Attribute's role gets lost in "work on subset"

qwertz

Dear community,

in the following process I generate a dataset including a label attribute. But when feeding the dataset into the "work on subset" operator the role of the label attribute seems to be set temporarily to "regular" (see result at breakpoint).

I believe this is why the weighting operator doesn't provide any results in the end. However, after the whole process finished, the label attribute has its former role again. Is there any setting that could be wrong in my process?

There is another sample process:

In this case I try to just pass the label through the "work on subset" operator but with AND without having the feature "include special attributes" checked, the result doesn't include the label.

EDIT: Have submitted a report now in the bug tracker system (bug 1353)

Hi Sachs,

this seems to be a bug. Thanks for reporting :-)

Best,

Update: Just found another curiosity concerning the "work on subset" operator concerning the "include special attributes" function.

Details and a sample process can be found under the same tracking number as I thought it might be correlated to the first issue and it affects the same operator. http://bugs.rapid-i.com/show_bug.cgi?id=1353


Kind regards
