Set Telecom Object Combine Policy (Utility Network Tools)

Summary

Sets the combine policy for grouped junction and edge objects in a telecom domain network to determine how attribute values will be handled during a combine operation.

You can combine grouped junction and edge objects that participate in a telecom domain network as part of the edit request on the applyEdits operation. The edit request contains the ID of the layer containing the features you want to combine along with the global IDs of the grouped features to be combined.

By setting the object combine policy for a grouped object's attribute fields, you can control how the attribute values will be handled when grouped objects are combined: either summing the values of the combined objects or setting the default value in the attribute field for the updated object. By default, when an attribute does not have a defined combine policy, the combine operation will duplicate the current attribute value in the updated object when all objects are from the same object class and have matching attribute values.
