Fields not checked in Join are showing up in Union and data output

Number4

I have five fields I've unchecked in my join.  These fields are still showing up in my Union and in the data output as well.

Can you provide an example?

Hi @Number4!

 

(Un)Checking fields in your Join tool only affects the J output. If you are using the Union to keep records from your L or R output from the Join tool, all of the original fields from each of those sources will come through regardless of the configuration in the Join tool. 

 

Hope this helps!

Thanks for the info.  All I need to do is uncheck them from a downstream Select tool then.

Yeah, that's probably what I would do, @Number4
