You can remove the whole Windows group in the View Tab,  then add a New Tab group  ex. "My Windows" and add only the commands you want to it.   I agree it would be nice if it were easy to remove from the existing ribbon, but it is possible to set things up the way you want it.   ... View more

I have experienced similar behavior.  When working on the same portal item in multiple tabs or browsers, things can get out of sync if the browser cache for the specific tab is not refreshed to the currently saved state.   I see this most often when I have Field Maps Designer open and the Map open in Map Viewer at the same time.  If I forget to save a change or forget to reload / refresh after making a change, it's very easy to get the map (browser cache) out of sync between the two browser tabs.    For example: 1. I have the same map open in Map Viewer and Field Map Designer. 2. In Field Maps Designer add a New Form Element. 3. Save the Change in Field Map Designer. 4. In Map Viewer, Zoom map to new location, Change Symbols to new colors 5. Save the Map in Map Viewer. 6. In Field Map Designer refresh / reload the web page.   The form element previously added disappears. The form element was removed because I made my cartographic edits in Map Viewer using a cached, older version of the map. When I saved in Map Viewer, it overwrote the map that I had previously saved in Field Maps Designer, effectively reverting it to an older state. Had I reloaded the Map Viewer tab (web page) first, it would have picked up the changes made in Field Maps Designer. Then my cartographic edits would have been saved against the current version of the map.   Working in multiple tabs with the same map or portal items can be done, but you really need to make sure you’re working with the current version of the data by ensuring the browser cache for that tab is up to date.   It’s possible that you’re experiencing something different, but this really does seem like a browser caching issue. Your steps 3 and 4 don’t read like a browser cache problem, but steps 6, 7, and 8 do seem consistent with the browser cache being out of sync. ... View more

There are a couple way to do this, mentioned in the post the feature layer template approach being one you are familiar with, but also Map Templates (they were new as of June 2025).  https://community.esri.com/t5/arcgis-field-maps-questions/create-templates-from-configured-field-maps-forms/td-p/1298479/page/2 ...and this blog article has a pretty good introduction to Map Templates  https://www.esri.com/arcgis-blog/products/field-maps/field-mobility/whats-new-in-arcgis-field-maps-june-2025 I think they are just what you are looking for.   If there is something more you want from them, let us know. thanks, mark ...

It is possible to load Maps SDK supported data (ex. feature layers) from the layer package, but there is not a straightforward way to get the rendering information from the lyrx file and apply it, that I am aware of.  Definitely a challenging situation. ... View more

If you have a lot of photos to add and are able to use ArcGIS Pro.  The Add Attachments geoprocessing tool with a match table that contains the file path to your attachment would be an efficient way to do this.  Especially if the names of your photos are easily matched to an attribute of your tree features.

Hello @JasperRomero , Are you using a popup text element?  I tried a simple test with Arcade popup element and Text popup element and I see that returns are accounted for in the text popup element.    The Arcade popup element looks to be processed as html perhaps?  if I put html tags in the string (ex. br) they are honored.   Anyway, does the popup text element work for you?   And this is what I typed in the form. For the Text element popup definition I have this:   Mark ... View more

Hello @CarolineLindhe ,   If the editable feature layer used in multiple maps always has the same form, you could save the form to the layer using Field Maps Designer, instead of saving to the map.   Keep in mind that if there is FormInfo (the definition for the form) saved in the Map and Saved in the layer.  The form definition saved in the map will be the one that gets used when the Map is opened.  The form information in the layer will be used when creating a new map with that layer, or creating a new layer when used as a template. Additionally, Field Maps provides a new option that will allow you to use the entire map as a template for a new map.   I updated this post https://community.esri.com/t5/arcgis-field-maps-questions/create-templates-from-configured-field-maps-forms/m-p/1637952#M11209  with the basic steps. This blog announcement also explains it.  https://www.esri.com/arcgis-blog/products/field-maps/field-mobility/whats-new-in-arcgis-field-maps-june-2025   -Mark       ... View more

For an html popup I have found that using an arcade popup element to create the popup content works quite well.  One thing to note: I have the best outcomes starting with an open <div> and finishing with closing </div>. ... View more

Update:   This is working in the latest online release.  Using the steps above, you can use any feature layer as a template for a new feature layer, retaining the layer definition (popup, forms, symbols, and more) in the newly created feature layer. Also, with Field Maps Designer you can create a map template from an existing map. Then create a new map using the template.         ... View more

I took a look, it does work for existing features that are taken offline.  The count does not update as attachments are added or removed.  It only returns the count of existing attachments when one starts editing the feature.   I also noticed It is not working for new features that are created whether online or offline.   I see an error using the MapViewer while connected for calculating a field equal to  Count(attachment($feature))    Potentially in the feature creation process the "attachment info" is not fully there until the new feature edit is finished? One difference, MapViewer will let you create the feature (submit), when there is an Arcade error.  Field maps will not let you submit the feature with this error. If you can log an issue with Tech Support for this, it will help.  thanks, Mark   ... View more
