Edit tracking not recording date on hosted feature layer

AmyAlford

I have enabled "Keep track of who edited the data (editor name, date and time)" in the Settings on a hosted feature layer. However, it only created an attribute for Creator. Should there not also be an attribute created for CreationDate, EditDate, etc? Or do I need to manually add these columns?

 

Edit: User error. Forgot to add those fields in Pro prior to AGOL.

Hi @Josh-R, 

Yes, I saw the problem in the map that you linked at first...The initial Editor tracking fields are not being automatically populated as they should. 

However, upon second glance, I see that there are two sets of Editor tracking fields. The second set seems to be working as expected. 

You may need to make those columns visible in the table in order to see them. In those fields, we see the date fields are populated. The Editor and Creator fields should populate when users are signed in, however, since the map is shared publicly, and users don't need to sign in, they don't capture any information. The Edit date and Creation date fields are populating as expected.

 

If you continue to have problems with this in the future, I recommend that you reach out to tech support to log a ticket so that they can help with troubleshooting.

P.S. In the future please feel free to tag me in your reply, that way I am sure to see the reply right away. 

Best, Emily
