Web Editor attribute form is editable on non-editable layer when multiple features selected

mwartman_grey — Wed, 07 May 2025 13:17:40 GMT

When a user makes a single selection to open the attribute form on a non-editable layer in the Web Editor app, the fields are not interactive (ie. the data is view only). This is the expected behaviour.

However, when multiple features are selected on a non-editable layer, the form becomes interactive and appears to be editable, and a 'Save' button appears on the bottom of the form. If the user tries to save the edits, an error occurs so the data is still safe - but this just confuses users who may try to make edits.

ESRI, please fix this so that the non-editing setting is honoured in the attribute form when multiple features are selected.

Hi @mwartman_grey I suggest raising this with your local Esri distributor - they may be able to help log an enhancement request for you
