Refresh attribute data?

BrentW — Wed, 25 Oct 2023 16:02:25 GMT

A very simple function that I'm sure I'm overlooking. I created/calculated a second column (Length) identical to Shape.Length, for my needs. I have edited the vertices of this feature (in green) but the length (94') hasn't updated when I've completed the operation. Is there a function I'm overlooking to refresh & update the data, or must I re-calculate the column all over again?

As your length attribute field is user created/managed, you'll need to run the Calculate Geometry Attributes GP tool on the field to get the latest values. Unlike the Shape_Length field, it's not an automatic calculation.

Hey Robert, thank ya Sir! I was worried this would be my answer, as I don't know how it'll affect the spatial joins I have since doing this step, but if I must....I must. I appreciate you Sir!

Certainly! There is a way to make this automatic through the use of Calculation Attribute rules as described here.
