Update attributes on a point after moving it inside a polygon

I have a feature layer of points representing people and a feature layer of polygons representing areas they are assigned to be in.  I would like to have a web app where a user can move an existing point into a different polygon then have the point update to the name of the new area.  If it's possible I would like the point to be updated by clicking a button that runs a tool that updates by the point's location rather than by having the user type in the information.

I'm having trouble searching for answers to this because all the ones I find relate to doing a spatial join.  But I don't want to create a new feature class.  I need to only update the attributes of the feature in the existing point feature layer.

Thank you.

Steve

Sorry. I have been pulled over to a different project and haven’t had a chance to work on that yet.
