Attribute rules<\/a> are authored using the Arcade scripting<\/a> language. They are deployed to the geodatabase, optionally published to ArcGIS Enterprise and can be consumed by various client applications. However attribute rules are not static; You might want to change them as you find issues with expressions you’ve authored, want to introduce a new feature to your script, enable new editing triggers, or simply add more verbose descriptions.<\/p>\n

When managing large number of attribute rules across multiple classes in your geodatabase it can become challenging to deploy fixes or updates to the attribute rules.\u00a0 In this short blog I describe how you can automate attribute rules deployments using Python when making changes to Arcade expressions.<\/p>\n"},{"acf_fc_layout":"content","content":"

Attribute rules are part of the geodatabase schema, just like fields, subtypes, domains etc. This means when attempting to update an attribute rule in a table, you will need to make sure the table is not opened by other applications or services. Stopping all services and applications using that table will release any shared lock that has been acquired and allow attribute rules to be changed (by acquiring an exclusive lock). Locks<\/a> are a common practice in the geodatabase to maintain the consistency and integrity of the data definition in the geodatabase model. Attribute rules can be updated from the grid view in ArcGIS Pro, GP tools, or Python.<\/p>\n"},{"acf_fc_layout":"image","image":{"ID":1516652,"id":1516652,"title":"The attribute rules grid view","filename":"b1.png","filesize":8284,"url":"https:\/\/www.esri.com\/arcgis-blog\/app\/uploads\/2022\/03\/b1.png","link":"https:\/\/www.esri.com\/arcgis-blog\/products\/api-python\/data-management\/automate-attribute-rules-deployment\/b1-2","alt":"The attribute rules grid view","author":"7511","description":"The attribute rules grid view","caption":"The attribute rules grid view","name":"b1-2","status":"inherit","uploaded_to":1516582,"date":"2022-03-17 22:45:39","modified":"2022-03-18 15:48:03","menu_order":0,"mime_type":"image\/png","type":"image","subtype":"png","icon":"https:\/\/www.esri.com\/arcgis-blog\/wp-includes\/images\/media\/default.png","width":588,"height":276,"sizes":{"thumbnail":"https:\/\/www.esri.com\/arcgis-blog\/app\/uploads\/2022\/03\/b1-213x200.png","thumbnail-width":213,"thumbnail-height":200,"medium":"https:\/\/www.esri.com\/arcgis-blog\/app\/uploads\/2022\/03\/b1.png","medium-width":464,"medium-height":218,"medium_large":"https:\/\/www.esri.com\/arcgis-blog\/app\/uploads\/2022\/03\/b1.png","medium_large-width":588,"medium_large-height":276,"large":"https:\/\/www.esri.com\/arcgis-blog\/app\/uploads\/2022\/03\/b1.png","large-width":588,"large-height":276,"1536x1536":"https:\/\/www.esri.com\/arcgis-blog\/app\/uploads\/2022\/03\/b1.png","1536x1536-width":588,"1536x1536-height":276,"2048x2048":"https:\/\/www.esri.com\/arcgis-blog\/app\/uploads\/2022\/03\/b1.png","2048x2048-width":588,"2048x2048-height":276,"card_image":"https:\/\/www.esri.com\/arcgis-blog\/app\/uploads\/2022\/03\/b1.png","card_image-width":588,"card_image-height":276,"wide_image":"https:\/\/www.esri.com\/arcgis-blog\/app\/uploads\/2022\/03\/b1.png","wide_image-width":588,"wide_image-height":276}},"image_position":"center","orientation":"horizontal","hyperlink":""},{"acf_fc_layout":"image","image":{"ID":1516632,"id":1516632,"title":"Attribute rules gp toolbox","filename":"b3.png","filesize":7052,"url":"https:\/\/www.esri.com\/arcgis-blog\/app\/uploads\/2022\/03\/b3.png","link":"https:\/\/www.esri.com\/arcgis-blog\/products\/api-python\/data-management\/automate-attribute-rules-deployment\/b3-5","alt":"Attribute rules gp toolbox","author":"7511","description":"Attribute rules gp toolbox","caption":"Attribute rules gp toolbox","name":"b3-5","status":"inherit","uploaded_to":1516582,"date":"2022-03-17 22:45:32","modified":"2022-03-18 15:48:17","menu_order":0,"mime_type":"image\/png","type":"image","subtype":"png","icon":"https:\/\/www.esri.com\/arcgis-blog\/wp-includes\/images\/media\/default.png","width":297,"height":451,"sizes":{"thumbnail":"https:\/\/www.esri.com\/arcgis-blog\/app\/uploads\/2022\/03\/b3-213x200.png","thumbnail-width":213,"thumbnail-height":200,"medium":"https:\/\/www.esri.com\/arcgis-blog\/app\/uploads\/2022\/03\/b3.png","medium-width":172,"medium-height":261,"medium_large":"https:\/\/www.esri.com\/arcgis-blog\/app\/uploads\/2022\/03\/b3.png","medium_large-width":297,"medium_large-height":451,"large":"https:\/\/www.esri.com\/arcgis-blog\/app\/uploads\/2022\/03\/b3.png","large-width":297,"large-height":451,"1536x1536":"https:\/\/www.esri.com\/arcgis-blog\/app\/uploads\/2022\/03\/b3.png","1536x1536-width":297,"1536x1536-height":451,"2048x2048":"https:\/\/www.esri.com\/arcgis-blog\/app\/uploads\/2022\/03\/b3.png","2048x2048-width":297,"2048x2048-height":451,"card_image":"https:\/\/www.esri.com\/arcgis-blog\/app\/uploads\/2022\/03\/b3.png","card_image-width":297,"card_image-height":451,"wide_image":"https:\/\/www.esri.com\/arcgis-blog\/app\/uploads\/2022\/03\/b3.png","wide_image-width":297,"wide_image-height":451}},"image_position":"center","orientation":"horizontal","hyperlink":""},{"acf_fc_layout":"content","content":"
