Dashboard Displays Incorrect ObjectID

joerodmey — Thu, 18 Jul 2019 20:34:00 GMT

I have a dashboard that consumes one feature service (created from Survey123) with 4 copies of it with different filters and different symbology assigned to each. I also have a list in this dashboard.

When I click on a record in the list, everything works fine including a popup that displays with the correct objectID. When I click on this exact same point in the map that is within the dashboard, it shows some random objectID. For example an ID I have in the list is 304, but when I click on it in the map it says 213.

Why would this be the case?

Any ideas Derek Law‌

Hi Joe,

Are you certain that you've clicked on the same feature in the map - as the item in the list? Are there overlapping point features in the map and perhaps you've clicked a different point/survey?

Any chance you could share the Dashboard so I can observe the behavior?

I have clicked on the identical feature in booth the list and map. There is only one feature service being consumed in the map. Sure what is your AGOL username I should share with?

Hi Joe,

Can you please also post some screenshots of the behavior you're seeing so I know what to look for?

The first image shows the list with #304. Once I click on it the map pans and pulls the popup for #304 (picture 2). When I click in the map on the same point the poup shows #132 as shown in picture 3. Derek Law

I've narrowed it down to the refresh interval. When its on this error persists. when I turn it off the issue disappears. Any known bugs? Derek Law

I'm glad to hear that you've seemed to have determined the cause. No, there is no known bug for this behavior that I'm aware of. Can you please contact Esri Tech Support and open a ticket? Please provide detailed repro steps so they can examine this behavior and investigate further.

Thanks,

No, I don't have a specific person in mind.

There is a documented bug: BUG-000121810

Thanks for letting me know Joe. I was not aware of that bug.

Can we push this bug into implementation? Or do you have a workaround? I just need a way to update my feature services and the indicators in my dashboard

Hey Joe!

BUG-000121810 was closed as a "Known Limitation." The ObjectID is changing because when a refresh interval is put on the layer, we convert it into a feature collection to reduce 'flashing' on the screen with each refresh interval. One downside to this is that the ObjectIDs will not be consistent.

As a general rule, we recommend NOT using objectIDs to uniquely identify a feature. Instead, you could use a Global ID or any other field to identify the featue.

Here is a post about how to generate global IDs in Pro.

Hope that helps!

Survey123 forms are edited using objectId, so we HAVE to use objectid to add a Survey123 edit link to a map embedded in a dashboard. Is it possible to use another field to edit a survey in Survey123? If not, then all edit links to Survey123 forms must exist outside of an embedded map.

Exactly. Thanks Malcolm Meyer‌

I've checked with the Survey123 Dev team and this (bolded text above) will be changing soon. Please see this blog.

Ohhhhhhhhh. Well, I wish I would have known this limitation before relying on the ObjectID to be displayed correctly. This limitation has just caused many hours of work to be for nothing and it will completely have to be redone. Is there some way that a warning could be displayed when trying to label based on ObjectID? Of all the fields I am using in my map I was under the impression that ObjectID would be the most consistent and solid only to find that in this case it is total garbage.
