Field Maps - Not allow to update the location manually

[KumuduDesilva]

Hi,

Is anyone experiencing an issue in Field Maps where it's not allowing manual location updates, even when the setting 'Allow manual location' is enabled? This is a related feature class, data collection.

thank you,

Hi @KumuduDesilva,

Yes, I’ve seen this behavior in Field Maps with related feature classes. Even if Allow manual location is enabled, the option won’t always appear when editing a related record — it only shows when you’re updating the parent feature geometry. A couple of things to check:

• Verify the editable layer is the parent feature class, not just the related table.

• Make sure location editing is allowed in the map settings and sharing settings.

• Test on a new web map — sometimes settings don’t fully carry over after schema changes.

If those don’t help, it might be a known limitation with related records rather than a bug in your setup.

Regards,

Venkat
