How do you populate missing/null feature attributes from values of a single feature?

Here is another simple-yet-not question:

I am working with a large pdf and want to populate pdf_document_info_metadata attribute values for every feature.

 

I have tried: FeatureMerger, Joiner, Aggregator, AttributeValueMapper, NullAttributeMapper, AttributeManager (trying to use Adjacent Feature) etc.

 

This should not be that hard, but I'm at a loss. Any ideas?

 

Thanks,

@lorenrouth​

FeatureMerger with values 1 for both Requestor and Supplier. (Like 1=1, it will match the supplier to each requestor.)

Hi @nielsgerrits​ ,

Yeah, I tried that first but it didn't work. Here are a few screenshots:

 

popfeature1popfeatureI merged on the Counter value as well as fme_feature_type, but no dice.

Wait, you mean actually using "1" to join on! OK it works now.

 

Thanks!
