Resolve domains option to output coded value rather than "null"

I added a new idea submission to add the option to bring over the original value (instead of just giving a warning in the original idea submission). Not sure if this is redundant but here is the link to upvote if you are so inclined:

• Resolve Domains: Option to set _resolved field value as the original value when not found in domain Open
• 2 Votes

I've got a dynamic solution for you! I created the ResolvedDomainPopulator transformer and shared it on the FME Hub. You can check it out here: https://hub.safe.com/publishers/geospatialize/transformers/resolveddomainpopulator

I'm constantly trying to improve this transformer and make it more valuable for the FME community. If you have any feedback, suggestions, or ideas on how I can make it better or easier to use, please reach out to me.

Cheers!

@geospatialize I tried to use this transformer but it’s built in Workbench 2024 and I am not sure I can get my workbench updated from 2023 just yet. Do you have any advice on how I can accomplish this task in Workbench 2023?

Hello @sammy, I used a simple pythoncaller transformer to do this task! This is the script that I used: 

import fmeobjects


def FeatureProcessor(feature):
    attributes = feature.getAllAttributeNames()
    for attr_name in attributes:
        if not attr_name.endswith('_resolved') and not attr_name.startswith('fme') and not attr_name.startswith('multi'):
            resolved_attr_name = attr_name + '_resolved'
            original_value = feature.getAttribute(attr_name)
            resolved_value = feature.getAttribute(resolved_attr_name)

            if original_value is not None and (resolved_value is None or str(resolved_value).strip() == ''):
                feature.setAttribute(resolved_attr_name, str(original_value))
            elif original_value is None and (resolved_value is None or str(resolved_value).strip() == ''):
                feature.setAttribute(resolved_attr_name, '<null>')

    return feature

I have also attached a workspace (used Workbench 2023.2.4) so you can copy the configured transformer into your workbench 2023 workspace!

Hope this help :D

import fmeobjects


def FeatureProcessor(feature):
    attributes = feature.getAllAttributeNames()
    for attr_name in attributes:
        if not attr_name.endswith('_resolved') and not attr_name.startswith('fme') and not attr_name.startswith('multi'):
            resolved_attr_name = attr_name + '_resolved'
            original_value = feature.getAttribute(attr_name)
            resolved_value = feature.getAttribute(resolved_attr_name)

            if original_value is not None and (resolved_value is None or str(resolved_value).strip() == ''):
                feature.setAttribute(resolved_attr_name, str(original_value))
            elif original_value is None and (resolved_value is None or str(resolved_value).strip() == ''):
                feature.setAttribute(resolved_attr_name, '<null>')

    return feature

@geospatialize  Thanks! I was also in the process of writing a python script so this will be helpful! Thank you!
