laptop and a wrench

Bug

When running the Spatial Join tool, if two fields in the Target Features layer and the Join Features layer have the same name, and if only the field from the Join Features is specified in the Field Map of Join Features, the output value of that field will be the value from the Target Features layer instead of the Join Features layer.
