Can I edit a feature that has related tables?

Anonymous User

I NEED to be able to symbolize in some manor the features that my guys are inspecting in the field. I need to either be able to symbolize via the related table or edit the feature itself as inspected (a yes/no type of field to control symbology) in collector. Currently you cannot symbolize via related table and if you try to edit the feature (not the related table), collector crashes (with the phrase: "Unfortunately, Collector has stopped").

I should stipulate that I need to do this for one to many relationships. I use this now in Collector with related tables in a one to one relationship and it does work nicely (I am able to edit the feature class in collector with no bugs/crashes, my field crews love it because it saves them time).

It is not possible to symbolize based on a field in the related table. You can add a field to the main feature that can be symbolized. As to why it is crashing, do you have the symbology defined before publishing to ArcGIS Online/Server or do you define the symbology in the ArcGIS Online Web Map?

FAQ: Can I symbolize or label my features based on a related table?

I am defining the symbology in the AGOL Web Map. Really "crashes" is a poor choice of words. there are two problems with the feature class (when dealing with a 1:many relationship):

1). If I try to create a new feature I get a pop up that says Update failed Updates could not be sent.

2). If I select an existing feature and then press the edit feature "button" I get a pop up that says "Unfortunately, Collector has stopped" and I click OK and collector bounces back to the main menu and I have to refresh it so that the map that I was working on will show up again.

If I show details and scroll down to the views, I get all the related table entries, and I can even create a new one with no issues...most of the time. Since I posted this I have been in contact via email with a developer and they say that 1:many related tables is not supported at this time. The 1:1 is working OK, it is not intuitive but with a little tutorial I should be able to get my more technologically inclined people up and running with it.

So there is no symbology defined in arcmap before publishing, correct? What version of Collector are you using and what type of device are you using Collector on? Are you using services published directly to ArcGIS Online as hosted feature services or to and ArcGIS Server?

I think the title of thread not match with context . I'm confusing . you want to symbolize using fields of related table. or crash while you edit feature has related table.

As an update, we are now using Survey 123 to conduct our sign inventory and it is working exactly as I had planned out the collector with related tables to work. Since we are collecting all the data for the first time the fact that Survey 123 does not allow for editing existing data is not an issue. It works pretty efficiently over all and I can attach multiple signs to one sign post and include pictures. We are still in testing right now but it seems to have great potential.
