I'm reached out to support and will reference that BUG. Thank-you. I realized in looking back at our Enterprise its actually the  'None option' in the Category Selector 'Single Selection' that disappeared.  I posted a photo in the original post.    ... View more

Thanks Katie, That is good to know on the BUG and related but this is actually different because there was an option in 'Single' Selection to show 'All' and then I could type types "All Dates" or similar. I do see the option in the Multiple to 'Show select all', but there is no 'default' selection ('First' or 'Last').  There is no longer a 'show all' in the Single Selection OR in the Multiple Selection option a way to default to 'First' or 'Last'.  I wish I had a screenshot prior to the June 2026 update, but this is what it looks like now in the category selector.  I need a default selection to show initially but also the option to show 'ALL'. We've had that ability for years.     ... View more

Hi Heather,  Thanks for that article but WOW that is a lot of steps for something that used to be so easy even for the occasional Field Maps user - share markup to AGOL and then their coworker could grab it. The work around has a person downloading JSON somehow getting that from their device and python scripts and publishing all just to get a little markup seems like extreme overkill on the methods and not really an option for the occasional mobile user in my opinion.  I'll look at it closer and I do appreciate it but that is a lot when people had it so easy before....hard to make sense of why the ability to share to AGOL was removed altogether (two thumbs down). At this point people are better off not to use markup especially when we run iPads that do not have cellular plans and people are limited on the apps they can use (no email, Teams)...etc. Again why is Esri relying on other communication apps to be able to share data collected in Field Maps. Sigh again. I should mention one of the reasons some users were using markup was to quickly draw lines during aerial surveys because the collect here for 'lines' is quite cumbersome in adding vertices and no ability to trace. So our workaround for a few users was to use markup. Now what's the workaround back to paper?   I understand a lot of people using Field Maps are on the ground, fully connected online but I help support biologists that are doing aerial surveys in remote areas and time is very limited for looking at the device versus out the window (so observations are not missed). In case that adds some context so the markup WAS a nice option so frustrating to see the changes. ... View more

Hi Heather, Yes also very disappointed to no longer have the ability to share markup to AGOL and essentially directly to ArcGIS Pro. This was a very quick way for field biologists to share observations with coworkers in the office.  Essentially coworkers in the office could copy the markup features directly into a feature class or create new features based on the markup. We obviously collect features with geometry in the field using the collect feature tool, but you've essentially removed the ability to share markup where our iPads run as managed devices with no texting, emailing or other communication allowed on shared managed devices. However what worked for sharing markup was sharing to AGOL within FieldMaps. What is the work around when biologists using shared devices do not have access on the iPads to a mobile cellular plan, Teams or other communications? Isn't part of using ArcGIS Field Maps for offline workflows and connecting to Wi-FI for uploading data enough? Why does personal markup now need to rely another another app or communication on the device to be able to share markup collected in Field Maps? Sigh 😞  ... View more

Thank-you @Neal_t_k ! It looks like that is exactly the issue/Bug I was trying to resolve. Thanks so much. I've been trying the work around since apparently the status is 'As Designed' but for the moment we might have to continue to open/close the app to run the query since the workarounds I've been trying make it not calculate at all :(.    Regardless thanks for sharing this information, its knowledge to know that its functioning even if its not how I want it too. Thanks, Kathy ... View more

Thanks for finding this issue and sharing. We use the intersects function in a number of Field Map data collection apps but now is not the field season for most of the biologists. Are you working offline or online for data collection? We are mostly offline/remote. This would be yet another FM update that has made the app way slower to use this go around. I will check into this on our end.  I hope FM team can get this fixed and back functioning the way it was in the previous version. Thanks, Kathy ... View more

100% Agree and just posted on this today after a coworker experienced the new cumbersome workflow. Please Revert to not hide the data collection menu! ... View more

Hi,  thanks so much for this information. I added a number of arcade expressions to a project using the call to the Portal item and collected points offline. I was trying to figure out why it was having a delay in sending once turning on the Wi-Fi (Send button was greyed out). Then I noticed under the records to send there was a line that said ' # records to process' and this must be the arcade expressions running (sort of one by one)?. There was only 39 points and hopefully when there are a few hundred points collected offline with arcade expressions to process this won't be too big of a bottleneck. Thanks!, Kathy  ... View more

Thanks for this post and update, ArcGIS Online (AGOL) very slow to open and feature services with intermittent connection errors. I hope the update is the issue since services were fine yesterday on hosted feature layers.  Thanks ... View more
