"Unable to Update Feature

The specified foreign key field couldn't be found."

I've been running into this error when attempting to add a related feature via url from a popup in my maps. The popup is on a polygon layer which is related to a point layer - both are in the same map, both layers are editable, and my foreign key field parameter is definitely the correct field name from the point layer.

I'm a little unsure of what might be causing this and I couldn't find much documentation surrounding the addRelatedFeature field maps parameter - anyone know what might be causing this error?

Hi Colin, that's a shame; glad to hear that it's being investigated by the team. Thank you for your help regardless!

Colin, is there any way to push values into fields for the new related record via the URL? I know this can be done for URLs that launch Survey123 using Field:fieldname=value but this doesn't seem to have any impact when used with the related records in field map URL.

 

Solved!

Never mind, I found the solution in the documentation: 
Field Maps - Deploy your map (Open your map from a link)  - found under "Initiate updating a feature" section

 

Sample of the expression used to correct curly brackets and include feature attributes, I added colors to help others see the different parts (%22 is html encoding for double quotes):
"https://fieldmaps.arcgis.app/?referenceContext=addRelatedFeature&itemID=0c900ae2a1084d27b608233921ef1a84& featureSourceURL=https://services9.arcgis.com/QjGvjfQhsHAmqfjP/arcgis/rest/ services/DamageAssessment_Apr2018_631d0895e7d3404bb78e8e04e92d896e/FeatureServer/ 1&featureID="+Replace(Replace($feature.globalid,'{',''),'}','')+"&foreignKeyField=globalid&featureAttributes={%22incidentid%22:%22527%22,%22inspector%22:%22Frank Jones%22,%22inspdate%22:1502917218285%22}"

This expression is then used as the link URL in the pop-up text box content:
<p>
             <a href="{expression/expr0} ">Add Inspection</a>
</p>

Hi Colin, Is it possible to pre-populate the geometry in FieldMaps by passing in the geometry in the URLparameters when referenceContext=AddRelatedFeature (Similar to how addFeature and updateFeature works)?  This would be really helpful.

Hi @FeichiShih2 , just to clarify, is the related feature you are trying to add another feature layer (not a table)? ie you may have a Feature to Feature relationship? Hypothetically it should be possible but I have not tried it. What happens when you use a link with geometry added in?

Regards,
Colin
