Bug with arcpy.management.EnableEditorTracking on Enterprise 10.9.1

Hello,

I encounter a bug when I use arcpy.management.EnableEditorTracking on ArcGIS Enterprise 10.9.1 (not ArcGIS Pro)

The method seems to not support the None value for the fields parameters:

 

 

import arcpy, os

FC = os.path.join(r"\\server", "my_database.sde", "my_feature_class")
arcpy.management.EnableEditorTracking(
    in_dataset = FC,
    creator_field = None,
    creation_date_field = None,
    last_editor_field = None,
    last_edit_date_field = "et_last_edit_date",
    add_fields = "ADD_FIELDS",
    record_dates_in = "UTC"
)

 

 

As we can see in the screenshot, the et_last_edit_date field is applied to the creator field (Champ d'auteur in french) not the last edit date field as it is specified in the code above.

Hi @ChristianWells ,

Thank you for taking the time with this. Unfortunately, what you suggest does not solve the problem with the arcpy.management.EnableEditorTracking

The script just not works when I remove the unused parameters.

arcpy.management.EnableEditorTracking(
    in_dataset = FC,
    last_edit_date_field = "et_last_edit_date",
    add_fields = "ADD_FIELDS",
    record_dates_in = "UTC"
)

arcgisscripting.ExecuteError: ERROR 001215: Enable editor tracking skipped for field: et_last_edit_date. 

I have tried all possibles parameters combinations and there is no way to make the function enable tracking editor only for the last modified date field.
