Copy some attributes from a second source


Forum|alt.badge.img

Apologies, This is a newbie question which shouldn't be this darn awkward to do.

I have two files A & B . Each have 3 attributes: NAME, ID, LABEL I want to copy A's NAME into B's LABEL based on the same ID.

I have been trying with Feature Merger. Join On for Requestor and Supplier are both pointing to the ID. A is the supplier. But the merged LABEL is not being overwritten.

any positive suggestions?

thanks kindly

Use the AttributeRemover to remove the empty LABEL before using the FeatureMerger.

By default an attribute is not overwritten in the FeatureMerger.

Oy.

Thanks kindly again Erik.

I had actually been adding in the LABEL so that it could be overwritten.

cool stuff.
