Table widget not auto-populating field

mshanaghan — Mon, 08 Jan 2024 19:40:34 GMT

Hi. My experience builder application was created for users to edit a hosted feature layer. The app contains a web map in which the user can use the Edit widget to edit geometry and attribute data of the layer. The Edit widget honors the form I have set up within the web map (I used the "Configure the Form" button on the right hand side of the web map in map viewer) to automatically populate the "Species Name" field to be a combination of Genus + Species + Infraspecific. As shown below. This is great.

The second page of my app contains the Table widget because my users like to edit in table format as well. The Table widget does not honor the form within the web map. As seen below, the Species Name field is not automatically updated to include "test" when that word is entered into the infraspecific field.

Am I missing something in the configuration of the Table widget or is this feature just not supported yet?

Is there anyway to set up the table to calculate a field based on other fields?

All ideas welcome and appreciated. Thank you.

The Table widget does not honor the form within the web map.

Unfortunately, this is a known limitation right now. The Form is only supported through the Edit widget.

Thank you for the reply. Is there a way for me to configure the "Species Name" field in Pro to always be a combination of Genus + Species + Infraspecific and then republish the layer?

Perhaps you could look into attribute rules, but note that these are not yet supported in ArcGIS Online. Introduction to attribute rules—ArcGIS Pro | Documentation

Based on my knowledge, I think the Editor widget may be your best option at this time if you're looking at web editing with calculations in ArcGIS Online.

Thank you. Are attribute rules supported in the Enterprise Portal? That is where my data editor app is located.

Yes, that should work since the rule is triggered at the enterprise geodatabase level when you edit data in your service.
