Attribute Rule Validation

Since version: 1.5

With the Attribute Rule Validation profile, expressions can be written to evaluate whether or not a feature meets the criteria defined in the expression. This profile is used for validation attribute rules in ArcGIS Pro. The script should return a Boolean with true indicating the feature meets the validation criteria or false indicating it does not meet the criteria.

Context

The following products implement this profile:

Spatial reference

The spatial reference of the expression's data source¹ determines the execution context's spatial reference.

Time zone

The time zone of the expression's data source¹ determines the execution context's default time zone.

Profile variables

Variable Name	Type	Description	Since version
$datastore	FeatureSetCollection	A collection of layers in the same feature service or database as the `$feature` executing the script.	1.5
$feature	Feature	The feature being evaluated for the constraint.	1.5
$featureSet	FeatureSet	A collection of features in the same table as the `$feature` evaluating the expression.	1.13

Example

The following example is a validation rule created on a poles feature class to ensure that when the structureheight is 65 feet or greater, the material must be made of steel. An error feature is generated if this is not true.

Use dark colors for code blocksCopy
if ($feature.structureheight >= 65)
{
    If (DomainName($feature, 'Material') == 'Steel')
    { return true; }
    else
    { return false; }
}
else
{  return true; }

Data source can be a file geodatabase, mobile geodatabase, or mobile service.
