Failure to sync related table

JenniferSwitzer1

I have a point feature service to collect sign poles with a related table (1:M relationship class using Global ID as primary key) to collect the street signs attached to each pole.  The services are hosted through our ArcGIS Server.  I can take my map offline, create the pole features and add related sign entries.  However, when I try to sync my edits when I am connected to WiFi, the pole features come through but the related sign entries do not.  I get this message - "Error code '500': Failed to Synchronize".  I am using a Windows Surface tablet (Windows 10).  Any ideas why this is happening?  Would it have anything to do with the Global IDs?  Thank you

I talked to someone at Esri and the problem was that I was using the GlobalID field as both the primary and foreign keys in the feature class and table.  What you must do is create a GUID field in the table to use as the foreign key.  After adding the GUID field, I created a new relationship class using GlobalID as the primary key and then the GUID as the foreign key.  I then republished my feature service and everything is working and syncing with no problems.
