I have a large number of points that are in polygons I want to copy data from the polygon to its included points. What would be the easiest way? I have tried the pointoverlaypolygon and I seem to lose my attributes when I try to get them to the point shps. Thank you.

The PointonAreaOverlayer should be the transformer to use.
You do need the attributes on the output featuretype to write the attributes (or set the attributes to automatic).
If the attributes exist on the points the transformer will not overwrite the existing attributes unless you use these settings:

Alternatively if you're only interested in passing the polygon attributes to the point and not vice versa, you can use the spatialFilter Test to Perform Contains with Merge Attributes selected
