I have an idea for a new tool to assist with data cleanup/validation. It doesn't necessarily have to be a new tool, it could be an added functionality or check-box parameter within the "build parcel fabric" geoprocess. Given the default attribute rule MUST HAVE RECORD creating a need for all data to have "created by record" field populated, as we compile or convert parcel fabrics, we typically go out of our way to bind all polygons to record polygons, by building records for subdivision polygons, but it's rather challenging to get all lines associated with records, especially lines that are along the boundary between two record polygons, hence the reason why such a tool idea may have its own challenges.
The suggestion would be to use record polygons and find points, lines and/or polygons of all types that are NULL and populate the "created by record" field with the GUID of the intersecting record polygon, as a quick fix means of getting all data within compliance of the "MUST HAVE RECORD" attribute rule.
We see a need for this, not just with conversions, but also in live parcel fabric editing, where users tend to create data outside of active records, if they are not careful, and this would aim to be a useful tool for keeping errors from emerging off of data validations of attribute rules.
(please delete this, I meant to create it in "parcel fabric ideas")
