Unable to Collect after building Form

AngieLangevin — Mon, 25 Jan 2021 21:55:03 GMT

Error Message: This form contains unsupported data.

I have an editable line layer in my editable offline map area. I can edit it offline by adding points, streaming and adding photos. As soon as I try to configure a form in the field maps web app, I am unable to edit the layer. After syncing the map to my form changes, I get a message when I try to collect saying "The form contains unsupported data".

I have double checked to make sure everything meets the requirements for editing, the permissions are enabled etc. Everything should work. I created a form based on the attributes in the attribute table. I only have one form element right now. This is a simple task that should work.. I am not sure what is wrong here.

Hi Angie,

Do you happen to have a Shape__Length or Shape.ST_Length or similar field in your layer?

Would you be able to share some screenshots of the behavior you see in the web and mobile apps?

Hi.

I have made a ArcGIS Field Maps map with forms created in Field Maps Web App. When I open the map in Field Maps online everything is correct, but if I download the map to make it Offline and opens it 2 of my layers have error message (Norwegian: Skjemaet inneholder data som ikke støttes - which in English should be something like: The form contains data which is not supported"). Is this a known bug? Or - have I made something wrong?

@JensKolstadcan you share the map and layers in a group and invite the arcigsfieldmaps user to that group? Then I can take a look at your form to see what might causing the issue.

How do I invite arcigsfieldmaps to the group where I have shared the map and the layers?

I believe I was able to invite the user arcgisfieldmaps

Thanks, I see the map(s). I'll look into it and get back to you.

The offline map is: MIS-NiN Offline_for_ESRI_errortesting

@JensKolstadWe were able to reproduce the issue and we have actually already addressed it, so the fix will be available in the next release of Field Maps web in late March.

The issue in this case was that the shape__area and shape__length fields were added to your form. These are special system fields that should not be allowed to be in the form (this is what was fixed). When the map was taken offline, those geometry fields are not present in the offline sqlite geodatabase. This is what was causing the issue. If you remove both of those fields from the form, it should work correctly. I was able to verify this using a copy of your map.

Thanks. I will change my form.

But - will it be possible to include the shape__area and shape__length fields in the future - to see the area created when in offline mode

It probably will not be available in the future. For the popup you could write an Arcade expression that could calculate the length or area:

Area($feature, 'square-meters')

Is it a requirement for you to view the area/length while filling out the form?

Hi Aaron,

I did have a Shape_length field in the attribute table for my layer, but not in the form elements. I deleted Shape_length as you advised, and tried adding the form elements again. I am still having the same issue. I checked for other geometry related attributes in the table, but there are none. See attached screenshots.

1. The layer's attribute table in ArcGIS online

2. The layer's form being configured in Field Maps web app

3. The error message and inability to collect upon deployment of the form.

This has now become an issue for me as well. I am not doing anything fancy with my form.

I created my form a while back and everything was working great. Now I added a couple of new fields to my feature layer (hosted through ArcGIS Server) and when I add these new fields to the form I get the same error: This form contains unsupported data. Luckily I can remove the fields from my form and it works again... The fields I am trying to add have a domain set up in my SDE and are textstring fields. Any ideas on what could be the problem?

I am experiencing this issue as well. Map works fine until I create a form for it in Field Maps.

I had this issue as well and found out that I had the older version of the app. I downloaded the update and all works wonderfully. Try updating the app on your device and try again.

Nevermind. I had the old app. Its working now.

Thank you! That did the trick 🙂

This is expected since there was update of the web app last night that now explicitly defaults coded value domains to use a "combo-box" input type in the form. So if you updated your form today but did not update the mobile app, you would see this message. Previously this input type was not supported in the mobile app. It's unlikely this specific issue will occur again. The mobile app checks if there are unrecognized properties of the form and will display a message that there is unsupported data in the form. This is to ensure that the form works as designed in the mobile app.

Hello,

I'm having the same issue. I try to edit the form, and am met with an error message : "Unable to Edit. The form contains unsupported data."

I'm not doing anything fancy with the form, just a few coded value domains and text boxes.

@Anonymous User are you able to take a look?

Screenshots attached of form & error message.

I am using the most recent version of the mobile app, and I am using the newly released WebMaps to make changes and edits to the map.

@VH_MapS Can you confirm you are using version 21.1 of the mobile app? You can check the version under the Profile -> About Field Maps.
