I have found that the feature reader will not accept point data as the initiator. 

I have since found that in Version 15 a change was made: -

  • Spatial operations will reject initiator features with point geometries to match native reader behaviour.

Does anyone know why this was changed and if there is a way to force it to accept points without having to create a very small buffer to it and then recreate the point after the feature reader.

Hi ​@bubblebeb 

What you’re describing is a known issue. While I can't say for sure what underlying problem the 'match native reader' change was meant to solve, I’m happy to note that it has since been fixed in FME 2025.0.3 (Build 25241) 🙂

I see you’ve already identified the current workaround, creating a small buffer before feeding the points into the initiator port, but for a full fix please use FME 2025.0.3+
