It is an error letting you know that one layer in the webmap doesn't allow editing.
I have tried to enable editing and still get this issue. Is there something else I need to do to get the layer to allow editing?
Hi @AllisonMuench,
Check the editability of the layer in 2 places:
1. The Settings tab on the Item Details Page for the Layer. Also check what types of editing are allowed. If editing is restricted (to Add only for instance), then the alert you see is expected.
2. The Layer Properties in the map
As the layer owner you have privileges to edit the layer whether editing is enabled, restricted, or not enabled at all. The alert is to inform you that your privileges supercede the settings. It is not an error.
Just to clarify, are you able to edit the layer?
Thanks for the input so far folks. Here's what that screenshot looks like for me, along with the other places mentioned:
As you can see, I have enabled editing but am still getting this error.
Hi Allison,
I'm having this same issue. Were you able to resolve it?
Oh my gosh. Replying to myself because I came across this issue again a year later and now am trying to solve for this again. It was working a moment ago and now it isn't. In between that time I edited the field display names, re-ordered them, as well as change the title of the pop-up. Now I'm seeing what AllisionMuench has posted in her screenshots. (As an admin, I'm able to edit in Map Viewer but when doing testing in Field Maps under a test account, I cannot edit.) I can't remember for sure but I think the thing I had to do last time was to re-create my view layers. If anyone has ideas on why this might be happening, please feel free to share.
The screenshot you have shown is NOT an error. It's a warning/notice that one or more layers in your map are not editable. This gives awareness to you as the map author, that the forms you may be configuring will only be accessible to you as the owner (or admins with full editing privileges).
From your post, it sounds like you have one layer that is non editable, so I would expect this warning message to appear.
It's difficult to assess the other issues you have mentioned or if they are still occurring. I would recommend ensuring you configure your editing first, and then work in one web browser window/tab to create your web map and forms. A majority of issues occur when you're working in multiple tabs and save the Field Maps settings then save the Map Viewer settings. Both these pages commit saved to the web map JSON, so doing them could give conflicts. E.g. if you were seeing the warning on the map after enable editing on all layers, it may just be you needed to refresh the page.
Let us know if this helps and if you are still seeing other issues like the unable to save.
Hi @AllisonMuench,
As mentioned above, the message you are seeing is simply an alert, not an error.You should still be able to edit all of the layers in the map.
Are you able to edit the layer(s)?
Same problem here. All layers are editable, and this stupid message still shows. FMDesigner has some serious bugs. Offline never works for instance.
