How to fill attribute field of one feature based on calculation on attribute field of another feature and relate them so data gets updated when edited in the other feature class?

Question

Hey folks,

I was wondering if it is possible to calculate a field in one feature class based on attributes in another feature class, and relate them so when I edit in my second feature class the calculated field in my first feature class gets updated automatically?

Thank you.

Hi Niklas,

I would recommend looking at the attribute assistant tool for ArcMap. You are able to run rules with the attributes and two of them are to calculate field based upon intersecting feature and the other is to update intersecting feature. There is plenty of documentation here.
