Asking because I haven’t found an answer yet.
My location has a point of Interest without the buildings perimeter. I added the perimeter, how to I attribute the perimeter to the existing poi?
Using go-map! Anything helps.
Sorry, but what you’ve said doesn’t quite make sense?
Could you please share the location so we can see what you’re getting at?
JOSM has a “merge geometry” that can merge a point onto a polygon copying all the tags and using the original poi point as one of the points defining the polygon (thus preserving history).
Maybe the other editors have an equivalent. . .

Unless I’m misunderstanding the question, I don’t think you really need to do anything further. If the POI node is positioned within the building outline, data consumers can already infer that the POI is within the building.
Some mappers prefer to merge the POI tags with the building tags, but IMHO that makes things less clear as it isn’t always obvious which tags are for the building vs. the POI.

Okay. That makes sense. I Just want to make the info as clear & sensable as possible.
Thanks!
So what are you trying to add?
You can copy tags from poi point into building area, and then delete now empty point.
But it is not needed and just makes things worse.
The building around Node: The Fresh Market (5148415753) | OpenStreetMap shown on your screenshot is not added in the OpenStreetMap data.
You can/should absolutely do this, as many buildings are missing in that region.
I wouldn’t use Go Map!! for this, though.
When doing things like this, I do it slightly different, I prefer to preserve history “togheter”, so I delete the tags from the node, but not the node itself. Just add the node to the way by simply start drawing the way from it, or merging with other node of the way (Josm lets you choice which node history you keep), and delete the tags.
