ArcGIS Field Maps and Attribute Rules for Related Tables

Question

I currently have published (non-hosted) feature service that connects to my enterprise geodatabase that is used to manage tree inventory data published using ArcGIS Server 10.9.1 and the feature service being added to ArcGIS Online. This feature service has three layers: 1 point feature class, 1 non-spatial related table, and 1 attachments table. The related table is a 1 to many relationship where 1 point (tree) can have many records (tree maintenance records).

I have instituted an attribute rule where the latest (or last added) maintenance record's "condition" field is used to attribute a "condition" field in the parent point feature class.  This attribute rule works fine in ArcGIS Pro and the results from the attribute rule can be seen nearly automatically. The issue I am running into is when trying to test the workflow in ArcGIS Field Maps of adding a point --> adding maintenance record (or just adding a maintenance record to an existing point) and the maintenance record's attributes not being saved / sent / submitted on the first try. Only after the second attempt is the maintenance record's attributes being saved / sent / submitted and thus the attribute rule being executed.

It's unclear to me if its an attribute rule issue, a feature service issue, a data issue, or just a general bug / issue with my version of Field Maps.

Ah OK. For some reason I was assuming this was offline but I should have paid better attention. Thanks for the link! I will compare it to what I am doing currently.

My apologies, it appears ESRI updated their github page and moved the page I had linked. See this link (https://github.com/Esri/arcade-expressions/blob/master/attribute-rules/attribute_rule_calculation/UpdateParentFeature.md).

Regarding offline editing, this is not something I thought about as I have yet to incorporate offline editing in any workflow I have been using. I would try expression that ESRI has provided and see if that may be resolves the issue. If not, then I guess it would be a technical services questions/ticket.

Hi Kevin. I just ran into the something similar. I have a Culverts feature class with a related condition inspection table stored in SQL Server. The attribute rule runs fine when adding an inspection in ArcGIS Pro and in a live Field Map, but when I do the same in an offline map in Field Maps one of the following occurs:

1. I get an error the first time I sync and I submit it a second time and it goes through.

2. I don't receive an error and it goes through fine.

It is not consistent. I tried to click on the link you provided but it says that the page is not found.
