Trouble with Attribute Transfer Tool

[ScottHarrison]

I have two shapefiles and am trying to copy attibutes from one shapefile to the other. I've used this tool many times, but obviously I'm doing something wrong this time and can't figure it out. I'm using version 10 ArcMap.

Both shapefiles have identical fields in the data tables. I used the 'attribute transfer mapping' tool to select my source and target fields. Both shapefiles are selectable. Both shapefiles are in the same editable workspace. I use the 'attribute transfer tool' to select the source feature and it flashes, but when I click the destination feature nothing happens.

I can copy the attributes from the source feature and paste them into the target feature, but for some reason the 'attibute transfer tool' will not work. What could I be doing wrong.

Thanks,

Thanks, I ran into the same issue and this fixed it. Using version 10.2.2. I also seem to be running into a glitch where data I am editing "disappears" in the MXD. Close out and even new MXD needed as well.
