All rows are being overwritten with last features value using arcpy.da.UpdateCursor

Question

I am trying to populate fields based on objects. When trying to use Update Cursor it overwrites all of the row values with information from the last feature read. I am sure that I am meant to get it to iterate and move to the next feature, but I am stuck, next(cursor) stops the script entirely.

Answer 1

Thanks to Vince, suggesting to do insert I was able to get the result I need to create the rows with geometry I had to insert the geometry with the rest of the fields, see below:

sr = arcpy.SpatialReference(4326)
##Type = "JP2"
rasters = arcpy.ListFiles("*.ecw")
shp = os.path.basename(folder) + ".shp"
base = os.path.basename(folder)

print shp

fc = feature_wgs84 = arcpy.CreateFeatureclass_management ("c:/test",shp, "POLYGON", "", "DISABLED", "DISABLED", sr)
arcpy.AddField_management(feature_wgs84, "RasterName", "TEXT")
arcpy.AddField_management(feature_wgs84, "Projection", "TEXT")
arcpy.AddField_management(feature_wgs84, "FILENAME", "TEXT")
for raster in rasters:
    
    # Get properties for the specified raster dataset
    propsInRaster = arcpy.Describe(raster)
    SR = propsInRaster.spatialReference
    FileLoc = os.path.join (folder, raster)
    FileName = (raster)
    print FileName

    # {{{ Create a polygon for the featureList array
    point = arcpy.Point()
    array = arcpy.Array()
    featureList = []

    point.X = propsInRaster.extent.XMin
    point.Y = propsInRaster.extent.YMin
    array.add(point)

    point.X = propsInRaster.extent.XMin
    point.Y = propsInRaster.extent.YMax
    array.add(point)

    point.X = propsInRaster.extent.XMax
    point.Y = propsInRaster.extent.YMax
    array.add(point)

    point.X = propsInRaster.extent.XMax
    point.Y = propsInRaster.extent.YMin
    array.add(point)
    array.add(array.getObject(0))
    polygon = arcpy.Polygon(array)
    fields = ("shape@",'RasterName', 'Projection', 'FILENAME')
    rowValues = [((polygon), FileName, (SR.name), FileLoc)]
    cur = arcpy.da.InsertCursor(fc, (fields))
    for row in rowValues:
        cur.insertRow(row)
    del row
    del cur
