I am testing two calculation attribute rules. They are almost exactly the same... the only difference is an if statement that evaluates at the beginning. Both are update triggers. In one rule, which uses $originalFeature and detects changes in geometry, it works as intended. In the second, which uses $originalFeature and detects a change in an attribute, it does not work. The part that apparently does not work is the 'edit' with attribute updates to other features in the same feature class.
After some debugging, I've found that what I'm passing to 'updates' is a correctly formatted dictionary. I can't find anything in the code that indicates why it would not work for this rule, but it works fine for the other. I've tried many ways to isolate the issue, but have come up empty. Commented code below.
var new_parent_property_id = $feature.ParentPropertyID
var old_parent_property_id = $originalfeature.ParentPropertyID
//see if the parent property id has changed
if (new_parent_property_id != old_parent_property_id) {
//Creates empty array and counter for iterating
var updates = []
var counter = 0
var gid = $feature.GlobalId
//use this filter statement to get all of the records with same parent prop id for the SUM.
var sumfs = Filter($featureset, "ParentPropertyID = @new_parent_property_id")
var newacres = Sum(sumfs, "GIS_TractAcres")
// use this filter statement to exclude the edited record, so that the 'updates' doesn't kick back a cyclical error.
var fs = Filter($featureset, "ParentPropertyID = @new_parent_property_id AND GlobalId <> @gid")
// iterate records and make 'updates' dictionary
for (var f in fs){
updates[counter] = {
'globalID': f.GlobalId,
'attributes':{
'GIS_PropertyAcres': newacres,
}
}
counter++
}
// return a 'result' for the edited record. use 'edit' to modify the attributes of the other features in the table with the same parent prop id.
return {
'result': {
"attributes": {
"GIS_PropertyAcres": newacres,
"longtext":Text(updates)
}
},
// ~~~ This is the part that is apparently not working in this rule. ~~~
'edit': [{
'className': 'Arcade_Rules_Test',
'updates': updates
}]
}
} else {
return "Parent Prop ID didn't change."
}
