I recently began working with the add laterals at connections tool in the water utility network editing toolbar. The documentation indicated that by leaving the <EditTemplate> value blank a user would be presented with a selection of which template to use. I applied this to the start point of the lateral where it joins the main. In some cases the fitting is a Tee and some times its a Tap. I wanted to apply this further by creating a feature template for a Tee in the fittings layer that uses the Add a point and split an intersecting line.
On its own this feature template works perfectly splitting the main where the Tee is placed. However when I select that feature template while running the Add Laterals at Connection tool from the Water Utility Network Editing Toolbar it places the Tee and fails to split the main. Has anyone been able to have the lateral creation also split the main for hydrant laterals and larger service connections?

Apparently there is a new variable in the config that will address this in the February release.
