hi everyone!

 some of my line features (ex. pipes) have text features floating above (top left) of the line, describing what type of pipe it is. I want to add that text as an attribute field to that feature. but also not all of the lines have one and I want it to only match if it's describing that feature (not grabbing a random text field nearby). This is my workflow so far, with some brief descriptions. I'll also note that everytime I've tried to use neighborfinder, the autocad_text_string AND fme_text_string values of certain lines show numbers (ex. 356.77, 623.44) instead of the descriptive text it should have shown. im guessing those are possible distance values it’s grabbing….

I've been trying this for hours and would appreciate any help given. thanks in advance! my workflow is attached below.
