ExB Edit Widget with dropdown list - Have to pick item twice

Question

I have a hosted feature layer that has some attributes with lists created and some without.

When using the editor widget, select a feature, edit one attribute, and then select and another attribute that has a list, I pick an item in the list and the value return to the previous value.  When I pick it a second time it the appears correctly.

After initial testing, this only "appears" to happen on records that have not been previously edited.  If the feature has been previously edited, then the list appears to behave as expected.

I will continue to investigate and post if more information becomes available.

Thanks,

JB

ESRI Support helped us with a temporary fix and logged this as a bug BUG-000167043 Add the feature layer to ArcGIS Pro and run a field calculation to update the value to a certain value (N/A, no data, etc.) Then publish or overwrite the updated layer back to ArcGIS Online. We can add the newly added value to the field list in the item details page. This will allow the ‘connection’ between the list and the edit widget in ExB to complete as expected.

I had the same behavior. I could edit some records while others I could not (same layer), but in the end my null values were still the culprit and I haven't had issues since. It never affected every single record. Again, I did share my data with Esri and that is how they found the issue.

I have checked the null value and I don't think that is the culprit in this case.

I did find that it only happens on the drop downs and only happens if I edit in certain orders.

There also seems to be some correlation between the fields I am editing and those same fields being part of a filter widget.

If I only edit fields that are not part of the filter widget, then it seems fine.  But as soon as I edit a field that is part of the filter widget, then I start seeing the behavior.

Very strange.
