Will Not Be Addressed
The development team has considered the issue or request and concluded it will not be addressed. The issue's Additional Information section may contain further explanation.
Description
If the selection set supplied to the Validate Features function contains a feature with a Null subtype value, Validate Features will return a false positive indicating that all features are valid, even if invalid features are present.
If the features participate in a Geometric Network and Connectivity rules are being validated, Validate Features will return a false positive if any connected features have Null subtypes.
The following types of validation rules are affected: - subtypes - attribute rules - network connectivity rules - relationship rules
Cause
The selection set contains a feature with a Null subtype value. If the features are in a Geometric Network, the connected features with Null subtype values cause Validate Features to return a false positive.
Workaround
Assign a valid subtype value to features with Null subtype values.
