Can we batch update multiple related records using table or forms in EB?

codethemap — Wed, 17 Sep 2025 12:46:30 GMT

can we add, update the multiple related records at once for the selected feature on the map in EB?
I am working with an Experience Builder app where I have:

A feature layer with a related table.
The Table widget configured to display related records.
The Edit, Form widgets, which currently only allow adding or updating one record at a time in the related table.

Requirement:

I need a way to add or update multiple related records in one action (bulk insert update). For example:

A user selects a parent feature on the map.
They want to add several related records at once (e.g., entering 5–10 rows of data quickly).
On saving, all rows should be written into the related table and immediately appear in the Table widget.

Current Limitation:

The Table widget is read-only (no record creation).
The Form, Edit widgets support editing, but only one record at a time.

There does not seem to be an out-of-the-box workflow for batch add, edit of related table records in ExB.

Question:

Is there any supported way in Experience Builder to allow multi-record add, update to a related table?

Hi @codethemap , I think this will first require support to be added for batch editing when in Attribute only mode. See this related post > Add batch edit widget to experience builder

Thanks..!! Just want to confirm if it works for ArcGIS Enterprise 11.5 (since we do not have ArcGIS Online).

As per documentation: https://developers.arcgis.com/experience-builder/guide/release-versions/

No support on ArcGIS Enterprise 11.5 for EB 1.18.

Question: Can we batch edit the Related Records of a single feature selected on map?

You could setup a message action to select related records/features when selecting a parent feature, and those selected related records would be loaded into the Edit widget for batch editing.

Message action example:

But since batch editing is not supported for the Attribute only mode in the Edit widget at this time, this way only work for related "features", not table records.
