networkAttributeOperator (Read Only)	The type of operator used for the propagation—for example, is equal to or is less than.	String
substitutionAttributeName (Read Only)	The network attribute used for substitution.	String

Utility network propagators properties example (stand-alone script)

This stand-alone Python script prints a report of some utility network properties.

# Import required modules
import arcpy

# Describe functions on a Utility Network
UN = "C:\\Projects\\MyProject\\unowner.sde\\Naperville.UNOWNER.Naperville\\Naperville.UNOWNER.Naperville" 
d = arcpy.Describe(UN)

# Domain Network properties
domnets = d.domainNetworks

# For each domain network in the utility network
for dom in domnets:
    print(f"Domain Network Name: {dom.domainNetworkName}")
    
    # For each tier in the domain network
    for tier in dom.tiers:
        print(f"Tier Name: {tier.name}")
                
        # Update Subnetwork Trace Configuration Properties

        print(" - Propagator Properties - ")
        for p in ust.propagators:
