Use gdbVersion to Return the Current Version Being Edited in Attribute Rules

Learn how to use the gdbVersion Arcade function in ArcGIS Pro 2.7 to create an attribute rule that can perform logic based on the connected version.

The GdbVersion doesn't seem to work with a text field. I'm using ArcGIS Pro 3.3.3

The "G" is uppercase compared to the video tutorial: GdbVersion($feature)

In any case, I've tried all case combinations. With only 2 lines of code, I cannot get it working.

var CurVersion = GdbVersion($feature)
return CurVersion

Result of above on field calculate (for a simple text field of 16 characters) for a versioned layer in a Utility Network:

ERROR 999999: Something unexpected caused the tool to fail. Contact Esri Technical Support (http://esriurl.com/support) to Report a Bug, and refer to the error help for potential solutions or workarounds.

Message: Unable to complete operation.

Details: Unable to perform applyEdits operation.

Error: Invalid column value [UT_GISID].

Failed to execute (CalculateField).

Is there a bug with 3.3.3 or is the documentation wrong?

Nevermind, I realized the output was too large for my target field.

This solved it: Left(GdbVersion($feature), 16)
