Experience Builder has so much potential, but we can't implement it until a batch editor capability is added. It is so convenient to be able to select multiple features and edit their attributes simultaneously rather than selecting one-by-one.
@AlixVezina is the June 2025 date set? The date for this feature has been moved back consistently since they said it would come out in Q2 2024, then Q4 2024, then "early" 2025. I have a meeting with some municipal clients that are getting frustrated with not being able to update their Apps that we said we would need to do since 2023.
This may be a discussion held elsewhere. For Web Editor, I was told by CragiGillgrass that the ability to configure fields to be available for batch editing or ability to limit them is not available and isn't being considered for their June release. Per our comment and links, a form would need to be created for any layer within the webmap? How would you limit an attribute to be able to be batch edited or not and not just regular edited one feature at a time within a form?
Hi, original poster here. My colleagues and I are really hoping this June date is the end of this trial. I have migrated most of our internal maps to Experience Builder, and users are stuck editing one feature at a time for now. ESRI might need to learn a lesson I learned the hard way: under promise and then surprise with faster/better results. We've been hearing "next quarter" for months.
Per our comment and links, a form would need to be created for any layer within the webmap? How would you limit an attribute to be able to be batch edited or not and not just regular edited one feature at a time within a form?
That's correct a form would need to be created for any layer within the web map. The form you configure for the layer in the map will be used for both single edits and batch edits though. For any further questions regarding this, I'd suggest reaching back to the Web Editor community.
Hi Everyone. I have been playing with Batch Edit in Web Editor while this is a step in the right direction it is not the same as batch editor we had in Web App Builder. You can only edit one Layer at the time. In Web App Builder you could update one field accross multiple layers as long as they are configured the same way. Please try to consider this functionality and allow users to specify which field and what layers we are planning to bulk update.
Far and away one of the most poorly handled situations from esri to date in my opinion. I personally would love to know exactly WHY its been so difficult to add to experience builder. fFor at least 2 years now this has been a thing... At this point, no doubt esri is just trying to fit a square peg in a round hole... if so, they simply must drop back the sunset date for webapp builder until this is fixed.
not like I think he'll ever see this... but... @JackDangermond
Thank you all for your comments and attention regarding this feature. We want to assure you that we are taking your requests and suggestions seriously.
Currently, this feature is planned for the June release of ArcGIS Online and ArcGIS Enterprise 12.0. The first release will enable batch editing of attributes within a layer. We are committed to enhancing this feature further through a series of incremental updates. Thank you for your continued support and feedback.
@Jianxia Why wait until Enterprise 12? That's after 3.X and Web App Builder is retired and many of us can't migrate from Web App Builder until this functionality exists in Experience Builder. Is this tool really that difficult to develop? People have been asking for it for over 3 years now.
@Jianxia would I be correct in assuming that after the June release, ExB Developer Edition will also be updated with this functionality within a few weeks and batch editing will be possible with ExB Developer Edition and Enterprise 11.2?
Just so everyone is aware. You can achieve batch edit functionality using Web Editor Application however it is very limited. If you dont have any custom expressions in popup/labels or forms set ups you can only bulk update 200 records at the time. Otherwise limit is 20 records. I hope this limit will not be a problem in June release.
