Hello, this is likely an extremely simple question but what would be the best method to reference a parent field automatically when entering data in a child field for a related record.
For instance, we are using field maps to create a map that has a well locations points layer (Parent Field) on it and each well has a history of water levels (Child Field) associated with it via a relationship class. The relationship class is a 1 to 1 using their global IDs. The water levels need to have a "reference point" filled in to enter the data. The reference point is a field on the well location record that will never change.Currently, when entering a new water level, you have to manually enter that reference point, which is a good way to get transcription errors in the field.
What is the best method to automatically populate the reference point field in my water level form? Should I use an Arcade/python script to do it, or is there some other method in Field Maps or ArcGIS Pro itself?
Thanks again for any help!
If you have created a relationship class, publish as a layer, you should be able to add related records directly against the parent.
If you have this set up, you can create a form and use FeatureSet to call upon the related feature field and calculate the field automatically. Examples in here:
Ill give it a shot and get back to you on if that works! Thank you very much!
