1 line, attributes from many polygons....

Question

I feel like this is a simple task with an obvious solution....but they don't call me Captain Obvious for nothing...

I have a line feature class for which I wish to attribute every polygon the line(s) pass thru. For example, a line passes through many states, I can, with automation, write the name of every state it passes through (with commas) to a text field.

Can't be the first person to want to do this?

As @ClayDonaldsonSWCA said, and here is a pretty good guide to that.  This is for ArcMap, but still the same procedure, you just have to hunt for the options in Pro.

this can be done with spatial join and the join field mapping!
