I'm using the Attribute Assistant add on to try to achieve this task. Is there an expression that I could write in the DynamicValue table so that the tool looks at the subtype field of a feature class and then determines which Sequence that it needs to use?
For example, I'm working with a dummy valve feature class where there are two subtypes : 3 and 6.
The largest Subtype 3 valve ID number is 0107910, and the largest Subtype 6 valve ID is 1702300. How can I get the tool to update these two ID numbers independently but within the same feature class?
Austin, are you looking to update the ID so that when, for example, Subtype 3 gets an sequence and Subtype 6 gets its own sequence in the same features ID attribute?
I think if you create individual rows in yourGenerate ID table for each, you should be able to. ( Configure GenerateID table - Attribute Assistant | ArcGIS Solutions ) However, your use of an ID with a leading zero ( 0107910) may be problematic for you.
Hi Austin, We just ran across a similar thing on a support case and i wanted to share this as it might help.
Attached is working sample and proof of concept to assist in your own workflows.

We know a Generate ID method can only have one count per field, Given this, this example uses a Sub-type field, and 3 Separate Id fields each with their own Generate ID Methods. The Sybtype filed is responsible for setting the attribute (1,2,3) in The Sybtype. A series of Field Trigger reads the Subtype value and adds a place holder value in the opposing ID fields. The Generate ID running on each ID field will only activate on the Null record and thus count each subtype independently.
