***Note from Migration:***

Original Title was: Add Coordinate System Extracting/Setting functionality to GeometryExtractor/Replacer


You can use a pair of the GeometryExtractor and the GeometryReplacer effectively when you perform a geometric operation on the feature but need to restore the original geometry later. And if you perform coordinate system transformation in the operation, you will also have to restore the original coordinate system.

In such a case, you can use a pair of the CoordinateSystemExtractor and the CoordinateSystemSetter to restore the coordinate system, but it would be a bit tedious.

It would be nice if the GeometryExtractor/Replecer have the same functionality as the CoordinateSystemExtractor/Setter optionally.
Why not inspect features with Visual/Data Preview and Feature/Record Information before writing them into a destination dataset?

It would be added advantage. Having said that, I used Esri JSON to extract the geometry and later used Geometry replacer without any issue as Esri JSON stores Spatial reference by default.

I ran into the same issue.

I was expecting the Coordinate System to be restored too.

But it was not.

So yes, please, add that option.
