In a workspace, I retrieve by spatial relation (AreaOnAreaOverlayer followed by a Sampler, SpatialRelator after InsidePointReplacer, ...) an attribute value in a table and a shape that have nothing to do with the table and the source shape.

 

So I create a second workspace in which I retrieve the previous attribute value in the table and the original shape by a Joiner.

 

 

How can I do this in one workspace?

Hi @40_eme, if the table and the shape have a common attribute that can be used as a join key, the FeatureMerger might help you.

Why not inspect features with Visual/Data Preview and Feature/Record Information before writing them into a destination dataset?

Thank you Takashi, it's perfect.

There is also a custom transformer in the FME Hub, Unconditional FeatureMerger. It merges attributes regardless of a join key. I use it all the time for situations like you are describing.
