Hi @dfresh,

I'm not sure if this totally addresses your workflow, but the Dissolver (https://docs.safe.com/fme/2017.1/html/FME_Desktop_Documentation/FME_Transformers/Transformers/dissolver.htm) might be a good place to start.

We have this article that uses the example of dissolving boundaries based on election results : https://knowledge.safe.com/articles/28997/merging-polygons-with-the-dissolver-transformer.html

Thanks @AnnabelleAtSafe, I will definitely need to use the Dissolver, however I will be running this dynamically or different feature classes where the attributes could change between feature class. so defining editable fields dynamically could be the one I need to address

Ok, I finally got around to finishing this, only took 20 minutes to implement and validate.

  1. Dissolver (all attributes, except OBJECTID/UID)
  2. Duplicate Filter - duplicates are equal to Unesscary Polygon Boundaries
