Yeah. That's weird. On my end, using the above code only triggers the rule when the shape changes or the deeded acreage changes. Otherwise, it never fires.

Yes. Chat GPT ended up helping me figure it out! I ultimately came up with the following expression: //Detect changes var geomChanged = !Equals(Geometry($originalFeature), Geometry($feature)); var areaChanged = $originalFeature.StatedArea != $feature.StatedArea; var areaIsZero = $feature.StatedArea == 0; //If the stated area is zero, let user set QAQC_Status Manually if (areaIsZero) { return "Unable to QAQC. New Plat needed. See comments on parcel " } //otherwise, if geom or area changed, run the QAQC test and set accordingly. if (geomChanged || areaChanged) { return iif( Abs($feature.ERROR_ACRES) > ($feature.StatedArea * 0.10), "Acreage mismatch. Deeded acres and calculated acres do not fall within OCGIS tolerance.", "Acreage ok. Deeded acres and calculated acres fall within OCGIS tolerance." ); } I have the triggers set to Insert and Update, and the only update fields are Shape and the Stated Area field so it automatically updates itself should the deeded acreage change. I've been using it for about 3 months now and it has worked without issue!

I've attached them. I ended up figuring out the problem, however. It wasn't picking up the curves because the deed didn't specifically call out whether the turn was to the right or to the left. I went and manually added that information and it began detecting the measurements. It would be nice to get some kind of documentation on what this tool expects in terms of formatting. I've had it fail to recognize several other measurements before due to comma placement. It works great as long as the deed is perfectly formatted. Sadly, a lot of ours are not. Thanks for the reply!

I'm asking specifically about the new COGO reader functionality introduced in 3.5. Unfortuntely this is from 2017 and doesn't address that issue.

For whatever reason it will not read the following " traveling thence along the arc of a curve an arc distance of 40.73 feet, said arc having a radius of 317.07 feet and being subtended by a chord bearing South 31 degrees 26 minutes 30 seconds West a distance of 40.70 feet to a point, traveling thence along the arc of a curve an are distance of 117.82 feet, said arc having a radius of 317.07 feet and being subtended by a chord bearing South 17 degrees 06 minutes 59 seconds West a distance of 117.15 feet to a point" Is it unable to read curves? There doesn't appear to be away to edit it in such a way so that it gets inserted into the traverse unless I am missing something.

Gotcha. I'm on 11.3. Looking forward to upgrading.

Great news. Thank you! Edit: I'm guessing this change isn't in portal yet? I still don't see this option.

‎07-01-2025

Good to know. I will have to give that a shot next time. Thanks for the tip!

This same logic does not apply in dashboards, and it is very annoying. We have a hydrant ID that ranges from 1-4 characters long. If I search for a 1-2 character hydrant ID, no results ever pop up. If I hit enter, then it just takes me to the closest match. Never gives me a list to choose from.

‎06-11-2025

I tried finding this bug log, but nothing showed up. Was any progress ever made? I'm having this same issue in setting up a search for a hydrant ID field.

‎06-06-2025

I set up my collaboration this way without realizing that it would do that. Now I can no longer delete the version of the data that the service was published with as part of our reconciliation and post process. Is this intended or a bug? I don't understand why a replica is needed to make a copy of the layer to arcgis online.

I am working on a dashboard that will keep track of hydrant inspections. I have a few indicators set up that track the number of repairs needed, missing reflectors, etc.... I have set up a date selector, and this filters the data properly whenever I change the date range. Now, I would like to set it up so that when I select a hydrant inspection zone in the map, it shows me the updated statistics for that particular zone. So far, however, I can't get it to work. I have gone to the map settings > Layer Actions > Fire Hydrants and set up the indicator with a spatial filter. But when I select the zone on the map, the count changes to 0, even though there are matching records for the indicator in that zone. What am I missing?

‎05-22-2025

The fact that this extremely basic feature is still not in the default map viewer is mind blowing.

‎05-02-2025

My problem is that I don't have the ability to create a view layer because the data is published as a referenced feature service.

‎05-02-2025

I am pretty new to using Portal, so forgive me if this is a dumb question. I have published our parcel fabric as a referenced feature service. That being said, on occasion, I want to use parcels in other maps without having to worry about the end user being able to edit the data. I would love to be able to create a "View" of the feature service, but that can only be done if it were shared as a copy. So, what is the best workflow here? The only alternative I see is to publish a second copy of the parcel fabric as a copy, but now we have a second version of the layer that does not stay synchronized with the source data, which just adds to the administrative headache on my end. What am I missing here?
