EXIF data in form

[RemcoBr]

Hi all,

I am working on a quite simple form in Field Maps and trying to pull EXIF metadata of attached photographs into the form. This would be especially helpful for the date/time of the photographs. I am now using the simple 'Now()' expression, but this would of course return the current time (when one's using the form).

My current expression (see below) returns the correct value when I am designing the form. However, when I am using the Field Maps app on my phone and take a new photograph, an error is returned. Any ideas on what I am doing wrong?

var features = [];
var att = attachments($feature, {metadata: True});
if (count(att) > 0) {
     for (var a in att) {
          push(features, att[a].exifInfo) 
     }}
//return features;
return features[0][0]['tags'][6]['value'];

Hi @RemcoBr,

I'm not sure if this is possible in Field Maps but you can use a Survey123 Form for capturing points, data, pictures and extracting the exif data there and show the points with attachments and exif data as "normal" attributes in Field Maps.

@RemcoBr Did you ever make progress on this? I have a dataset that needs to be accessed from both Survey123 and Field Maps. I am struggling to get the Exif calculations to fire while collecting in Field Maps. My Arcade works fine when a photo is already attached, but there seem to be issues with pulling it pre-attachment.

Unfortunately, no. I’m still facing the same issue. It works fine for photos that are already attached (so in post-processing), but I haven’t been able to get it to work before uploading the photo.
