Hi all,
I've come across a puzzling problem with attribute constraint rules in ArcGIS Pro that I could use some help with.
I set up a rule to keep specific point features inside certain polygons, and it works perfectly during inserts. But when I try to move a feature outside its designated polygon during an update, the rule triggers, I get the error message, but the edit still happens.
Has anyone else faced this issue? Any insights would be greatly appreciated.
Thanks,
Stefan
PS: This is the code i am working with:
// Create a feature set of intersecting StructureBoundaries
var intersectingBoundaries = Intersects(FeatureSetByName($datastore, 'StructureBoundary'), $feature);
// Initialize a boolean variable to track if the point touches any boundary edge
var touchesEdge = false;
// Loop through intersecting StructureBoundaries
for (var boundary in intersectingBoundaries) {
// Check if the point feature touches the edge of the current boundary
if (Touches($feature, boundary)) {
// Set parameter to true if edge is not allowed (device and junction (except wall bushing)) for assembly set on false
touchesEdge = EDGE_PARA;
break; // Exit loop since we found a touching boundary
}
}
// Check if feature intersects a boundary
if(touchesEdge){
return false;
} else if(count(intersectingBoundaries) > 0) {
return true;
} else {
return false;
}
Hello Stefan,
I am unable to reproduce your issue. Using your code I created a polygon feature class called ' StructureBoundary' and point feature class called 'Point'. To the point FC I applied your code as a constraint with insert and update selected for the triggers. The error number as 999 and the Error message as '1234567'
When creating a point inside the StructureBoundary the rule does not fire and the point feature is created. If I try to create a point feature outside the boundary the rule triggers.
When creating a point inside the StructureBoundary then moving that point inside the StructureBoundary the rule does not fire and the point feature is moved to the new location. If I try to move that point to outside the boundary the rule triggers giving an error when I click the 'Finish' on the move toolbar the rule triggers and the moved geometry indicator returns the feature to its original position.
I have attached a recording.

Hi @Jake_S,
Thanks for your help! Seems like I stumbled over a "real" Bug here. The funny thing is: In the Diagnostic Monitor it even shows me that the constraint rule is fired when trying to update the geometry outside of a polygon boundary. However the update still happens.
Very strang behaviour. Anyone experienced something simillar in the past?
Greets,
Stefan
Maybe this is specified to your spatial reference. Can you share your units/spatial reference so we can test @Jake_S repo in your coordinate system? Can you share your repo dataset?
Hi @MikeMillerGIS,
For the coordinate-system. No problem. It's (PCS) Belge Lambert 1972 (WKID: 31370). Regarding the repo dataset I can't really assist you. I am not allowed to share data related to our customer. But I am thinking about a solution 🙂
Thanks!
