Attribute Rules and Attribute Assistant

[BrianBulla]

Hi,

So with ArcMap we are using Attribute Assistant.  If we configure Attribute Rules for users that are using ArcGIS Pro, will that cause issues with ArcMap users using the Assistant??

Or in a mixed desktop environment, can you only have one or the other??

Thanks,

Brian, if you create attribute rules on datasets in Pro, ArcMap will no longer be able to open those datasets.

Thanks Kory.

Hi Kory,

What options do we have then if we want to run a mixed environment?  With ArcMap we used to use a Feature Class extension to track edits on the fly.  Is there such an option with ArcGIS Pro so we wouldn't have to use the Attribute Rules?

We are in a situation where we need to disable Editor Tracking on the database, so need a way to replace that as well as enforce some edit/create rules on the data.

See this thread for details:  https://community.esri.com/thread/231699-disabling-editor-tracking-options

One further clarification...If your feature class is in a dataset and you add an Attribute rule to that feature, no features from that entire dataset can be added to your ArcMap file at all...ArcMap fails to work.
