In an Esri SDE database, fields (attributes) have a property setting of isNullable (Allow NULL). This property determines if the field allows null values or not. I want to be able to set this property in FME when I create a new feature class. Is there a way to set this property with the Esri Geodatabase SDE writer? See screenshot below to see how to set the setting in ArcGIS Pro.

Allow NULL property

@ab_crd​ FME does not have an option to alter the Allow NULL setting on a feature class attribute. But by default all the attributes that FME creates will be Allow NULL

@Mark Stoakes​  Thanks Mark, I'll figure out another way.


This is kind of a big deal, at least for ArcGIS Indoors. Many of the attributes for Indoors does not allow Nullable. So if using FME to convert your CAD drawings and the output is all nullable, the featureclass doesn't work properly for indoors.
