@pLeBlanc93 new rule

pLeBlanc93 commented 7 years ago

When accessing properties, check the field length and truncate. EG my field has length 15 and the title is 25 characters. Only grab the first 15 instead of returning edit error.

Also restrict field type to string only.

VERSION option stores the SDE version you are currently working in

VERSION for FileGeoDatbase uses the value of FGDB

Right now, the field name is the field to monitor, the first argument is the field to store the info in, does it make sense to move the first argument to the field name and not have a field to monitor? This would be more consistent with other rules.

Personally, I think the more consistent we can make the rules the better. Making the field name the field to update makes alo of sense.

That being said I also like having the update capability to check changes on a specific field. would it be possible to do something like this?

Table Name: Table or Feature Class to monitor Field Name: Field to Store Value in Value Method: MAP_INFO Value Info: Value to Store(options:AUTHOR, TITLE, NAME, PATH, VERSION)| Field to monitor to limit rule to only when field changed, if field is blank, rule is always triggered (optional)

multiple methods use field name as the triggering field:

Well, since we are not consistent, leave as is?
