Field Maps "Editing disabled" error despite editing enabled in settings

Hi ESRI community,
 
I'm running into an issue and am wondering if this is a bug or there's a weird catch I'm not getting here.  I've created a webmap with several empty feature layers imported from ArcPro.  All of the layers are editable except for one, despite the fact that I have enabled editing in the settings for each one.  I was randomly running into issues saving the form when I was building it, but those issues seemed to resolve themselves when I enabled editing from the settings panel of the feature layer.  Now when I try to uncheck and reselect the enable editing settings, I get another error message that the saved changes cannot be completed.  Maybe I didn't check a box before sharing from ArcPro?  I get this error message when editing the form in designer (screenshot attached):
 
Layer editing
Editing is disabled on one or more layers. However, your privileges allow you to edit any layer in the map.
 
Has anyone else run into this issue or have thoughts as to what's going on here?  Thanks in advance.
 
I have made the webmap available for offline, editable in collector and fieldmaps, all boxes are selected in all layers for editing, it is shared with just me and I am able to edit the other layers from my map on my tablet without issue.

I'm having this same issue too. Was anyone able to find a solution?

Hi @AdamGaudet

Could you provide more detail about the issue that you are having?

  • Are you able to edit the layers that you need to in Map Viewer and /or Field maps? 

Thanks!

I can edit the layer (features) in Map Viewer without any issue but cannot add any features for the same layer in Field Maps (though the layer is visible). (There's no '+' symbol at the bottom right to let me add features when in Field Maps.)

Hi @AdamGaudet

That does sound like a problem. I don't know of any bugs that would be causing that. Would you be able to reach out to ESRI support so they can investigate and help identify any bugs? Any information you can provide (including maps or data) could really help us troubleshoot the problem. 

Thanks!

Any solutions found for this?

I have a hosted layer and a view layer with editing enabled. Both work fine.

Every additional view layer I create states editing is disabled no matter what combination of editing permissions I add in the settings.

Very frustrating as we are now past the point of wiping the main layer and starting over.

Any resolution for this? I am having the same issue of having edit turned on for the feature layer, but no "+" symbol in Field Maps for our field crews as well. 

Thanks!
