Changing the schema and adding old data back in

Question

In the past when changing the schema I ....

Downloaded a copy of the data

Published the new form

Used ArcRest to add the data back in

But now I am getting this error from ArcRest.  Guessing its a schema issue

So I instead did a Create Local Copy for editing

Ran the Append tool

Checked back in.

This works great EXCEPT I lose the photo attachments.

Has anyone come up with a good workflow for this?  ArcPro maybe?

Any ideas are welcome.  Hopefully Survey123 will handle this in the future.

Thanks

Anyone know how to add photos back into a Hosted Feature Service at all?

I am adding some new fields and taking some away so not sure this would help.  I will look at it though.  Thanks

Hi Doug - I'm not sure what schema changes you are making. But would the following be a suitable workflow?: https://community.esri.com/groups/survey123/blog/2017/02/01/updating-field-types-in-existing-survey123-surveys
