Using ArcGIS Pro 3.3.1

Could someone tell me what is wrong with the expression, please. I am trying to use contains or possibly use intersects to bring back the zip in an attribute field when an address is being added in the database. The zip boundaries are on the sde. and I am wanting it to recognize the ZIP field in that data.

Quite a few things, really.

The Polygon function just creates a single polygon from a text-based definition, it won't work with an entire datastore
To get a layer by name out of the datastore, you have to use the function FeatureSetByName.

There are other issues as well, but honestly, just throw that whole expression out. To intersect with another layer, you need to get the other layer as a FeatureSet, and you also need to reference an individual feature for the intersection.

It might look something like this:

// zip polygons var zips = FeatureSetByName($datastore, 'ZIP_CODE_BOUNDARIES', ['ZIP'], true) // intersect var xs_zips = Intersects($feature, zips) // grab the first intersected feature var the_zip = First(xs_zips) // return the zip of that feature return the_zip['ZIP']

Using ArcGIS Pro attribute rules you can do this rather easily - see an example here - Solved: Using Attribute Rules to calculate fields from int... - Esri Community
