Workaround

Create attribute rules for both features involved instead of only one. For the second feature, apply a rule similar to the following:

var all_devices = FeatureSetByName($datastore, "WaterDevice", ["globalid", "textvalue"], true)

var devices = First(Intersects($feature, all_devices))

if (!IsEmpty(devices) && IsEmpty($feature.pointvalue)) {

  return devices['textvalue']

} else {

  return $feature.pointvalue

}

The expression 'return $feature.pointvalue' triggers both layers to sync during the initial attempt instead of requiring an edit.
