Element lists & templates don't transfer when duplicating forms using JSON & AGOL Assistant

SeanBabcock22

I am unable to successfully duplicate an entire form from one map to another using the method described in this post. I am able to get most of the form on a new map, but the lists for radio buttons and combo boxes do not transfer, as well as the templates. All maps have the exact same symbology and fields, just contain different data within the tables. Is the information contained somewhere else in the JSON? Or do I just need to recreate these every time?

@SeanBabcock22 I will preface this with I am not an AGOL Assistant expert, but if your layers are not showing under "operational layers", that can certainly be an issue. I don't think it should matter if you have data or not in the layer.

@KerriRasmussen maybe you would be able to provide some insight? Sorry, I thought replies would tag you.

I have also discovered in AGOL Assistant, that my layers don't appear as "Operational Layers" under the "Update the URLs of a Services in a Web Map" section. Would this potentially be an issue? Just trying to find a direction to continue trouble shooting. Thanks!

Would the issue be in my layers that I have prepared? They are identical except, the template fields contain no data, where as the test fields are populated with data.

Hi Kerri,

Sorry to get back to you after such a long time, but other projects took priority.

I have attempted this again without any success. I copied and pasted just as you described but the results are not any different than my other attempts. I have attached some screenshots of the "test" form vs the "template" to show the differences. I'm clearly missing something here and would appreciate any other tips!

@SeanBabcock22 I tested this functionality this morning, specifically looking at the data types you mentioned and I didn't have any issues with the JSON copying over. One thing I did do, to make sure I got everything, was to copy everything from the "layerType" line until the }, in the line directly above "popupInfo", you will need to make sure you update the "title" at the end of that bunch of code.

I then highlighted the "layerType" (line 😎 in the new map and pasted in the JSON from the form I wanted to copy. It's possible you may have missed a few lines when copying over the JSON. I hope this helps.

AGO Assistant. I should also mention, this is happening with switch elements and they are being affected by the lack of a template.

Hi @SeanBabcock22 . Which method did you use to copy your map/form (Duplicate, Python, or AGO Assistant)?
