Attribute Rules constraint issue

Question

Hi, Im trying to create a constraint that prevents a field (name_id) from being edited

I can't figure out what's wrong with this statement:

if ($feature.name_id !=$feature.name_id)

{

return false;

}

else

return true;

Thanks for the help!

Do you have more information about the issue, what is wrong with the script, or what the behavior of the script is unexpected?

Based on a cursory glance, I think you should be using the $originalfeature global to check if the edit that triggers the rule is changing the attribute for that field (name_id).

if ($feature.name_id !=$originalfeature.name_id)
