Learn how to reduce the file size of large video attachments before adding them to forms in ArcGIS Field Maps.

When creating and updating features using Forms in the Editor widget, calculated expressions can be triggered to populate field values automatically.

The challenge: values for fields with calculated expressions cannot be edited or recalculated on demand, while editable fields do not support calculated expressions.

A workaround is proposed in this article.

With field season approaching, we would like to invite you to a webinar on April 3, 2024, 8:00 am (PT) that will demonstrate how to maximize field efficiency with ArcGIS Field Maps. See you there!
