Collector for ArcGIS - Structural Symbol Rotation is not honored

Question

The structural symbols I defined on the feature classes are rotated  and display correctly on my Webmap after publishing my map document to Portal for ArcGIS.

However when the map is opened in Collector, these symbols on the feature layer loose their rotation.

This issue is very important to our organization's field geological mapping workflow. Is there a workaround this problem? If not, are there plans to incorporate this in the new Collector Aurora update slated for 2018 Q2?

Thanks

I have a feature layer that represents bus stops. This feature layer is used in Collector Classic by our Operations department who inspects the bus stops. The stops are symbolized by a square and by a field called "Current" which lets the Ops. department know if the bus stop sign is current (green square) or not (red square). If the stop is a park & ride lot, a field titled "Rotation" gets a value of '45'. If it is not a park & ride lot, the field is populated with a '0'. This is used in the ArcGIS Online rotate symbol function that requires a field to rotate on turning the park & ride symbol to a diamond. The symbol is displayed correctly in ArcGIS Online, but the rotation is not honored in Collector. Is there a fix for this?

Hi Dan.

I have not tested it with Pro…. But it did work with Desktop

Did you use a similar method in ArcGIS Pro to rotate symbology or did you go about enabling that symbology in a different way? Esri Support may be able to look into this further and see if this is a bug.
