Attribute Rule for editor tracking?

JessicaEdberg — Fri, 29 Jan 2021 06:34:33 GMT

I need help to create an attribute rule that can write the value of now() in an attribute field called Attribute_changed when an attribute is changed for an object, and write the value of now() in an attribute field called Geometry_changed if the geometry of an object is changed. I dont think this is possible to specify when I'm useing Editor Tracking in the geodatabas so I want to try use attribute rules. Is it possible to do this with attribute rules and do anybody know how?

I use ArcGIS Pro 2.6.3.

Sincerely Jessica

For now, you'll have to define two rules for that, according to this post , they can be combined into one rule in ArcGIS Pro 2.7.

// Rule: TrackAttributeEdits // Field: AttributeChanged // Triggers: Insert, Update // new entry if(IsEmpty($originalfeature["AttributeChanged"])) { return Now() } // define the checked attributes as [ [old, new] ] // do not put things like Shape, AttributeChanged, GeometryChanged or editor tracking fields here! var monitored_attributes = [ [$originalfeature["Attribute1"], $feature["Attribute1"]], [$originalfeature["Attribute2"], $feature["Attribute2"]], ] // check those attributes, return Now() at the first changed one for(var a in monitored_attributes) { var old_att = monitored_attributes[a][0] var new_att = monitored_attributes[a][1] if(old_att != new_att) { return Now() } } // nothing changed return $feature["AttributeChanged"]

// Rule: TrackGeometryEdits // Field: GeometryChanged // Triggers: Insert, Update // new entry if(IsEmpty(Geometry($originalfeature))) { return Now() } // compare geometries var old_geo = Geometry($originalfeature) var new_geo = Geometry($feature) if(!Equals(old_geo, new_geo)) { return Now() } // nothing changed return $feature["GeometryChanged"]
