geoform

[SueCarroll]

I published a feature service and created a geoform based on it, but one of the fields in the geoform comes in as "required".  I don't want it to be required.  How do I stop this behavior?

Hi Sue,

When you created your feature service, did you create it from a geodatabase feature class?  If so, is the field marked as 'Required' there?

Finally figured out what was happening. When I published my feature class

in ArcMap I had symbolized the features based on domain values . That,

apparently, makes a field "required". When I republished it using a single

symbol for all features it was no longer "required" and I was able to turn

off that field in the GeoForm configuration. I guess a specified set of

symbols demands that a field always be populated. Once published I added

the feature service to an ArcGIS Online web map and symbolized it there

using the field values. I was on the phone with Esri tech support and he

is going to report it as a bug.
