ArcGIS Pro 3.4 API Reference Guide
ArcGIS.Desktop.Editing Namespace / EditOperation Class / CreateChainedOperation Method
Example Version

CreateChainedOperation Method
Creates a follow-on operation which will be shared with this operation on the application's undo stack.
Syntax
public EditOperation CreateChainedOperation()

Return Value

A newly created EditOperation that will be merged with this one.
Remarks
Call CreateChainedOperation once the parent edit operation is known to have executed successfully.
Example
Edit Operation Duplicate Features
{
  var duplicateFeatures = new EditOperation() { Name = "Duplicate Features" };

  //Duplicate with an X and Y offset of 500 map units
  //At 2.x duplicateFeatures.Duplicate(featureLayer, oid, 500.0, 500.0, 0.0);

  //Execute to execute the operation
  //Must be called within QueuedTask.Run
  var insp2 = new Inspector();
  insp2.Load(featureLayer, oid);
  var geom = insp2["SHAPE"] as Geometry;

  var rtoken = duplicateFeatures.Create(insp2.MapMember, insp2.ToDictionary(a => a.FieldName, a => a.CurrentValue));
  if (!duplicateFeatures.IsEmpty)
  {
    if (duplicateFeatures.Execute())//Execute and ExecuteAsync will return true if the operation was successful and false if not
    {
      var modifyOp = duplicateFeatures.CreateChainedOperation();
      modifyOp.Modify(featureLayer, (long)rtoken.ObjectID, GeometryEngine.Instance.Move(geom, 500.0, 500.0));
      if (!modifyOp.IsEmpty)
      {
        var result = modifyOp.Execute();
      }
    }
  }
}
Edit Operation Chain Edit Operations
//Chaining operations is a special case. Use "Chained Operations" when you require multiple transactions 
//to be undo-able with a single "Undo".

//The most common use case for operation chaining is creating a feature with an attachment. 
//Adding an attachment requires the object id (of a new feature) has already been created. 
var editOperation1 = new EditOperation() { Name = string.Format("Create point in '{0}'", CurrentTemplate.Layer.Name) };

long newFeatureID = -1;
//The Create operation has to execute so we can get an object_id
var token2 = editOperation1.Create(this.CurrentTemplate, polygon);

//Must be within a QueuedTask
editOperation1.Execute(); //Note: Execute and ExecuteAsync will return true if the operation was successful and false if not
if (editOperation1.IsSucceeded)
{
  newFeatureID = (long)token2.ObjectID;
  //Now, because we have the object id, we can add the attachment.  As we are chaining it, adding the attachment 
  //can be undone as part of the "Undo Create" operation. In other words, only one undo operation will show on the 
  //Pro UI and not two.
  var editOperation2 = editOperation1.CreateChainedOperation();
  //Add the attachment using the new feature id
  editOperation2.AddAttachment(this.CurrentTemplate.Layer, newFeatureID, @"C:\data\images\Hydrant.jpg");
  //Execute the chained edit operation. editOperation1 and editOperation2 show up as a single Undo operation
  //on the UI even though we had two transactions
  editOperation2.Execute();
}
Create a new Relationship and New Entities 1
var create_rel1 = await QueuedTask.Run(() =>
{
  //This example uses a chained edit operation
  var edit_op = new EditOperation()
  {
    Name = "Create entities and a relationship",
    SelectNewFeatures = true
  };

  //We are just going to use the GDB objects in this one but
  //we could equally use feature layers/standalone tables

  //using Feature Class/Tables (works within Investigation or map)
  var org_fc = kg.OpenDataset<FeatureClass>("Organization");
  var person_tbl = kg.OpenDataset<Table>("Person");
  //Relationship table
  var emp_tbl = kg.OpenDataset<Table>("HasEmployee");

  var attribs = new Dictionary<string, object>();

  //New Organization
  attribs["Name"] = "Acme Ltd.";
  attribs["Description"] = "Specializes in household items";
  attribs["SHAPE"] = org_location;

  //Add it to the operation - we need the rowtoken
  var rowtoken = edit_op.Create(org_fc, attribs);

  attribs.Clear();//we are going to re-use the dictionary

  //New Person
  attribs["Name"] = "Bob";
  attribs["Age"] = "41";
  attribs["Skills"] = "Plumbing, Framing, Flooring";

  //Add it to the operation
  var rowtoken2 = edit_op.Create(person_tbl, attribs);

  attribs.Clear();

  //At this point we must execute the create of the entities
  if (edit_op.Execute())
  {
    //if we are here, the create of the entities was successful

    //Next, "chain" a second create for the relationship - this ensures that
    //Both creates (entities _and_ relation) will be -undone- together if needed
    //....in other words they will behave as if they are a -single- transaction
    var edit_op_rel = edit_op.CreateChainedOperation();

    //we need the names of the origin and destination relation properties
    var kg_prop_info = kg.GetPropertyNameInfo();

    attribs[kg_prop_info.OriginIDPropertyName] = rowtoken.GlobalID;
    attribs[kg_prop_info.DestinationIDPropertyName] = rowtoken2.GlobalID;

    //Add any extra attribute information for the relation as needed
    attribs["StartDate"] = new DateTimeOffset(DateTime.Now);
