Possible Bug: Field Maps will not work properly with an 'empty' Feature Layer

BlairDeaver3 — Wed, 02 Jun 2021 22:29:19 GMT

I am logging what appears to be a bug/software defect with Field Maps and Feature Templates.

Problem: I was unable to prepare a map for offline use when the Web Map referenced an empty Feature Layer with no records - and thus no Feature Template.

You will get an immediate failure message when preparing the managed map areas or manually downloading the map areas from the phone.

Solution: Create a new feature (and thus the Feature Template) before preparing your Field Map app for the field. You can delete the point after.

Environment:

AGOL
Field Maps for iOS (App Version 21.1, Build 396)

It would be great if this was better documented in online tutorials/help. Thank you

Cheers,
Blair

I'm not able to reproduce this using a simple Feature Layer Template from ArcGIS Online.

How are you publishing/creating your layers?

Are there multiple layers/tables in the feature service?

Do your layers have Feature Types or just templates?

These are hosted layers, correct?

What is the exact error message are you seeing?
