Hello.
Python 3.6.8, ArcGIS Pro, file geodatabase.
I have a feature class Applications which is the result of a previous script. Fields I am interested in are Status (string), Rank (integer), Area.Shape. One of the features in Applications already has a Status = "Confirmed". It's the row with the highest Rank. Other Status values are null, "Failed", "Pending".
Below is a mixture of aspiration of the script and a proposed method although I have to admit this is stretching the limits of my current python. I am not sure this process is possible after looking a other scripts that use da.updatecursor?
I would like to -
Create Pending_Applications layer from Applications feature class where Status = "Pending"
Create Confirmed_Applications layer from Applications feature class where Status = "Confirmed".
Iterate in order of Rank field the Pending_Applications- select the record of the current row
If the selected feature intersects the Confirmed_Applications layer update the Status field to "Defeated"
else if it does not intersect Confirmed_Applications update the Status field to "Confirmed" (if sum of Area.Shape of the Confirmed_Applications + the Area.Shape of the current row =< 8,000)
else update the Status field to "Capped Out" (if sum of Area.Shape of the Confirmed_Applications + the Area.Shape of the current row > 8,000) update the Status field to "Capped Out".
Once a row is updated would the next iteration re-read the Confirmed_Applications layer again with additional features where the Status had been updated to "Confirmed" in previous iterations?
Many tanks.
