I have posted on this in the past but never got an answer. I always assumed multipart support is long gone. But today I had a user that managed to create a polygon with 3 distinct, not connected, parts. I have been trying to recreate it but I cannot. I do however seem to be able to create multipart something according to Pro.
If a use a combo of adding points manually and streaming I can make some crazy shapes. It seems to let me do anything.
Looking at this shape in Pro it has 5 "Parts" listed. Not sure where it is getting this?
Actually designed this project to simulate multipart since I thought it was not supported. I posted a few times on it and never got a response. I personally do not want to use multipart since the long term storage and calculations can be a nightmare. I have dug in the help a few times and see no mention of it.
Would love to hear any ideas. Still not sure how the user got 3 in there. They were using streaming in Field Maps.
Thanks
I could really use multi-part support in field maps. I use it for mapping prescribed fire and wildfires. The ability to capture what actually burned as a single polygon feature would be very useful
Bump to see what has changed or any info 2 years later. thanks
I would also be interested in multipart functionality
I think a lot of mine tracked to a user appending in an old shapefile. Not positive still. Have not heard from Esri yet.
Mine is a mystery as of now, users have no options but adding or removing vertices, bit more advanced options such as copy feature or delete all vertices are not enabled.
We tried by using the streaming functionality and didn't work (thankfully I'd say). Since ours is an offline workflow, we tried to edit the same feature at the same time (both with the same user on two different devices or two different users on two different devices) and sync back at the same time but one overwrites the other.
One last thing I'm gonna try is to see if the issue is only Android-tablet related (the device they are using), as I could test it only on iOS phone and now got hold of an Android tablet.
Worst part is that since it was a test, our contact doesn't know who they assigned the user to, so we can't even track down and ask directly to the source.
