Geometry not generated by immediate calculation for insert action

Question

Hi, I am trying to create an arcade code for immediate calculation to generate a geometry feature.

I have managed to create a code for updating the attributes of a Polygon feature class when there is a change in the attributes of a Table feature class. For the insert action, I have used a filter function to join the two feature classes and then employed a Geometry function to create a new feature's geometry. However, the code for the insert action does not work for some reason. I have been investigating a workaround, but I haven't had any luck yet.

Greatly appreciate it if anyone could point out what I am doing wrong.

Found a solution - Split the code into two rules for each of insert and update, then it works.

However, still uncertain why the single code with both insert and update did not work.

The problem is any Feature of the Polygon layer (both attribute and Geometry) is not created even if I create a new record in a Table feature class.

To make sure if the filter works or not, I have applied the filter (line 8, 9 and 10) for Update, and update works fine with this filter setting, i.e. Park_ID was found in the National_parks.CODE field.

I have also tested another thing - if I did not include the geometry (exclude line 17), a row of the attribute was created successfully in the Polygon layer but of course with no geometry.

This is the situation that I have come across and struggling to work around.

By the way the @Key in line 10 in my actual code is small case. For some reasons, it became a proper case when I past the code into this post.

So what exactly is the problem?

* Feature isn't created
* Feature is created (there is a row in the attribute table), but without geometry
* An error occurs (error message?)
* Something other

First thing I'd check id that your Park_ID can actually be found in the National_parks.CODE field. If not, the rule will abort in line 12.
