If you copy an attribute, the original attribute still exists on the feature.

If you copy an attribute, the original attribute still exists on the feature.

• A. Not necessarily
• B. True
• C. False
• D. Always

Answer: (B)

Copying an attribute in FME creates another attribute with the same value on the same feature, without removing the original. The operation duplicates the data under a new attribute name you choose, so the original attribute stays intact unless you explicitly delete or overwrite it later (for example, by copying into the same attribute name). Because a copy adds a new attribute rather than replacing the existing one, the original attribute remains on the feature.
