Editing related records in Instant Apps

Question

With the new Manager app out of beta, I am testing out some workflows where we need to edit data including related records. It seems to work fairly well in the Smart Forms/editor window when editing an existing related record. However, I cannot create a new related record like I can in Map Viewer or Field Maps.

Also, when selecting a related record in the table, it does not "Zoom to" the feature nor does it show the parent feature in the editor. This makes it hard to work from the related records table and then identify and modify the parent feature itself.

Secondary question: Are there other ways that we can more easily work with features and related records within the ArcGIS environment?

Hi Julia

I've just come across this thread and I have some additional feedback on the Manager app template. It would be great if it were possible to edit multiple records at once. For example, I have a list of properties and I would like my users to be able to add info about their type and other attributes. It would be much quicker for them to select many properties which have the same type, and add the type in one go. This doesn't currently seem to be possible.

Thank you

Lara
