Can't select all attributes after a join. Only one side of the join.

I have had this problem recently. It seems that in some cases the meta data is not passed on correctly and I can't select attributes. Attached is a demo process that reproduces this at least for me on 9.2.

    Hi,

    the issue is that the old value series extension often does not handle or create meta data correctly.
    A possible solution to your current problem would be to just select those attribute you want to remove and check the "invert selection" checkbox.

    I hope that helps,
    David

    Also: even if the meta data is not propagated (which sometimes is simply not possible at all anyways...), you can always type the name of the columns into the box on the top right and click on the "plus" icon.  It will then be added to the list below as well.
    Hope this helps,
    Ingo

    Thanks David. Yes, inversion does work. That was the workaround I was using. It seems that two select attributes operators in sequence with the first being inverted and the second being normal allows you to select the attributes as you would expect.
