Attribute Assistant error HRESTULT E_FAIL

JerryCorum1 — Wed, 25 Nov 2015 21:09:54 GMT

I am using the Attribute Assistant with ArcGIS for
Desktop 10.2.2 to help with some workflows for our Data and Maps team. We have had some of the changes go very
smoothly, but are encountering an error with a manual rule using the LINK_TABLE_ASSET
method to snag a value from a table and bring it into the feature class. We get an error message in a
ESRI.ArcGIS.Editor message box:

Steps to reproduce:

Make a geodatabase and copy the DynamicValue
table to it with its domains
Create a new point or polygon feature class and
add an text field
Create a new table and add a text field to copy
from
Create a rule in the DynamicValue table
1. Table
  Name is the name of the point or polygon feature class
2. Field
  Name is the field in that feature class you want the value from the table to be
  stored in
3. Set
  Value Method to LINK_TABLE_ASSET
4. Value
  infor should be [Table Name]|[Field Name] – referring to the table you are
  copying data from, and the specific field you want to copy from.
Save everything
Create a new point or polygon
Open the table and select the line
Click the Run Manual Rules button on the
Attribute Assistant toolbar
Say no when it asks if you want to run the rule
on the selected features.
Try to run it again. Even if you select a different feature, or
clear the selecting and select a different feature, the error will appear.

Workaround:

It originally seemed impossible to get past the error without restarting ArcMap, however, you can clear the selection and run
the manual rule again (it will say that nothing is selected), then select the
features you need to link and run the manual rules again, it works.

Has anyone seen this before? Is this an issue with our use of the rule, or
the method itself? I think it’s a bug
with the way selecting “No” is handled by the Attribute Assistant but I hate
assuming that.

Hi Jerry,

It looks like this issue (or something similar) may be documented as a bug.

BUG-000089019 - When running the ?Run Manual Change rules for sele..

Can you confirm which version of Attribute Assistant you have installed? This should be available from the Add-in Manager window.

Hi Christian,

It looks like the version number in the Add-in Manager window is 6.26.2015. Is there reallya hotfix for it?

Hi Jerry,

If possible, can you log a support ticket so we can attach you to this bug?

Also, I found that the current master branch of the Attribute Assistant add-in doesn't seem to encounter the same issue. However, in order to use this you would need the following:

ArcGIS 10.2 SDK
.Net 4.0
Visual Studio 2010 or greater
