Is it possible to maintain attachments from ArcGIS Online to ArcGIS Pro to publish back on ArcGIS Online?

Question

Hello All,

I have a survey I used to collect utility data that has a photo repeat.  I am able to download it from ArcGIS Online and get the photorepeat and photorepeat_ATTACH tables into ArcGIS Pro.  My issue is that I want to split up each layer into separate utilities, edit some attribute information, and re-publish to ArcGIS Online with all the photos attached in their respective layers and entries.  How can I do this?  It seems like I am not able to actually split up the main layer without lsoing those attachments.

Anyone have any suggestions?

Thanks.

Hi @KaitlynAbrahamson,

Survey123 uses keywords to maintain the relationship between a question and the attachment in the attachment table. When you export data and try to import into another format or back into another feature service, you need to ensure the keywords are maintained, otherwise the attachments will not be related to a specific question, just to the record.

Please see the following resources for more information:
