Hi Larry - Here is what I see as missing: - Split and Merge - Copy/Paste - Selection management (add to selection, remove from selection, select by attribute) I would argue that all of the functionality in web-editor is valuable to mobile workers even if it's allegedly an "advanced" workflow. I don't think it's very clear what ESRI considers advanced, or why all users shouldn't have access to such tools. ...

Agreed - the lack of consistency is a pain. The hacky workaround I use is something like this: species_type = ['flora','fauna']  species_flora = [<list of flora species>] | conditionally visible species_fauna = [<list of fauna species>] conditionally visible species_value = hidden field that pulls either `species_flora` or `species_fauna` species_value holds the actual choice in a single spot, so I don't have to look for multiple fields in reports/symbology/etc. I have tried contingent values in the past - but they are a total pain to update post-publish. ...

tough one! not many options once you start using pages appearance. You could have the image in the page1 group label instead.  type name label hint media::image begin group foobar Example Form Title   header.png note   <span></span>     end group         ... View more

The early adopter community exists, but they didn't have any release notes or details on what changed. So there wasnt even really a proper beta this go-around.😤 ... View more

yes this is the case of how offline areas are managed in field maps. though there is an alternative, pre-loading a basemap on the device. Then the users would only need to download the feature data, not all the imagery/other basemaps. See: https://doc.arcgis.com/en/field-maps/latest/prepare-maps/configure-the-map.htm#ESRI_SECTION2_4308BA6C95E543C1B209EBEB95A00452 ... View more

I would make sure your urls are encoded, like using the URLEncode() method via arcade. That fixes most issues I have had with hyperlinks. Also - check the field maps troubleshooting logging for more details. It may give you more details to go off of! ... View more

Oh and potentially the simplest method, utilizing the geospatial aspect: - hide any site metadata questions - add geopoint question to photos repeat - update site_id via post process via arcgis pro, web-editor or notebook I have notebooks that automate this sort of thing, but it could be a quick manual process too. ...

you could also do a print out of QR codes - I bet you could fit 21 on a single page. Another alternative that is a bit more involved. Given a set-up like this: Site Point Photos Repeat You could pre-populate the site points and use the Inbox functionality to allow them to load all sites before going out. Workflow: User navigates to Site 1 Opens Survey123 Form Opens Inbox Selects "Site 1" Adds photos to the repeat. Perquisites: Form would need instance name configured Repeat would need `bind::esri:parameters` set to allowAdds=true Result would be a 21 records, each with a series of related records.

Have you considered using url parameters Launch the field app—ArcGIS Survey123 | Documentation? A couple of ways you could implement this: - Field Maps Points/Polygons that represent the sites. User clicks on site "Launch Survey123 Form" > launches survey with attributes pre-populated - QR codes at the site locations. User scans > launches survey with attributes pre-populated   ...

It must be the database level, not allowing null values. That setting seems to not be best practice nowadays, it seems to cause problems with field maps designer. on a field without "Allow Null Values", it works as intended.     ... View more
