So, today, I see 255, so i will have to be watchful of this next time i enable. So, are you the pe for tracking?
Is this tracking capability a property of ArcGIS, where ArcGIS fully manages the values (like global ID), if so, I should not be able to edit these fields. Currently, I can go back and overwrite the fields calc'd from GIS, in some situations. I should see the columns headings as gray and not white. Also, if I have a domain set for my editor field (which we do), and I add a new polygon, or cut a poly, my field is calculated correctly, but if I try and overwrite the value with my domain, I am able to select my domain, but when I click outside of the actual record, it defaults back to my GIS managed username that was entered after the change. If I do not have a domain set, I have full access to overwrite. Also, speaking of domains, if I add then try and validate features, the validation from the editor drop down, shows invalid features. Is topology validation suppose to change any records, like last edit, currently, it does not?
Basically, I like the idea that I cannot overwrite, so I am keen on setting a domain to limit the editor from overwriting, so will probably do this with CreatorName as well. Is this expected?
