Great comment, Chelsea. I have not played with Attribute Rules (AR) for a while, but those are great points. It would be very helpful to Calculate Lat/Long in WGS84 decimal degrees. Regarding your main example with autopopulating the municipality name on a point layer. Attribute Assistant (AA) would use the feature class in the current map (ArcMap) or project (ArcGIS Pro). I am not sure how it works in Attribute Rules, but it would be useful to configure such a rule to point directly to a production feature class. As long as all editors have access to this read-only layer, this should be a straight-forward rule to configure.  If anyone from the community or the Esri team has any updates regarding the Attribute Rules capabilities, it would be great to learn more. ...

The following expression has been tested successfully on a number field and text field to provide functionality similar to INTERSECTING_FEATURE in Attribute Assistant. I still need to test the example provided from GitHub. Kudos to Adam on the Technical Support team for researching and providing the Arcade expression for testing. Arcade Expression: var FCB= FeatureSetByName($datastore,"FeatureclassB") var fset = Intersects(FCB, $feature) for (var f in fset){ return (f.FIELDNAME)} In AA terms, "FeatureclassB" and "FIELDNAME" are the feature class name and field name you would enter in the VALUEINFO field in the Dynamic Value table. As a user who is still in the early stages of testing AR, I prefer the GP tool interface for Add Attribute Rule over the Attribute Rule View accessed via the Contents Pane (right-click feature class, Design, Attribute Rules). Help documentation links for both provided below. I may come around to the Attribute Rules view as I become more proficient with AR and Arcade.

I will test the expression at my earliest convenience and provide feedback on the thread. If this provides a solution for INTERSECTING_FEATURE, that would be a huge win. ... View more

I agree. It would be helpful to be able to update a map service URL or data source from an AGOL map. This functionality would be very helpful as our data sources improve and are eventually migrated to a map service pointing to a registered GDB. This would come in very handy for any users migrating data sources to a new database and/or server. ... View more

I am also looking for guidance and documentation for adding Attribute Rules to a dataset. As stated by @Michael Kolz, the limitation/restrictions associated with Attribute Rules are a definite deterrent to migrating to ArcGIS Pro. Add Attribute Rule—Data Management toolbox | ArcGIS Desktop  Note: Once you have added attribute rules to a dataset, the minimum client version for the dataset is ArcGIS Pro 2.1. This means that the dataset will no longer be available for use in ArcGIS Desktop. Requested Enhancements/Updates - It would be helpful if Attribute Rules could be used on FGDB tables/feature classes. Currently only valid for enterprise GDB. - Enhanced Attribute Rule documentation for different rule types (intersecting feature, autonumber, expression, timestamp, nearest feature, etc). Documentation and examples are very helpful for Attribute Assistant (for ArcGIS Desktop). - Ability to import Atttribute Assistant rules from ArcGIS Desktop into Attribute Rules. It would be very helpful to see the translation for working Attribute Rules, especially for those of us learning to write/edit rules using Arcade for the first time. - Ability to turn Attribute Rules on/off. This functionality comes in handy with the Attribute Assistant toolbar for ArcGIS Desktop. While this may currently be a deterrent to migrating to Pro, I am optimistic Esri will make significant enhancements with future releases. It will be interesting to learn about improvements to Attribute Rules at the Esri UC next month. ... View more

Thank you for your help Derek and Rebecca. Rebecca - good luck on your upgrade. ... View more

Derek and Rebecca, When reviewing the technical requirements for ArcGIS Desktop 10.4.x I noticed that SQL Server 2008 was not on the list of supported SQL platforms - Rebecca pointed this out as well. Thank you to Derek for providing the KB article to verify this information. I installed SQL Server 2012 Native Client on a test machine and was able to add a connection to a SQL Server 2008 R2 database. Hopefully this will help someone else in a similar situation. Our organization is currently in the process of modernizing many of our enterprise applications to the most current version possible. SQL Server is likely next as we migrate away from SQL Server 2008 R2. ... View more
