I have four different feature types that I want to merge into a single feature class. In ArcGIS, the merge tool will keep all unique attribute fields, which is what I want. I have looked into FeatureMerger, but I don't think that will work, since I am not trying to join anything. Are there any transformers that can perform this operation?
I am using FME 2016.

If I understand correctly, you just need to connect everything to the same transformer/feature type. If you set the attribute mode to automatic on the writer then you will get all of the attributes written out.

Basically I'm trying to find something like Aggregator, but to preserve individual features. Is there is a way to do this with Aggregator?

Thanks, that's exactly what I need to do.
