Apply attribute rules on multiple feature classes

SachinChand — Tue, 30 Aug 2022 15:45:07 GMT

I currently work with ArcMap and Attribute Assistant. Looking at Pro and Attribute Rules, is there a way to apply a rule to all feature classes in a map? Or does each rule have to be applied individually to each feature class?

For example, in attribute assistant, I could use the asterisk symbol in the TABLENAME field of the dynamic value table to apply a rule to all feature classes. How would I do that in attribute rules?

@SachinChand there is not an integrated way to apply attribute rules to multiple feature classes in the way you describe.

There are two options that may or may not be useful to you. Both require a rule to be applied to a feature class and then exported as a CSV, once you have that you can either:

1. Use model builder to iterate over features of a workspace to apply the Attribute Rule

2. use python to do the same thing iterating over a list of features.
