Update fields 'userdeviceid' and 'start' when working with the inbox

corete_potagere — Mon, 01 Jul 2024 13:51:28 GMT

Hi community,

I just realized that the fields meant to return the user device ID, start date, and any field using 'now()' as a calculation don't get updated when editing records through the inbox. Is there a way around this? I assume this is a fairly trivial question, but I couldn't find an answer in the documentation or on this forum.

Many thanks

Hello @corete_potagere,

As long as you're not using the `start` or `deviceid` question types and instead are using now() or pulldata("@property", 'deviceId'), you can use `calculationMode=always` in the bind::esri:parameters to have the calculation update in the Inbox.
