Quickly Disable and Enable attribute rules without altering the rule

TLDR: It is a bug that is fixed exposing incorrectly written scripts. 

On March 8th 2023 Dev Summit Plenary my colleague Anne Fitz and I delivered a talk on the power of Arcade language. I did an attribute rules demo where I showed how you can service water to homes with a single click which creates all laterals, fittings and services to the homes and update the attributes accordingly. 

Many of you requested the script so I'm putting this together this quick post to share it. My colleague Mike Miller is the original author of the base script that I took and extended. The script can be found here along side rich collection of examples in this repo.

Editing snapping with Attribute rules

This property has caused lots of questioning in the attribute rules community and I thought its about the time I write a post on it.

I noticed that lots of customers hand-roll the where clause filter predict manually specially when looking up a set of values. This blog help introduce some tips that make your Arcade more readable and cleaner.
