I cannot find any help docs on this button

I cannot seem to find this button listed in any help file. Never seen it before but it seems to do what I want better than Add does.

This button adds a related point visit and properly inherits both of my related fields.

When I go to Related then Add it only ever inherits one of the fields. And strangely it inherits the same field on both RCs.

So it does work better but I need to figure out why.

For now I have been adding two relationships class - one for each field. I would rather just have one as the users are confused - but would this still work? What is the proper method to inherit multiple fields?

Thanks for any help!

You are correct that it is the copy button (Quick reference—Collector for ArcGIS | Documentation ).

If you're using it with an editable feature, it copies the form to a new feature placed at your current location (or a location you specify with the map: Capture > At your location with a duplicated form—Collector for ArcGIS | Documentation

If you're using it with features that are read-only or only allow attribute updates, it copies the form and the geometry to the new feature: Capture > By copying an existing asset or observation—Collector for ArcGIS | Documentation

It sounds like you are using it with a layer that isn't editable, and then picking one of your related tables as the target of the copy?

[Update so that this can be marked as the correct and and complete answer: That is what the button is. However, Doug's data was an editable feature class that was the child in a relationship. He was able to add features of that related type directly (and create orphans as a result) with that button because he had "Show related types" enabled in the Collector settings (see Configure Collector > Show related types—Collector for ArcGIS | Documentation for details on the setting).]

No the layer is editable, just that one field is not checked to be editable since it is the Key. It looks like if you copy, any field that is not checked as editable does not inherit. But it does inherit across layers which is interesting.

So it looks like the only way to add a point, and have it pull in the relationship key is to pick the relationship, then use Add. (It has been a bit difficult to train the user to not use the big blue plus sign to add data.)

The help link you supplied does not actually show the button I asked about anywhere. I only figured it out since it looks the same as in the full pop up.

thanks

Further testing it looks like it is the Copy button? Then somehow it is inheriting that match fields. But then I have to allow edits for it to work still.

I also just found that if I turn off my related fields from editing then they do not populate when using this mystery button. Bummer as we do not want people editing and messing of the relationship.

But if a go into relationships then the Add button then the key will inherit the key. But again only one of the keys.

So why do these two buttons work so differently? What is going on here?

Is there a way to fix this? We need to inherit but not let them edit it as then it would no longer relate.

thanks
