I cannot seem to get the nearest feature working through my dynamic value table.

Using the Sign Inventory Deployment I want to Auto Apply the Nearest Pole FACILITYID to a field in my sign Inventory called Pole_ID

Seems simple enough but I get no results, other more basic rules are working like AutoNumber and X_Coordinate etc.

I have attached a shot of my current DynamicValues table

Any thoughts?

I think you need to add third parameter, the search distance.  By default, the search distance is 0.

Also,activating the log file can provide some insight what is going on.

I also had the same problem and tried it with a search distance. AA still doesn't populate the field. 

From the log file, it looks like that AA successfully ran the rule.

Any other suggestions that you can think of? Does being in a geometric network give it any issues or are there any known bugs?

What version of the AA are you running.  I am not seeing some of the messaging I added to the log in some of the more recent versions.

Could you upgrade to the most recent version or even try a preview build of the next release? There has been some enhancements to this rule since 3.2017

I'll give it a shot and let you know the results. Thank you!

I updated to the latest version with the same results (the field not updating). You also may notice the distance is set to 10 in the image below. I also tried it at 100 with no result. I just happened to capture the image with "10" shown.

I ended up creating a new gdb, copied the dataset and removed the geometric network and it worked. You can see the difference in the log files as well. Have you had any feedback regarding the geometric network and any conflicts it may have with the AA?

Nothing stands out.  can you email a small gdb that I can test for a repo.
