Hi Dan, Thanks so much for the detailed reply.  I noticed that I had posted in an incorrect thread after posting, but the process of deleting my post was a bit much, so I let it stay.  My organization has contacted technical support for this issue.  I can confirm that the powershell command does show that I have patch 6 installed, just like your example above.  Thanks again for your input.  - Jake  ...

Based on my experience using Workforce, a Workforce Assignment does not allow for multiple tasks.  Each task for a given SAP workorder would need to have an associated Workforce Assignment.  I would suggest looking into the capabilities of  Field Maps Tasks because that will eventually be replacing Workforce. ...

Yes, we have experienced this issue (community post ).  We are now at Enterprise 11.3 and this issue does still occur, but very infrequently.  Probably occurring on the order of once a month or quarter and we are receiving 3000+ surveys per month.  We have band-aided the issue by running a job hourly for those webhooks that are mission critical and time sensitive to process any records that may have been missed.  For my organization, we felt that the effort to research and resolve this issue outweighed the cost, so we are living with the minor inconvenience that is causes us.   - Jake ...

@ModernElectric  We use FME to load new records into our Workforce Assignments feature layer.  Our assignments come from a different system and we use FME to extract data from the source system, translate the data and load it into the Workforce feature layer.  We have not had issues with assignments not being able to be selected in Workforce.  Have you looked to confirm that those assignments that cannot be selected have a valid geometry (by viewing them in ArcGIS Pro)?   As for the integration between Workforce and Survey123, we use the Assignment Integrations table in the Workforce project to relate the survey to the Workforce Assignment type.  The Workforce app will use this table to create links in the assignment based on the integrations established in the table.  - Jake ...

Workforce assignments by default is a point feature service.  It will not support creating a line or polygon geometry for as the assignment.  In our case we pair Workforce with Survey123, where Workforce represents the location that the inspection is taking place (point) and we use Survey123 to record the field observation that took place (in some cases a pipeline observation) and relate the observation to a specific pipe.   - Jake ...

You can add additional columns to the Workforce schema.  For example, we have added a 'project_id' column to the schema and we expose that to the users via the 'description' column.  The 'description' value is a concatenation of the 'project_id' column and various other pieces of information.  The value for our users is that they can search by project ID via the search functionality because it works across the description value.  On the back end, we use the project_id column to drive reporting.  You could add additional columns to hold feature id or location information, the rub is that they have to be exposed to the user via one of the native columns that are leveraged by the application. ...

Not sure if this a recommended by ESRI, but we have added additional columns to the Workforce Assignment Schema to meet a similar need.  The additional columns store information that is known a the time of assignment creation and that we want to pass downstream to the Survey123 that will be generated from the assignment.  The caveat is that if you add additional columns to the Workforce Assignments schema, you will not be able to edit them in the Workforce Dispatcher app.  In our case that was ok because we us custom .Net code to create our assignments (and populate our additional add on columns).   ...

We periodically delete (move them to a different storage repo) the completed assignments from Workforce (we do 250k assignments a year and the dispatcher map becomes slow and meaningless with that many records).  We have found that when we remove completed assignments, the Workers must reload the Workforce project.  I think the explanation is that records that exist on the replica (on the iPad) no longer exist on the server (because we have deleted them) and it causes replica sync issues.  Our practice is to ask all users to sync by a certain date or risk losing some data because they will be forced to reload the project after the assignment cleanup has taken place.  - Jake ...

I believe that all content in the webmap that is consumed on the tablet must have sync enabled.  If not, the assignments/workers data will not sync.  My org has had issues with this from time to time.  I create a copy of the webmap (for backup purposes) and remove all the layers (with the exception of the workforce layers (assignments, workers, etc)) and save the webmap and verify that syncing works.  Then I start adding layers and continue testing.  In the past, I have found that the culprit is a service that has sync enabled, but maybe the GDB level change occurred that affected a column.  Anyway, this method (though long and arduous) can help identify the culprit. Good Luck...  - Jake ... View more
