Additional Information

This is working as expected when working with immediate calculation attribute rules with Field Maps. In this particular case, the calculation is being run local to Field Maps first and then again after getting submitted to the server, hence why the value increments by 2's. Please refer to the workarounds for recommendations to avoid this behavior from happening.

Workaround

  1. Enable `Exclude from Application Evaluation` in ArcGIS Pro. This will prevent the expression from running locally in Field Maps and then again after submitting to the server.
  2. Modify the Arcade expression for the attribute rule to ONLY calculate a new value when the current field value is null. If non-null, don't calculate another value.
