Calculate field not grabbing desired Feature attributes

ZacharyMoenius

Hello all! We've been using the two codes below to calculate CenterlineID and Street Name attributes from the road that features are on and have come to the realization that at times it's not giving the desired results and grabbing the data from another nearby road. I was wondering if anyone else has had this issue and come up with a solution for it or if I'm subjected to a fate of manually copy pasting upwards of hundreds a day. Thank you so much for help with this!

CenterlineID

StreetName

var streetLayer = FeatureSetByName($datastore, "Roads", ["CENTERLINE_ID"]); var searchDistance = 1000; var streetIntersect = Intersects(streetLayer, Buffer($feature, searchDistance, "feet")); var cnt = Count(streetIntersect);   var minDistance = Infinity; var name = Null if (cnt > 0) {    for (var street in streetIntersect) {        var dist = Distance(street, $feature, "feet");        if (dist < minDistance) {            name = street.CENTERLINE_ID;            minDistance = dist        }    } } else {    // pass no features found within search distance, name remains null }   return name;

var streetLayer = FeatureSetByName($datastore, "Roads", ["FULL_STREET_NAME"]); var searchDistance = 1000; var streetIntersect = Intersects(streetLayer, Buffer($feature, searchDistance, "feet")); var cnt = Count(streetIntersect);   var minDistance = Infinity; var name = Null if (cnt > 0) {    for (var street in streetIntersect) {        var dist = Distance(street, $feature, "feet");        if (dist < minDistance) {            name = street.FULL_STREET_NAME;            minDistance = dist        }    } } else {    // pass no features found within search distance, name remains null }   return name;

Given the phrase, "another nearby road" (emphasis added), my first question is whether the road results being returned are also within that 1000-unit search radius.  Because if so, that's technically also a valid result from your script, and you'll need to figure out a way to disambiguate the two.

At a glance, you'd probably need to take all results within that 1000-unit radius and then compare distances from your point to pull the closest one.  At that point, it's also worth asking the question of whether the 1000-unit radius is even necessary, in practice.  Depending on your data, it might be, and it might not.
