Create Electric Junction Object using Map Viewer.

Working with 11.5/3.5.6, we have published a Feature Service containing an Electric Utility Network and a couple of ancillary tables (Premise and Joint Use).

We open the Feature Service in Map Viewer and then open the Joint Use and the Electric Junction Object as tables. When we toggle between the two tabs, both show a Create record button in the lower right portion of the Tables View form.

With the Joint Use table selected, clicking the Create record button pops up a Create Features form in which we can set values for several attributes and click Create to effectively create the new Joint Use record.

However, when the Electric Junction Object table is selected, clicking the Create record button pops up the Create Features but... this time all we can do is click on the map to create a spatial feature, but not the desired Electric Junction Object.

Is this the expected behavior?

Thanks to all in advance.

@JoaquinMadrid1 - I can confirm I see the Create Feature Form for the Electric Junction Object.
(Ignore the fact that we don't have any Electric Junction Objects)

Maybe I didn't understand the question correctly but it seems weird that you are prompted to create a spatial feature when adding a feature to the Electric Junction Table which is...a table.

Any chance you could share a gif of what you are observing?

Thank you, @gis_KIWI4, for your prompt response. I am attaching two screenshots, both of them after clicking the Create record. The first one, corresponds to Joint Use (non-UN object class). Like your screenshot, it pops up the Create features where I can enter values for the fields of a new Joint Use record and click Create. The second one, for the ElectricJunctionObject object class, pops up a Select feature type form, showing me the different feature classes of my (UN) dataset. The only option after that would be to select one of them, for example Equipment, and place the feature in the map... which is not what we need to do.

I hope these screenshots clarify. (NOTE: we think that there is something about the fact that ElectricJunctionObject is not just a "plain" object class, like Joint Use, but rather part of a Utility Network.)

Again, thank you for your continuous contribution and support to this channel.
