to be placed in another feature, to show correlation, but keep the original geometry.

Thank you!

David

Based on a common attribute, the FeatureJoiner (before 2018 FeatureMerger) can do this.

Based on Spatial interaction, this can be done by the Overlayer transformers or the NeighborFinder.

Many options to transfer attributes, based on joining (merging) data.

Most of these have the options to merge Geometry/Attributes only/Both.

Thanks @erik_jan! The Overlayer transformers are what I needed.
