Auto Increment ID attribute rule

Question

Good morning,

Can we add an attribute rule to a hosted feature class to calculate the next value for an ID?

I created a feature class in ArcGIS Pro with an attribute rule to Auto Increment the ID, and published the feature class as a hosted feature in AGOL, but the rule is missing.

Thanks

Quick addendum, another option is to used a scheduled notebook to set IDs on all features that currently have null values, however this involves a significant delay and wouldn't be appropriate for time-sensitive workflows.

Although I haven't done this myself, I think you could do it with a webhook.  Write the webhook to capture the feature's details, perform the calculation, then write back to it.  There's going to be a brief delay and I'm not sure you'd see the calculation reflected immediately.

Here's a blog post on setting up webhooks in AGOL:

If editing is primarily taking place through web map forms, you can do calculations in those as well, although they won't be applied if editing occurs in other contexts (like REST API calls).

How do you create an auto-calculated script   in AGOL?
