Would be worth adding steps that explicitly clear selections, set the same CRS/extents, etc. Personally I would create defensive copies of the features/tables along the way before performing the final spatial join, to identify where in the processing steps the issue might arise from problems with feature layer sources.</P> Fri, 13 Feb 2026 05:44:48 GMT geo-theo 2026-02-13T05:44:48Z https://community.esri.com/t5/geoprocessing-questions/re-error-in-spatial-join-when-used-in-model/m-p/1656110#M27635 <P>Hey Guys,</P><P>I have been doing some spatial analysis in arcgis, and I have made a model, one of the issues that I am facing is that I have a set of points on which I am doing a clustering and since I want to maintain the original id, using Add Join geoprocessing tool to join the clustering output back to the original table. After that I am doing a spatial join of another feature class(Lets call it feature class A) with clustered points(Feature class B ) to get the features in the vicinity, and finally filtering out that these two features should be within a day of each other. My issue is sometimes the spatial join is generating an output and other times leaving all the features from feature class B empty in the final join table, any possible solutions would be appreciated.&nbsp;</P> Wed, 08 Oct 2025 02:16:42 GMT https://community.esri.com/t5/geoprocessing-questions/re-error-in-spatial-join-when-used-in-model/m-p/1656110#M27635 DivyaSehgal 2025-10-08T02:16:42Z https://community.esri.com/t5/geoprocessing-questions/re-error-in-spatial-join-when-used-in-model/m-p/1657682#M27638 <P>If you have left any selections on or set environment settings such as processing extent then this could lead to the scenario you are experiencing. Without further details and a repeatable sample it will be difficult for anyone to nail down the issue. May be its a database issue, you say nothing about the source of your datasets, e.g are they hosted feature layers or a shapefile on onedrive...
