Absolutely read through Tony's link, but the short answer: probably not. My teams been slowly stripping the DB name out of our hardcoded paths as a sanitary thing but we haven't seen issues with cursors, describe constructors and so on since going from 10.9 to 11.1. Direct database access might be more picky, but SQL Server seems to handle a redundant DB name just fine so maybe not. Just leave some time to smoke test your most critical tasks during the upgrade period and you should be good! ... View more

Might be worth using the as_dict instance method and from_dict class method to create a new feature with matching attributes instead of editing the original object. Heavy handed but if it works, it works! ... View more

Turns out proper curve support requires some real work, here's a better listing: var geom = Geometry($feature); var geom_dict = Dictionary(Text(geom)); var paths = DefaultValue(geom_dict, "curvePaths", geom.paths); var m_idx = Iif(geom.hasZ, 3, 2); var coord = PointToCoordinate(geom, $userInput); var start = paths[coord.partId][coord.segmentID]; var first = null; if (HasKey(start, "a")) first = start["a"][0]; else if (HasKey(start, "b")) first = start["b"][0]; else if (HasKey(start, "c")) first = start["c"][0]; if (!IsEmpty(first)) { start = Point({ "x": first[0], "y": first[1], "z": Iif(geom.hasZ, first[2], null), "m": first[m_idx], "spatialReference": geom.spatialReference }); } var end = paths[coord.partId][coord.segmentID + 1]; var seg = Polyline({ "curvePaths": [[start, end]], hasZ: geom.hasZ, hasM: true, spatialReference: geom.spatialReference }); var start_m = start.m; var end_m = null; if (HasKey(end, "a")) end_m = end["a"][0][m_idx]; else if (HasKey(end, "b")) end_m = end["b"][0][m_idx]; else if (HasKey(end, "c")) end_m = end["c"][0][m_idx]; else end_m = end.m; var percent = (PointToCoordinate(seg, $userInput).distanceAlong) / Length(seg); var lerp = ((end_m - start_m) * percent) + start_m; return Text(lerp) ...

Thanks for pointing me to that thread! Combining that with some of my own thinking, this should return a very accurate M interpolation for a popup, which I can then adapt to my attribute rule: var geom = Geometry($feature) var paths = null; var hasCurves = null; if (HasValue(geom, "curvePaths")) { paths = geom.curvePaths; hasCurves = true; } else { paths = geom.paths; hasCurves = false; } var coord = PointToCoordinate(geom, $userInput) var start = paths[coord.partId][coord.segmentID]; var end = paths[coord.partId][coord.segmentID + 1]; var seg = null; if (hasCurves) { seg = Polyline({ "curvePaths": [[start, end]], hasZ: geom.hasZ, hasM: true, spatialReference: geom.spatialReference }); } else { seg = Polyline({ "paths": [[start, end]], hasZ: geom.hasZ, hasM: true, spatialReference: geom.spatialReference }); } var percent = (PointToCoordinate(seg, $userInput).distanceAlong) / Length(seg); var lerp = ((end.m - start.m) * percent) + start.m; return Text(lerp) ...

I ran into the same issue with Enterprise 11.1 and referenced service data, our solution was some combination of sharing the forms to a "Shared update" group and boosting everyone's permissions levels to help edit other's content. Wish I could tell you more specifics but we haven't had to update another user's forms since we moved to 11.5. Either way, as ESRI is modernizing the Survey123 stuff they should see if the whole "matching folder" thing can be dropped, there's no discernable reason why all the survey stuff has to be tethered to any given folder. I'm pretty sure it's the only built-in ArcGIS content that has this requirement! ... View more

You should absolutely work with IT to ensure your machines are up to spec like everyone's said. Just keep in mind you'll still run into noticeable latency and random window compositing glitches on AVD, you pay a price for getting Pro running close to your shared files and databases. ... View more

Using Arcade expressions in the form definition is currently the only way to do this in ArcGIS Online, so you'll have to keep using that. If you're working in ArcGIS Pro or registered EGDB data through Enterprise then you also get access to Attribute Rules, which runs the same Arcade calculations at the geodatabase level with some additional options. ...

This doesn't answer your question per-se, but I'm curious: are you trying to create a feature class that'll eventually link up to Survey123? If so you don't have to lowercase your Object ID or Global ID fields, Survey123 can handle those fields regardless of case. You can even bind to them as form questions, despite the case warning in the Excel workbook. ... View more

I've been doing this for ages by altering the database tables directly, it'd be fantastic to make this a standard ArcGIS feature. ... View more

The ArcGIS form spec now includes dedicated attachment questions, and those questions require the upgraded attachment table schema. It looks like most ESRI teams have gone ahead and assumed every attachment table uses this new format, which is causing all sorts of issues for Enterprise users with registered EGDB data. I'd advise getting your attachments upgraded ASAP, I doubt this assumption is getting rolled back going forward. ... View more

Welcome to the club! There's two potential fixes mentioned here: either play around with your form's groups so Field Maps thinks you're using an older form format (???) or upgrade your attachments in the database. ... View more

I recommend using one DB user account (either per-database or a global account, whatever fits your org better) then use that to create all user objects and create the connection files used to publish data to the Portal. If someone who isn't authorized to publish needs to work with the data they can either use their Windows account to access data shared with them, or just go through a feature service straight from the Portal. I've found trying to deal with anything more complicated just leads to issues with publishing, servers trying to access the data etc. etc. This is also highly recommended if you want to try out branch versioning as you need to sync up the data owner and the .sde credentials to publish those objects out in general. ...
