Many utility assets (like transmission lines, pipelines, or telecom) are modeled as multipart geometries to represent a single logical feature across multiple segments. Today, the Create Feature Locator tool excludes multipart features entirely. The only workaround is to split them into singleparts, which breaks the logical asset model. Splitting geometries creates duplicate LocationIDs (search field), meaning end users searching for one asset see multiple “addresses” for the same thing. This confuses users, reduces trust in the system, and creates unnecessary noise in results.

So, the purpose of this enhancement is that we can use Create Feature Locator tool to support multipart features without excluding them, so that I can maintain the logical integrity of assets, avoid duplicate LocationIDs, and deliver a clean search experience to end users.

@GeeteshSingh07 How is the locator used that you have created with the Create Feature Locator tool? Is it used as a service in a web application? Is using a feature service to search against an option for your workflow? There is the option of configuring your utility assets for search in the project, then publishing the map as a web map and using the feature services for search in the web map.
