Attribute Rules - Constraint rule for creating point outside a polygon layer

cwlee27 — Tue, 22 Mar 2022 00:28:00 GMT

Hello,

I'm trying to create a simple attribute rule to prevent a user from creating a point outside a polygon layer. My code is below, when I hit validate it seems to check out but when I try creating points it returns the error even if the point is inside the polygon layer I'm referencing. Any feedback is much appreciated, thanks!

-------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------

// variable for 'AOR' layer
var aor = FeatureSetByName($datastore, "aor", ['*'], True);

// boolean "if statement" for determining if point intersects the 'aor' layer
if (Within($feature, aor) == True)
return True
else
return False

From the documentation:,

This function has 2 signatures:

You use the second version (with a geometry for the inner feature and a feature set for the outer features) and expect a boolean return value, but it actually returns a feature set of polygons. So you have to check if this feature set contains any features.

var aor = FeatureSetByName($datastore, "aor") return Count(Within($feature, aor)) > 0 // you could also do this //return First(Within($feature, aor)) != null
