QuickCapture Photo Required Box ReEnabled On Its Own

RobinHolland

I have modified one of the QuickCapture templates and want to have photos optional for some of the data capture buttons. The problem I have is that when I uncheck the "Photo Required" box and save the QuickCapture project it seems to initially work fine. However, the next day I find that the "photo required" box has rechecked itself overnight and now the project won't take a point unless a photo is taken. Thus I end up taking a lot of photos of the interior of my truck. How do I solve this problem? My experience with JSon is none, so please provide step-by-step details if that is part of the solution.

Hi @RobinHolland, please try below steps:

1. Open your QuickCapture project in the web designer > Open the JSON Editor tool. 
2. Search and find properties: "minPhotos", "maxPhotos", "required". Now you need to manually edit the values of these properties, for the exact buttons that you want to take an optional photo for. You can double-check which button is which by looking at the value of 'label' property (i.e the name of the button) of each button, and confirm that's the right button to edit.
3. For required photo taken, update the values to be:
   "maxPhotos": 1,
   "minPhotos": 1,
   "required": true
4. For optional photo taken, update the values to be:
   "maxPhotos": 1,
   "minPhotos": 0,
   "required": false
5. Click Done to end editing, and Save the project. 

Please give it a try and let me know if it works for you. Or, you are always welcome to share your project with us to take a look (Create an ArcGIS Online group > Invite QCCreator to that group > Share your QC project with that group).
