The blog post https://www.esri.com/arcgis-blog/products/collector/field-mobility/same-layer-offline-twice-collector-feature-layer-view… shows how to take the same feature layer offline in Collector more than once with different filters or symbology. The blog post even states that "changes made in one layer are reflected across all the layers." In practice, if an attribute in one feature layer view is edited, the changes are not reflected in the other feature layer view (or the underlying feature layer) until the offline map is sync'd with AGOL or the Enterprise Portal. It seems that Collector is treating each feature layer view as an individual dataset while offline, and only making changes to related/underlying feature layers when the map is online again (during a sync). The concept of having views of the feature layer would be much more useful if Collector would continue to treat the feature layer views as still related to a single underlying database while offline. As an example, say a user wants point data symbolized by Field A, but also wants another copy symbolized by Field B, and would like to be able to turn on/off these symbolizations, and to edit the point features offline. Creating two feature layer views and making different symbology for each is straightforward. When taken offline, if a new feature is made in the first feature layer view and both Field A and Field B are populated with values, the other feature layer view should instantly symbolize this new point correctly. But the Collector app does not treat the two feature layer views as related until after a sync occurs, so the point is only visible in one of the feature layer views (the edited one) for the remainder of the offline session. For field workers who are out for hours or all day between syncing, the other feature layer view and symbology is not currently useful because of this behaviour. ... View more

I have a few double precision fields in my webmap and I have configured the popup in the webmap for 2 decimal places. In Collector on android devices, the keypad that pops up while filling in the double attribute fields does not have a decimal point, so it is not useful. The problem did not exist in the Classic Collector app. Is there another way to set up the desired keypad in Collector? Do I need to switch back to Classic Collector app? There was another question about this topic during beta testing, but there was no answer there: https://community.esri.com/thread/241851-when-editing-an-assets-numeric-field-with-collector-beta-1910-the-keyboard-does-not-give-an-option-to-insert-a-decimal-point  Thanks, Travis ...

In ArcMap, it is possible to select multiple shared polygon edges with the Topology Edit Tool by holding SHIFT and clicking multiple edges. This is especially useful when editing the edge of a polygon that shared edges with two other polygons. In ArcGIS Pro, it only seems possible to select a single shared edge before using the Reshape tool (or other tools, e.g. Vertices). I tried holding SHIFT, and it does not work the same as in ArcMap. Is there a different method for selecting multiple topology edges while editing? Additionally, is it possible to select a topology edge and have it stay selected after using an editing tool? If I want to reshape the edge and then reshape another part of the same edge, currently I have to reselect the edge each time I want to reshape it, but maybe there is a way to keep it selected between editing actions. Any help with that? Thanks. ... View more
