So with attribute rules, I can trigger them on update, but it appears I can't constrain to what specifically is being updated. With a SQL trigger, I can constrain the update to just fire if the geometry is updated...in other words, only fire the what state is this point in trigger if the point is moved. There is a performance hit for firing the spatial trigger if all I'm doing is updating attributes...there is no need to fire the trigger. I'm looking for the same behavior in Pro.....I don't want the attribute rule to fire on attribute updates, I only want it to fire on geometry updates. Is this possible?

That is EXACTLY what I was looking for, and it worked. I now have 1,303,432 questions about attribute rules, but the take home is, I think they're going to solve a lot of our data management problems that arose when we stopped using SQL triggers.

It's been a while since I last looked at Attribute rules, and the last time, the geomerty features weren't really....useful. Now it appears you CAN fire attribute rules based on geometry relationships with other layers! Looking at the example here Attribute Rules: What’s new in ArcGIS Pro 2.3 and ArcGIS Enterprise 10.7 , I see I can do a buffer and intersect spatial query, and Geometry Functions | ArcGIS for Developers shows that within is possible, but just a count of within. What I'm interested in doing is calculating a field of a point based on what polygon it falls in. E.g if point is within the sasquatch territory polygon, the bigfoot field gets "yes", if it falls within the yeti territory polygon, it gets "no". Is this yet possible with Pro and Arcade? I think not? Any examples of this type of attribute rule?

The issue is not licensing. I'm not yet at TS levels on this yet, but if you turn on SDE Intercept and Fiddler, the amount of network traffic generated by Pro compared to ArcMap is on the order 50-100 times more. Even with the license offline. Even had a case that was borderline reproducible confirm the latency, but "borderline" cases never go to development. Stay tuned, my next case on this topic will be reproducible, so help me sasquatch.

This is before we're adding data to the GP Tool UI, so that's not the issue. The issue is getting the UI to even open, it just sits there blue dots scrolling from left to right, regardless of the permission level the user has to the OS. Comparing to ArcMap, we don't see this behavior when opening a GP tool every time we open one.

Yes, what is the deal with opening a GP tool (any one) and it taking 5 minutes to open, regardless of computer hardware.

Yeah I kinda came to that conclusion. So using your projection(s), in the only projection that I know a web (base) map can be in, which is Web Mercator, where the Feature Service i'm editing against is GCS NAD 83, when I do: The json sent to the server is https://domain.com/veg/rest/services/Utilities/Geometry/GeometryServer/project?f=json&outSR=3418&inSR=4326&geometri… Which returns error: {code: 500, message: "Error executing project", details: []}. I've tried a few different EPSG values in if (proj == "LATITUDE (Y) / LONGITUDE (X)" || leftlong == "-"){
var inpoint = new esri.geometry.Point(randx,randy, new esri.SpatialReference(4326));
gsvc = new esri.tasks.GeometryService("https://servername/arcgis/rest/services/Utilities/Geometry/GeometryServer");
var outSR = new esri.SpatialReference(3418);
var trans = 1188; I'm just missing the boat on the RIGHT ones.....

This option is used in ArcMap when we get data that started off as a CAD dataset, and someone (else) "guessed" at what the projection was, and they were clearly wrong, but we have no idea what the CAD was originally "rotated" to. "Having no coordinate system could lead to lots to problems.". There is no disputing that. And I haven't seen any use cases for folks wanting blindly use unprojected data and make bad maps. There are specific technical troubleshooting situations where the functionality is needed. (Also appears to be a duplicate of https://community.esri.com/ideas/14262 )

The use cases are pretty thoroughly discussed in https://community.esri.com/ideas/13080 . Importing a GEOJSON file for one time, static use is not useful and shouldn't even be considered when every other GIS platform supports dynamic GEOJSON end points (QGIS, Leaflet, Mapbox).

In a rare act, I'm going to go with "Already Offered" on this one... If you add the "numbered" layer from a map service, you can export it. Example, add data from path, add URL, use https://domain.com/veg/rest/services/GRSM_EXOTICS/MapServer/0, right click on layer in TOC, Export.... In addition, this also allows you to change the symbology. Note the difference here: I'm not adding the SERVICE, I'm adding a LAYER from the service, even if the service only has one layer. Probably not entire efficient, but making it work the other way I suspect would involve significant changes to the REST API.

So with great difficulty and a renewed hatred of CORS settings, I got your 2.8 version of the widget deployed. Coupla questions though... When I pick "Easting Northing", what coord system is that? Tried UTM 17 NAD 83, definitely not that. When the widget loads, I get a pick list CHOOSE COORDINATE INPUT TYPE Once I pick a choice, I can't pick another one unless I reload the app. Great Widget, this will fill a hole until I can get on 10.7.1
