Querying Records for Dynamic List - User Input

zjaffe_MapIT — Wed, 02 Jul 2025 14:54:47 GMT

Hi There,

I am trying to auto-populate addresses for the points collect in Quickcapture. To do this I created a dynamic list for a project user input button that queries the address feature class. I have ~1,500 records. I started running into an issue where the address I was looking for was not showing up as an option. In Quickcapture, it looks like the max count is only 1,000 records... Has anyone else experienced this or know of a way to work around it? Thank you!

Hi zjaffe_MapIT,

You might try increasing the maxRecordCountFactor setting for the feature layer to workaround the currently default limit of 1,000.

Update the maxRecordCountFactor property from "1" to "2" via the hosted feature layer’s REST endpoint using the Update Definition tool. This change should allow all features to be queried and displayed as expected across apps.

If for some reason that doesn't fix the issue for QuickCapture, I would recommend setting up a new case with Esri Tech Support for the purposes of suggesting it be added as an enhancement to a future build.

Hi Annie,

I found this blog post a while back and it worked! https://gis.stackexchange.com/questions/179017/how-to-increase-the-number-of-features-returned-by-an-arcgis-online-feature-serv
