Delete records in an unrelated table and update a domain when a feature is deleted

HanliePetoors — Tue, 09 May 2023 12:18:07 GMT

Hi,

I'm working in Windows 10, ArcGIS Pro 3.1.

I would like to write a attribute rule that does the following:

When a feature is deleted from feature class A:

delete a feature in feature class B (no formal relationship to feature class A)
remove the deleted feature's name from a domain. The domain is used in feature class B.

Is this possible with attribute rules?

Thanks

Hanlie

You can use this as a guide for the delete - https://github.com/Esri/arcade-expressions/blob/master/attribute_rule_calculation/UpdateParentFeature.md

You cannot do a schema change with attribute rules, so you will not be able to update the domain

Hi Mike,
Thanks for your reply.
There are no formal relationships between the feature classes, so it looks like attribute rules are not the right tools for this use case.

The example I sent does not use a formal relationship.
