The Batch Attribute Editor widget is not always reliable with regards to data integrity:

  • Data can be saved even if mandatory fields contain null values, this should not be allowed: if it is not allowed when you edit a single record, why is it allowed when you edit multiple records? Please help us channel our users in producing clean and complete data!

  • Subtypes are not fully respected: cascading attribute values (or properties: subtype-specific domains) that depend on the subtype is not effective.

  • Data that is not visible on the map can be selected and edited. This door opens wide to data edition errors/accidents, please prevent such risks!

Could these data management consideration enter the widget's roadmap? at stake: data integrity and data edition efficiency.

Many thanks!

Hélène.

Good morning,

 

We have recently installed ArcGIS Enterprise version 10.8.1 and this bug is still active.

Is there any way to know  whether it will be adressed in future releases?

 

Many thanks,

 

Hélène.

@HélèneTouyéras I believe "Data that is not visible on the map can be selected and edited." is now resolved since the April 2021 update of ArcGIS online.
Unfortunately, I believe the other issues are still present (e.g. if the required field was already empty, you will be able to preserve the existing "empty" value).

Hi @HélèneTouyéras , not sure if this part was answered:

  • Subtypes are not fully respected: cascading attribute values (or properties: subtype-specific domains) that depend on the subtype is not effective.

Full support for Subtypes will not be implemented in Web AppBuilder. Support is being added to the new Map Viewer and other tools and products of the same generation.
