Attribute Rule Update Trigger Preventing Field Updates Due to Association Status

[GIS_Ozzy]

Hello everyone,

I’m encountering an issue with an Attribute Rule that is designed to establish a containment relationship when a feature is inserted into the main.StructureBoundary layer. The rule works perfectly for establishing the container and content relationships upon feature insertion.

However, when I enable the update trigger, I face a problem. If I try to update an attribute of a feature that already has an association, the update trigger attempts to re-establish the existing association, leading to the error: "association status already exists."

In some cases, I need to update attributes of features that already have an established association. I would like to be able to do this without disabling the update trigger.

Current Rule

var sjFeatureSet = FeatureSetByName($datastore, "main.StructureBoundary", ["objectid"] ,false)
// Asset Group 53 (StructureBoundary T_HUCRE Subtypes Code)
// Asset Type 190-191-192 (StructureBoundary T_HUCRE Domain Code)
var T_HUCRE_FeatureSet = Filter(sjFeatureSet, "ASSETGROUP in (53) AND ASSETTYPE in (190,191,192)")
//buffer
var g = buffer($feature, 0)

var intersected_T_HUCRE = Intersects(T_HUCRE_FeatureSet,g)

if (count(intersected_T_HUCRE) == 0)
return $feature.KuralAciklama;

var pole = first(intersected_T_HUCRE)

return {
"edit":
[
{
"className": "main.StructureBoundary",

"updates":
[
{
"objectID": pole.objectid,
"associationType": 'container'
}
]
}
]
}

My Goal:

• Keep the update trigger enabled.
• Allow attribute updates without triggering the "association status already exists" error.
• Only attempt to establish a new containment relationship if one does not already exist.

Has anyone encountered a similar issue, or could suggest how I can modify the rule to avoid this problem?

Thank you in advance!

Not sure why the update trigger needs to be enabled for this rule but you could just exit early if $feature already has an association. It depends on your particular scenario and what other associations could exist, but it would look something like this

if ($editcontext.editType == "UPDATE"){
    var assoc = FeatureSetByAssociation($feature, "container")
    if (Count(assoc) > 0) return
}
