I have a workspace where I am reading spatial data from an Enterprise geodatabase, modifying only a single attribute and updating that attribute using a feature writer. I'm reading the data dynamically and want to write it dynamically too. The data consists of points, lines, and polygons.

 

My question is, when updating only a single field, and not spatial data, does the writer ignore the geometry type? Or do I have to split my data up into point, line and polygon before it hits the writer and specify the correct geometry for each type?

This is a case for dynamic workflows, albeit an easy one.

The gist of what you need to do is enable dynamic schema definition, set the schema source to the reader, and set the geometry to 'Defined by Schema'
