Updating a list and contingent values when a new feature is made

Good Afternoon,

I am trying to create a way to update a point layer contingent values that reflect a newly made line feature. 

For example, I have a trail line feature, within a unit and has a unique name. I also have a point layer where points are named based on the trail it is associated to. To reduce errors, the new points use contingent values based on the unit the user is in to determine which trail it is associated and to properly give the point the correct ID. 

Now the issue is sometimes we need to add trails which means that the contingent values need to be updated. I was thinking of solving this in a similar fashion that the species update form in the Tree Management Solutions but embedding both form and notebook on a dashboard because it needs to be updated from the field.

However, it still requires the user to create the new line feature, name it in field maps and assign the unit and then go over to the dashboard and reenter the information, is there an easier way to accomplish this?

Edit: Second idea - Have notebook to pull the fields from the Trail layer itself to populate the list, just haven't played with the code yet, makes one less step at least

Hi Amy, you could use Arcade to pull the trail name/information into your point layer, then even if it’s a new trail name, it would always be up to date because you wouldn’t need to update your contingent values. You would need to create the new line feature for your trail, if it is a new trail, otherwise, if it's just a name change, you can just open an exiting point or add a new point and the trail name would populate for you.
