Oh, absolutely! I just won't rely on them as a unique identifier. But that reminds me of the issue I'll still have with moving attachments. Bah! I'll have to dwell on this more.

That's a bummer. Since I started this project I have been made aware of all the reasons why GID shouldn't be used. However, when I first started, there was a way to transfer GID so there wasn't a reason to change my workflow, especially since I had a lot of data already collected and working! Since I have to do the transfer manually now, I'll probably just create a new field and assign a unique identifier. I already have a couple relates in my workflow and I'd rather not make it more confusing! Thanks for the reply.

I have a very large project in which I have used a feature service GlobalID as a unique identifier for each record. This number gets copied to a field in another feature layer so that they can be related in an Experience. However, whenever I need to update my project and copy all the data we have collected, the GlobalIDs don't persist (it's a known, expected situation--I've talked with Esri support about this and the workaround doesn't work in my case), so I have to manually update them to the new GlobalIDs. To help with minimizing the work in the future, I'd like to have Survey123 populate another field in the survey, a hidden field, with the GlobalID, so it persists even when the actual GlobalID doesn't. However, everything I try either doesn't write any value to the field or it throws an error in Survey123 Connect and won't publish. I feel like this should be very easy, similar to writing "username" to a field. I have done extensive searching and everything I've found has been relating to custom URL parameters. I've tried modifying these solutions to my issue, but nothing is working.

Thank you for this list! I tried looking it up really quick, but I apparently didn't use the correct key words.

I am a Professional Plus/Administrator in my organization and I create web maps and apps for others to view and edit. I have to walk my users through using these tools using step-by-step instructions. Due to my credentials, what I see is not what my users see, which can lead to instructions that aren't as clear as what they could be. I frequently say, "It won't look exactly like this but if you see [this button], click it." What would be nice is a function where I could toggle to "View as [different user/role type]" so I could more succinctly provide instructions without having to ask my user to test while screensharing or create another user account and log out/in each time I wanted to see the different view.

Been working with a great team of Esri analysts! Here's an update: Whittled the flow down to this: When a record is updated in a feature layer (related table) Fetch updates, changes, or deletions from feature layer (related table) Condition (Specified one attribute change to listen for) If true: Get data from feature layer 1 (parent geometry) Still having issues with this: Convert date and time format (target layer needs date only, not epoch or date/time) Create a record in a feature layer If I remove the date attribute to write the Flow works. Looks like the big issue was flipping when to fetch related table updates and getting parent data. Will update more when I can!

I did some more testing: I modified the Flow down to the bare minimum so I could first test the Trigger: When a record is updated in a feature layer (related table) Get data from feature layer (parent table) Initialize variable (Apply to each) Fetch updated, changes, or deletions from feature layer (For each 2) Condition True (For each 1) Send an email False The Trigger works: I updated an attribute in the related table and it sent an email. However, the data in the email aren't correct. In my hosted feature layer, I have two polygons. One has one related record and the other has two related records. I only updated one attribute in one related record of the related table of the polygon that has two related records. I received two emails, both with the same data from the updated related table record but the parent polygon data were for different polygons. So it sent an email for both polygons but assigned the same related record to both. To me, this means that the related table isn't connected to the parent layer somewhere. I tried to put a condition in (ParentRecord (attribute from related table) is equal to GlobalID (attribute from parent layer)), but when the Flow is triggered, it follows the "False" part of the flow.

I actually don't know the exact reason why the terminate, response, and initialization actions were needed. I have a Flow that's currently being used to copy from a hosted feature layer to an Enterprise layer (same workflow except without the related tables). I was having trouble with this last year and was able to use some technical assistance hours to get Esri help in creating the Flow. The analyst added these actions. I opened the Flow and made sure the connections were good and saved it. At the top of the Flow, it stated that it was ready to go (see the attachment called Save_Successful.png). Then, when I returned to the Flow's management page, it gave me an error (see the Flow_Checker_Error.png attachment). I then clicked on the "Go to the trigger" link and the Run Details stated that there was an "Error creating webhook" (see attachment called "Error_Creating_Webhook.png). I did a bit of research and found that I didn't have the "Keep track of changes to the data" setting turned on. After I updated this setting in ArcOnline, the Flow triggered. However, the conditions were set incorrectly so the Flow didn't complete. I updated the conditions and the next time I updated the attribute to trigger the Flow, it failed (see the Flow_Fail.png screenshot). The "For Each" actions wouldn't stop spinning so I can't see what the error is there. I also don't know why there are so many "For Each" actions; they just keep getting added when I added other actions to my Flow. The target layer is a hosted feature layer; not a view.

I have created a brand-new hosted feature layer to test out my workflow; the record that's supposed to trigger the webhook is only being used for this new Flow and isn't being edited/deleted by anything else.

@AkshayHarshe: I'm actually talking with a couple of solution engineers who will be reaching out to you more about my workflow! But for now, I don't have any errors to pass on because the Flow isn't being triggered, even though I updated the attribute that's supposed to trigger it. I basically copied the original Flow that runs fine and added the related table aspect, and now it doesn't trigger at all.

I have been working on a Tool for a couple of years now and have been slowly updating it based on user feedback and needs. This Tool uses Microsoft Power Automate to copy a lot of data to different layers so users aren't having to do it manually. The last part of the workflow takes a polygon and some associated attributes from an ArcOnline hosted feature layer and pastes it into a feature layer on our Enterprise system. I had assistance from Esri to get this running (we had hours through our organization's agreement for technical help). I have attached a screenshot of the Flow (Copy_to_Portal_PA.png). I am now testing a process to see if it's feasible as a solution to a problem, and it seems like it will work, but I don't have the specific Flow steps correct. I again want to copy a polygon record from a hosted feature layer to the layer on our Enterprise system, but the hosted feature layer now has a related table. The trigger to copy the record is updating an attribute in the related table, copying the parent polygon, some of the parent's attributes, and some of the child's attributes to the Enterprise layer. I used this great post to be able to "see" the related table in Power Automate, but my Flow isn't being triggered. Based on the previous assistance I received from Esri, there is an extra step/missing step/wrongly nested step that's causing this, but I can't find it. Can anyone help? I've attached two additional screenshots of my new Flow (PA_1.png and PA_2.png) to show what I created. Please let me know if you need more information. @NataliyaLys @SeanKMcGinnis

Thanks. I understand, I think! Of course when I have a possible solution I don't need to switch anything out 😂 I'll try this when I can!

Thanks for the suggestion. I will definitely look into this. Do you think that this solution would work on pages that don't have web maps? For this I'm just using a table. It's so users can filter data for reporting purposes.

Unfortunately, I can't overwrite. The layer that ExB is referencing is a joined view feature layer. The original base layer was created for and is still attached to a Survey123 form and whenever I have to update the form (adding to domains is the most frequent task), I have to delete the joined view feature layer (even remove it from the recycle bin!) before the form can be republished. If I try to republish the form without deleting anything, it won't--it just spins.
