Detect split event

BerendVeldkamp — Tue, 21 May 2019 14:29:51 GMT

Is there a way to detect if a user has performed a Split operation?

I noticed that in this case the EditCompleted event has 1 'Modify', and 1 or more 'Creates'. In my case, the table has an ID field that must be unique, so I could check if in this situation all created records have the same ID as the modified record, but I was hoping there was a simpler way.

Berend,

There's no easy way at the moment to tell if a split operation has occurred. There is a splitevent in the internal editing namespace but this hasnt been made public yet.

Thanks for the reply, Sean.

It turned out this was an X/Y problem, so I don't need a Split event in the end.

Berend, glad you were able to make progress could you clarify what you really needed (which you already had apparently) in place of the requested functionality and how that was a more reasonable solution to your problem?

One of our user stories described a rule where after a split, a certain attribute value of one of the parts should retain its value, whereas that value for all other parts should be set to 0.

I was so focused on the split action, that I didn't think of the more general rule where all new features should have that value set to 0. This can easily be achieved by listening to the RowCreated event.

Is there any update on detecting if a split operation has occurred?

We have submitted a request to provide events to capture split and merge operations.

We want to edit the geometry using split and merge operations and capture these operations to change its attributes.
Since no events are available to capture split and merge operations, the attributes of the edited geometry cannot be updated.
The comments here state that the internal edit names contain a split event, but it is not publicly accessible.
We need these events to capture split and merge operations and have requested them.

The idea for this can be found at the following link: Request for the events to capture the split and me... - Esri Community
