When I imported my parcel layer into Fabric in Pro, I imported a standard parcel layer, not a fabric layer. I successfully completed the import and have been working on the errors when I have time. One error that is driving me nuts is the "Parcel Must Have Record" rule. Of course, none of my parcels (since they did not come from a fabric environment) have a record. So, I marked all of these as an exception. As I update and change things based on actual records, I use the record management and create a record. But because I have so many topology errors, when I have a few minutes here and there, I am working on them. Unfortunately, every time I edit anything without a record, it generates this error. I don't want to create a record for general maintenance edits, only for those which actually have a record driving the update. What I would like to do is delete the rule "Parcel Must Have Record". But I can't figure out how to do it. I want to create a record when I want to and when I don't, not worry about it.

Let's say you want to create an expression in another field all together from the provided "created user" field. So I want to capture at edit time the feature creator and evaluate whether that creator is in another table. and return a Boolean result, or maybe even disallow that edit from happening all together.

Is there any way to distinguish between geometry updates and attribute updates in the ArcGIS Pro Attribute Rules?

‎09-11-2019

Thank you Xander. That will work perfect for this particular task. In a case where I would like to access the user information for another field update, is it even possible? Or are we constrained to the list of functions on the Arcade Function Reference | ArcGIS for Developers?

I want to populate a field with user name using attribute rules, but I can't find an arcade function to extract this information.

I had one person suggest right away that I change the projection of the map and publish this way. I have tried this, and it did not work. For some reason the comment disappeared, so I am just adding this comment here. Any other ideas out there???

As the GIS Coordinator for a small county in North Dakota, I pretty much use one coordinate system (North Dakota State Plane South) for everything. It makes things simpler. Now our 911 director has a new notification system that requires we use Web Mercator. I attempted to use the state plane data in a Web Mercator service, but that did not work, so I ended up creating a whole new replica dataset with that projection and and new service and that worked, but maintaining it and keeping it current is driving me crazy. I would like to be able to have one data source in my one projection, and maintain one rest service from it and somehow have it serve up with either Web Mercator or State Plane. Is there any solution out there that will make this possible for me? Or am I stuck with this? I see other organizations with data shares where you can pick your projection. Are they doing something like this?

I just had that problem, and after quite a while, we finally found a solution. Go into the ArcPad modules folder (C:\Program Files (x86)\ArcGIS\ArcPad10.2\Modules) and remove "ArcGISOnline.dll". Then just restart ArcPad. I had to put in the unlock code again, but that's it!

OK. Thanks again Xander. And that makes the point I am making, that Key functionality is missing. When every workflow I attempt to replicate in Pro ends up in disappointment over "not quite ready" technology, it is frustrating -- Especially when all I hear is that it is time we should be migrating that way. I wouldn't be frustrated if I just ignored and stayed on ArcMap, but I am usually an early adopter of technology. I keep making these attempts and investing time into a project and then find out I need to just go back for now. I really do want this to work out, because the things that do work are really cool.

Thanks Marco. I did attempt "Text(Timestamp())" as well. Here is the attribute information:

‎03-02-2018

I understand all that, but there is KEY functionality that is left out that I keep running into. For instance. The attribute assistant. It worked fantastic in ArcGIS Desktop. Now I have to figure out how to use the new Attribute Rules (which has only a limited subset of capabilities) and when I attempt to make some of the simple rules, it errors. See the screenshot below: Notice that the green "expression is valid" displays after I validate. But also notice the red failure notification. The reason for the failure is an invalid expression. HUH? Oh, and also if I add these rules to a feature class they become no longer usable in ArcGIS Desktop. That is just nuts... Why not find a way for "Arcade" to use the dynamic value table that was already created in our databases since they are building the language??? I keep trying to make Pro work, but keep running into road blocks. And I am a very computer savvy person, I can't imagine being the casual GIS user and having to try to navigate these obstacles.

I am still struggling with why ESRI is trying to build a whole new language when other languages exist that can be adapted...

‎03-02-2018

Thanks. It seems funny you say this, because I read this right after trying to find a way to use this arcade code in ArcGIS Desktop. And there appears to be no way. But if had been written in javascript I could have ported it over. They seem to be already abandoning that platform, without having the Pro platform ready for "primetime."

‎02-26-2018

Now that this is solved and I have learned a little bit about "Arcade" and how to use it in labeling, I need to ask the follow on question. What are the reasons someone should use Arcade rather than VB Script, Javascript or Python? There must have been a gap that needed to be filled in order for this newer language to be applied here...????

‎02-26-2018

Solved this! Just so others know if the have same problem, I had to change back to text, and at that point the NaN became a string 'NaN' that I could test for. See below: var x1 = Number(split(x,' ')[0]); var y1 = Number(split(y,' ')[0]); x1 = Text(x1); if(x1 == '0' || x1 == 'NaN') {x1 = NULL;} y1 = Text(y1); if(y1 == '0' || y1 == 'NaN') {y1 = NULL;}
