Hi all,
I am trying to come up with a code to auto-generate ID code using the calculated field in fieldmap designer/form. The ID should have the format "Alpha Code_Year_Serial Number". The serial number will restart every year. I was able to accomplish this by adding three different fields and combining them in ID with this code:
Concatenate([$feature.AlphaCode, Text($feature.YearID), Text($feature.SerNum)], '_')
However, I really want to make it a single field thing where I can just calculate it within "NestID" only (without the need to create YearID and Serial number field). I have attempted with the code below, I have tested each part individually and I am stuck with the concatenate function doesn't seem to work.
var timestam = Today()
var currentyear = Text(timestam, 'YY')
var currentFeature = $feature["NestID"]
if (IsEmpty(currentFeature)) {
var features = FeatureSetByName($map,'Nest Location', ['NestID','YearID', 'AlphaCode', 'SurveyDate'], true);
var Year = Text($feature["SurveyDate"], 'YY')
var features2024 = Filter(features, 'YearID = @currentyear')
var countOfFeatures = Count(features2024);
if(countOfFeatures == 0) {
return Concatenate([$feature.AlphaCode, Text($feature.YearID), Text($feature.SerNum)], '_')
}
else
{
return Concatenate([$feature.AlphaCode, Text($feature.YearID), Text($feature.SerNum)], '_')
}
}
else
return $feature["NestID"]
When I hit the test, it ran fine showing me a result (first ID that already existed in my database). However, when I tested it in the field map, none of the text would show up after I filled in the survey date and Alpha Code(only showing "__"). I wonder if anyone can find bugs in the code. Thank you in advanced!
