Editing is not possible because the globalId parameter was not provided - trying to have users edit records with embedded survey

dwold — Wed, 09 Aug 2023 18:31:36 GMT

I get this error when embedding my survey into an embed element: Editing is not possible because the globalId parameter was not provided

URL I am using: https://survey123.arcgis.com/share/e1b5cc74f6b5454088f925fcef4bc6d2?mode=edit&globalId={globalid}

@DougBrowning thanks for the feedback. I also saw this post and ensured both were enabled on the survey and hosted feature layer.

I created the survey in Connect from an existing hosted feature layer. Do you know if that would be causing an issue?

Does it have related tables? If so then you may not have the proper parentglobalisd and such.

@DougBrowning no, just a standard hosted feature layer. I was able to do this process on a previous dashboard and set this dashboard up using the same steps. For some reason, this one is throwing me that error. Very bizarre.

Hmm I wonder if since it was a existing layer you have to set the security on the items page of the service. Does that all look good? And the service has globalids enabled? These are usually added before you publish.

Sorry that is about all I got.

@DougBrowning no worries, I've enabled the sync setting in the item details and ensured globalids are enabled. Just strange behavior in the dashboard. Thanks for your suggestions. I'll keep poking around to see what might be the issue.

Hello,

Did you ever find a solution for this problem?

I am seeing the same error with a Survey123 integrated in an Experience Builder application.

Hi,

I'm also experiencing this issue in Experience Builder, did anyone ever find a solution?

Thanks.

We opened a ticket with ESRI Support and the issue got logged as BUG-000163913 : "In ArcGIS Experience Builder, the embedded survey is not editable and returns the following error message, "Editing is not possible because the objectId parameter was not provided." after changing the linked web map in ArcGIS Survey123 Connect."

It seems that the last part of the URL has changed from ={globalid} to ={field/globalid}

The change was automatically applied in existing applications but anything new I do, I must use this new syntax.

Hi Elizabeth, I am trying to apply this to my web parameter but I am still getting the same error (editing and everything is enabled). If I were to retrieve a specific survey entry, would it look like this: ...globalId={globalid/<uniqueGlobalID>}

Elizabeth_Burniston — Tue, 03 Sep 2024 15:38:46 GMT

@Chris3030 your entry should look like globalId={field/globalid}

I got the same error and I got the solution hope it will work for you also. I am trying to edit the survey response in the dashboard. I do the following procedure.

1. Add Embedded Content.

2.Choose feature in Type and then select the layer

3. Then select the URL at the end of the URL I choose global ID From field.

It works for me

I'm having an issue now where the survey is not loading upon select. The user is supposed to click on the point on the chart on the left and the existing survey values should populate using the "survey" widget in Experience Builder. Although it was showing the "Editing is not possible because the globalid parameter was not provided" message, it was still loading the values in the survey fields below. I tried turning off and on editing to "reset" the forms and following the instructions from the Esri documentation. I also tried embedding the survey instead of using the "survey" widget. The data source that is used in the chart is the hosted feature layer from the same survey.

CaseyChilders — Mon, 28 Jul 2025 20:16:00 GMT

So, I was getting this error in Experience Builder too...The fix that I found was to delete the widget all together and added a new one and linked the Survey. It was working fine a week ago. Today, all of the surveys are back to giving this error. Nothing was changed in any settings. All of them were the same and haven't been touched. Back to banging my head against the wall, I guess.

@CaseyChilders I assume you are editing an existing record via the survey? The message doesn't disappear until you select a record to start "editing".

I ran into this issue a few days ago, Esri cant recreate it, but I cant Edit and existing record without running into this issue. Anyone know any other troubleshooting methods?

Which version of ArcGIS Enterprise are you using?
If this is BUG-000163913, is should have been fixed with 11.5
