ArcGIS Online- Map Viewer Editor Form- Referenced Feature Layers Issue - Equivalency Issue

[Amanda__Huber]

Hello ArcGIS Online Team, 

It appears that there is an equivalency issue with 'Referenced' Feature layers in Map Viewer's Editor Form builder. 

When trying to set up a Map Viewer Form with related tables, 'referenced' feature services with related tables do not show up under the form's available layers when it's in the map, whereas 'hosted' related tables do show up. Below is an example for a hosted service, what we should be seeing for referenced services as well but are not:

Due to this issue, this limitation also affects the ability to edit related records in Instant apps as well since their forms are configured within this tool. 

Please look into this issue as referenced services are just as heavily used as hosted services and this is an additional Esri workflow that should be supported. 

Thank you, 

Amanda Huber

Update- 

We opened an Esri ticket and this appears to be an issue with Enterprise versions.

Map Viewer does not support Enterprise related tables until 11.2 , Currently we're on 10.9.1 . Map Viewer Classic and other JS 3x framework apps do support Enterprise related tables but with the update to the 4x framework/Map Viewer update,  it appears this functionality didn't come till the release of 11.2 (November 2023). 

Hope this helps anyone who stumbles across this and has similar issues!

Best,

@Amanda__Huber ,

I appreciate you sharing that as a Solution. In addition,  the services need to be Published to Enterprise v11.2 for the related records to be visible when editing the form/pop up in Map Viewer in ArcGIS Online. If they are coming from earlier version, an upgrade might not fix the issue, and we might hit the Limitation.

Hello, 

Updating this thread- 

We've upgraded to Enterprise 11.2 and we are now able to see the ability to edit related records.

For those who stumble across this, here is more documentation for this functionality : 

https://doc.arcgis.com/en/arcgis-online/create-maps/create-form-mv.htm 

Something that I didn't find clear though, that I hope this post saves you some time (maybe I missed it)-

When you're creating the form for the related table you need to:

• Ensure both Points and related tables are in the map viewer (this is documented)
• Add the related table to the form for the points feature layer (this sets up the form relationship) see diagram below:  
  1. Add the relationship to your parent layer form: 
  

3. Go to the table in the map viewer and add the fields to the related table & configure conditions from here

Once you save the map, the related table fields will be visible in other applications when editing the parent point layer's information: 

(add new record or edit existing)

Hope this helps someone who comes across this! 

Best,
