I am using FeatureMerger, I want to join the feature class with an excel sheet. Is there any way to add the attributes of the excel sheet to feature class without dropping?

:) Yes I tried it, didn`t work. I can not choose drop, cause there are domains and subtypes in the gdb. When I drop the table, I lose them. I found these articles below, I will try them:

In that case you should add the fields in ArcGIS and use the Writers > Update Feature Types menu to update the definition in FME.
