topic Mandatory fields in ArcGIS Collector Questions https://community.esri.com/t5/arcgis-collector-questions/mandatory-fields/m-p/86583#M1586 <HTML><HEAD></HEAD><BODY><P>It would seem that if I define a field for a feature with null values not allowed and host the features in AGOL, Collector populates this (with a space when it's a text field, for example) so the collector can submit without typing anything.. so it sort of defeats the point of not allowing null values.
