https://community.esri.com/t5/arcgis-field-maps-questions/metadata-deleted-when-point-updated/m-p/1590323#M10504 <P>We are having an issue when using Field Maps in conjunction with a GPS unit (both Trimble &amp; Eos). If a new point is collected it comes in with metadata (information from the GPS unit such as coordinates, accuracy, etc) but if we try to update this point the metadata is deleted. We have a project where we will be taking some points that have previously been collected and updating their location, so it's important that the new metadata come in, and right now we are not getting anything. We're having this issue in both ArcGIS Online and Enterprise environments.&nbsp; Has anyone come across this before or have any suggestions?</P> Thu, 27 Feb 2025 20:31:02 GMT David_Zubenko 2025-02-27T20:31:02Z https://community.esri.com/t5/arcgis-field-maps-questions/metadata-deleted-when-point-updated/m-p/1590323#M10504 <P>We are having an issue when using Field Maps in conjunction with a GPS unit (both Trimble &amp; Eos).

It sounds like while editing points you may be incidentally updating the location of the point, which will wipe out the existing metadata. See the <A href="https://doc.arcgis.com/en/field-maps/latest/prepare-maps/configure-the-map.htm#ESRI_SECTION2_C44C7B4D9FD44023BE0CA4DD5F8DE371" target="_self">configure the map doc</A> for how to set these map properties. I hope this helps!</P> Sat, 01 Mar 2025 00:41:33 GMT https://community.esri.com/t5/arcgis-field-maps-questions/metadata-deleted-when-point-updated/m-p/1590998#M10509 ColinLawrence 2025-03-01T00:41:33Z
