Summary0012257: Documentation bug with Resample with Dataset
DescriptionThe online documentation of the Resample with Dataset filter states, "The point attributes are computed at the Input point positions by interpolating into the source data." This is backwards. The source data provides the source geometry and point positions and the input data provides the field values. This inversion is throughout the documentation.
TagsNo tags attached.

Now that I think about this some more, I think the problem is systemic to poor naming of the inputs. The tags "Input" and "Source" are completely unhelpful. The words basically mean the same thing and provide no hints whatsoever. If we cannot even get the documentation right, how can we expect users to keep the two apart.

Thus, it would help to rename the inputs. How about using the terms "Interpolated Fields" and "Sampling Mesh" or something like that?
