Editing 'disabled' - even though editing is enabled

Kimbers — Wed, 01 Nov 2023 11:34:09 GMT

Hi all,

I have a layer that I cannot add to the Edit widget in Experience Builder. When I look at the hosted view layer in the map, it tells me that editing is disabled, however I do have editing enabled on the layer. I'm using ArcGIS Online

Map:

Layer:

Can anyone help?

Thanks

Hi @Kimbers is the feature layer public/does it have public data collection enabled? I also noticed this

Is this layer related to another hosted feature layer by chance

Thanks @bbollin

Yes it's a View layer. Neither the view nor the original layer have public data collection enabled

Thanks

@KimbersI'm assuming that the original layer has all the correct editing settings as well? If so, I would suggest opening a support bug so we can take a closer look

Hi @bbollin

No, the original layer is non-editable. I didn't think that this would make a difference?

I'm also having this problem that started after the latest AGOL update. A layer that was working fine became un-editable. I used a view to replicate the same data and form, set it up in Experience, and it was working fine. I went back in a few days later, and it too was no longer editable.

@CMV_Erikis your setup the same as described above? A view layer with editing and the parent without editing enabled?

They are both views of the same parent feature layer, but I have explicit permissions to edit the parent (editing is enabled, and I am a member of a group listed under "Who can edit features?")

@bbollin It appears this issue has reappeared. I have a parent layer that is editable and a view that is also editable. ( The view just has less fields than parent). Data Editors are unable to edit the view, but they can edit parent. In the future I want the parent to not be editable, so I need the view to be editable.
