I am trying to generate unique ids with the Attribute Assistant in ArcMap 10.6 for several features in our water and waste water system. I was able to successfully do this with features that did not contain any subtypes; not so much with features that did have Subtypes. I have not been receiving any error messages but I also am not seeing anything appear in the AssetID field. For the example below I am trying to generate unique id for the feature wControlValve
GenerateID table
Sequence Name: wControlValveID
Sequence Counter: 95
Interval Value: 1
Dynamic Value Table
Table name: wControlValve|*
Field Name: Asset_ID
Value Method: GENERATE_ID
ValueInfo: wContralValveID|{1}|[SEQ]|True
On Create: True
any help would be greatly appreciated
I've never used that add-in unfortunately, but perhaps can replicate the output in field calculator?
What do you want the unique ID to be formed of/look like?
For the moment they just need to be super basic. Start at 1 and go up from there. The type of field i am trying to add numbers to is a long integer.
This should do the job - How To: Create sequential numbers in a field using Python in the Field Calculator (esri.com)
Go to the attribute table of your feature class/shapefile, right-click on the field header and go to Field Calculator. The link details the rest.
I saw that earlier, which would work for the initial work flow but i wanted a way to have the id automatically added when a new asset is created.
Sorry should have been more specific.
