main stage popup won't open after updating the layer

ago103881

I've added main stage actions (location and popup) to point and polygon features in my map journal. If I update the feature layer from a ZIP file, the popups won't automatically open anymore. The location still works i.e. zooms to the saved location but the popup doesn't open. Am I doing something wrong?

Sorry about that, some reference that Map Journal is using to restore the popup must be lost when you update your data. Can you share a link to your Journal?

One thing to consider is that restore popup state, Map Journal will store an id or another unique attribute from your data for the popup you want to open. If those values change, the popup won't be able to open after data change. You may need to add a new immutable column to your data if you change the order of records.

Thanks for getting back to me on this. Below is a link to one of the Map Journals I’ve been working on. I haven’t updated the layers on this map for a while so I don’t know if the popups on this one will fail. The map with the failing popup is pretty identical but has more content and features. If you want, I can get you added to a group that has access to the failing map.

I’m a little confused on the immutable column. Would this just be a column with a random value that never changes? How does the popup know to use this column?

Thanks!

You are welcome, I have tried about 10 main stage actions that open popup and they all seems to work.

In your case, the application is using the value of the column FID to open the popup.

I am not an expert in Desktop tool but if it is an attribute in your data, you just need to make sure that value doesn't change. Otherwise, ArcGIS must be generating it for you, that means that you just can't add/remove or change the record order safely. I know in Desktop you can define what's the attribute to be used as index on your layer, that's that attribute that will be used in the application. Another way may be to have a column named OBJECTID.

Hope this helps

Pretty sure the FID is being generated by ArcGIS desktop. I'll look a little closer at the indexing and might also add a field named OBJECTID to see if that helps. by the way, how were you able to tell the application is using FID for the popups? I looked at the page source and searched for FID and didn't get a hit. Thanks again for your suggestions on how to resolve this problem.
