Preserve Related Records and Pop-up & Templates Configuration from ArcGIS Pro to ArcGIS Online

Hi team,

I'd like to suggest an improvement to how ArcGIS Pro configurations carry through to ArcGIS Online—specifically regarding related records and pop-up behaviour.

Related Records and Pop-ups
Currently, related record configurations set in ArcGIS Pro don't pass through to ArcGIS Online. While it's possible to manually configure pop-ups in AGOL for each web map, it becomes repetitive and time-consuming—especially for organizations like ours that use templates to publish field-editable layers.

It would be helpful if:

  • Pop-up configurations from ArcGIS Pro were automatically retained when layers are added to a web map.

  • At the very least, there should be an option to "use ArcGIS Pro configuration" as a default.

Templates and Related Record Editing
Another area for improvement is template behaviour. At the moment, related record editing templates must be configured in each individual web map. However, Field Maps does a better job here—it respects the template configuration from ArcGIS Pro even if the web map hasn’t been explicitly configured.

It would be a big time-saver (and improve consistency) if AGOL web maps could behave the same way as Field Maps in this regard.

Thanks for considering this!

Hi @tiztrain 

 

Good suggestion, there is a workaround for this issue,

which is to publish the layer in a map, with the pop-up configuration from ArcGIS Pro to ArcGIS Online, once in the online map you can save the web layer in the layers section on the left hand side,

This will save the pop-ups to the layer, so if you add this to a blank map it will have this pop-up configuration

Thanks for the prompt response @AlexHogan 

Good to know, don't ever use the 'publishing a map' functionality as it never fit our organisations use case, so never would have known this existed.

Any work arounds for the templates as well?
