Hi guys, I have been having an issue where some Base feature attributes where an attribute is Null are being populated with the attribute of the first Base feature that passes through the transformer.... the Candidate doesn't have this attribute so i can't be from that. I've run the workbench on FME 2020 and 2021 and get the same result. Cheers, Dave.

Really strange: the GeographicNeighborFinder is a Hub transformer, I can see it in the list but can't seem to download it through Workbench.

 

Anyway, it looks like the nulls are causing trouble with the matching. You can try avoid that by using a NullAttributeMapper to map them to something you are 100% certain won't match anything else in the data. Otherwise, getting in touch with the person who developed it. It's listed as being by Safe, so I'm sure @mark2atsafe​ can pass word to the right people.
