Hello there, I have a question about how the attributes are displayed in the 'FeatureJoiner'. I did an inner join (pic- feature joiner parameters box) with my two dataset and selected the join port. I viewed the data in Data Inspector and found the attributes from both datasets are not displayed in the attribute table (pic- 2nd picture, only displaying attributes from the right dataset) but only in the 'Feature Information' box (pic- attributes displayed from both).

 

My question is, how do I get both features to display in the attribute table?

The second picture does not appear to be the output of the "FeatureJoiner" Transformer but is instead the output of "MetersChanged11162020_diffADDR" (presumably a Reader).

 

So the data being inspected is instead probably the Right Features Input, rather than the FeatureJoiner Output.

Hi @cshir065​ ,

 

in the Data Inspector, when attributes are not shown in the attribute table but only in the feature information box, is because they need to be exclicitly exposed. Are you sure that all attributes you need are shown in the attribute table before the FeatureJoiner? Maybe you could use some Inspector before the FeatureMerger to debug the issue and use an AttributeExposer if needed.

 

Hope that helps!

Thanks, @bwn​  and @davtorgh​ 

I went back and checked the attributes at each transformer after the FeatureJoiner and realized it was an issue with the Excel Writer I was using. I had to expose the attributes from the left join and everything worked! 👍
