Hey,

Is it possible to automatically transfer an attribute value from a line to a component when attaching the line to the component using an attribute rule?

Kind regards

Yes - you can do this using an intersection of the two features

It really depends on how you are doing it, but you can use a dictionary to make the final field/fields update:

So something like this:

//first get the intersecting grid
var gridNo = FeatureSetByName($datastore, "LAND_Grid", ["GRIDNO"], false);
var intersectingGrid = first(intersects(gridNo, $feature));

var seqNo = NextSequenceValue("SeqManholes");

var depotArea = FeatureSetByName($datastore, "LAND_DepotArea", ["DEPOTAREA"], false);
var  intersectingDepot = first(intersects(depotArea, $feature));

return{
      "result" : {
         "attributes" : {               
               "FACILITYID" : "MH-" + intersectingGrid.GRIDNO + "-" + seqNo,               
               "DEPOTAREA" : intersectingDepot.DEPOTAREA,                              
                        }
                 }
      }

I would say "Yes", but depending on what you are doing will determine the best way to do it.  For me, I have the rule on the point feature, and I take an attribute from the intersecting feature (a polygon) and get the  attribute value from the polygon this way.....then just add it to the point.

var depotArea = FeatureSetByName($datastore, "LAND_DepotArea", ["DEPOTAREA"], false);
var  intersectingDepot = first(intersects(depotArea, $feature));

 

This will add the value of the depotArea field to the feature.  This triggers when the feature is created.

Thank you very much for the answers.

I have adjusted the expression for my purpose. However, it does not fill the field or update it. How can I update the value or should it update automatically?

Here is my intention:

The address point has the attribute field called "Wohneinheiten". When connecting a cable to this address point, the value from "Wohneinheiten" should be overwritten into the attribute field called "Info" in the cable. How can this value be updated?

                 }
      }

Where can I find the geometry of the cable and the address point? Do I need to create a geometry field for each respective feature, or is the geometry stored somewhere else? If I do need to create a geometry field, what field type should I use for it?

Kind regards
