Can we make an attribute have a function for calculating geometry? Re-Calculating the Acres field after an edit can lead to data trust issues. Many people assume that editing the shape of a polygon will automatically update the added Acres field like the SHAPE_Length and SHAPE_Area fileds. Having the ability to add a live function to the definition of an attribute would decrease the error of forgetting to go back and re-calculate an Acres field.
I would love to hear how others have solved this issue with GDB design, Domains or workflows. I was hopeful that the Data Engineering tool would help but I am not seeing it.
The ability to have a column function has been part of Excel and should be available in ArcGIS PRO too.
