Created Smart Forms for Layers and Tables causes submit button to gray out in ArcGIS Field Maps

CarlVricella — Thu, 25 Feb 2021 14:26:48 GMT

For some reason if you configure a smart form for a layer or table on an editable layer, the submit button will be grayed out and you can't actually submit the form when using Field Maps...if you just use the regular pop-up it all works fine, but as soon as you do a smart form it the button will be grayed out.

I know all my layers are configured properly so I'm certain this is a bug unless I'm missing something, anyone else have an issue with this?

Are you using ArcGIS Enterprise on AGOL?

There was a bug in the initial release of the web app that allowed geometry fields like "Shape__Area" in the form. In some cases this field was required but also not editable which lead to the behavior you describe. This was patched in AGOL and a new setup was hosted for Enterprise 10.8.1. Does any of this apply to your forms?

I have the same problem. The web map is on AGOL (using WEb map Beta). My layer is on my Standalone ArcGIS Server 10.8. In my form, I have a few fields set as read-only and a few fields flagged as required. If I try to edit the information in Web Map Beta, I can UPDATE my edits, but on the mobile app (Field Maps on iPhone 12 pro) I can't submit my edits.

Another issue I have is that one of the fields is a DATE field and I don't have to option to select "today"... So updating a value that is 08/12/2017 requires ALOT of scrolling 😞

Thanks!

@DominicRobergeIADOTwould you be able to share access to your map and layers? If so, can you create a group, share the maps and layers into the group and then add the arcgisfieldmaps user to the group. If your services are secured, you can DM me credentials if permitted. This will be the fastest way to debug the issue and we may be able to address it before our next release.

The issue with missing the "Today" option is already fixed internally and will be available in the next update in late March.

Hi Aaron

Done, I added your user to our ESRI test group, the web map is Ames Valves Spin Doctor Project V3 WMB and the layer with the form is Active Valves. Let me know if you need further info. Thanks for looking into this.

@Anonymous User...I am also experiencing the same issue where having a smart form disables the submit button. In my case all of my data resides in AGO. I have created a group and invited the user arcgisfieldmaps.

I can reproduce this with your map; I opened an issue for our team to look into. Please keep the map and layers shared with the group.

@JimWI see your two maps but it looks like neither map has a form in it. Can you check?

@Anonymous User Should be all set. The map with Smart Form should have the smart form, created by converting the pop-up and the No Smart Form does not. Let me know again if there are problems because I found I needed to refresh my browser in order to see things configured correctly.

Thanks, I can reproduce it on iOS. Please keep it shared until we investigate and fix it internally.

We have identified a bug based on the provided maps. The issue only occurs if the layer does not allow geometry edits. We have a fix and it will be available with our next release at the end of the month. @DominicRobergeIADOT @JimW thanks for providing your maps - I validated our fix against them; you can un-share them with us now.

I had the same problem today. Didn't notice this thread - hence created a new one. To add to this problem - even if I configured smart forms (resulting in greyed out submit button) - the Edit Multiple is not honoring it (displaying everything) and thus with an active 'Submit' button. So, this 'Smart Form' is sure the reason behind a greyed out submit button.

Thanks Aaron. What about the other bug - 'When edit multiple, the conditional visibility is not honored'? Will that be fixed as well?

As of right now Edit Multiple does not use the smart form. This is by design for now; but is something we may consider for a future release (not the upcoming one). Could you explain how you'd use this?

The same as you would do for single edit (not add - update).

I can give you a specific use case that we were looking for multiple edit to do.

This is for an Electric Utility - Vegetation Management. They contract out the Tree Trimming part to external vendor. The vendor will charge the Utility based on individual lines rate (based on Trim Type). However, the trim type is very complicated and based on combination of 5 different fields - Unit (line or brush clearing), Class (Mechanical, Bucket, etc.), side (for example, 1 side or both sides) Chip vs. No chip, etc. Moreover, the values they will enter for a later field will be based on the former value the had selected. For example, If they select Brush clearing, there is no chip or no chip option. So we will hide that field.

Before the start trimming for the year, the Utility employee (usually a Forester) will select existing line and enter these values in 5 different fields to come up with a rate for that line. Now, if a Forester select 1 line at a time and enter these 5 fields, it will take him/her way longer time than if he/she has the opportunity to select multiple.
