I am indeed using concat. I've experimented with all of the calculation modes, to no avail. I had hoped by forcing the calculation for the point whenEmpty (can't have it be always, as it could get overwritten, and it was defaulted as empty) would have worked, as it would have actively calculated, but it didn't really work as expected. Instead the map is hidden and you're just prompted to hit the refresh. When doing so the map appears with the point and the subsequent calculation works but it's not the behavior I'm looking for. ...

@DougBrowning Those are good thoughts. A few things: I did not have a relevant telling it it wait until the ${treatments_point} is not empty, but the parser didn't like it due to dependency issues. I did, however, add two dummy fields to extract the x and y values from the ${treatments_point} and it does, so the form certainly thinks the point has a value. I can also submit the form, and the point carries over, even if I don't touch the map. The other oddity in all of this is that occasionally I will launch the survey and it will work just fine without me doing anything. I can't find rhyme or reason to it. As the survey is launched from URL parameters I can replicate it, and one will work fine then I'll do the same parameters again and it does the goofy behavior. ... View more

Is it possible to pull the entire EXIF structure as a JSON? I'd like to have a note in a survey that tells users to submit a different photo if the right EXIF data doesn't exist. I'm only grabbing angle, latitude, and longitude, so could just key off those, but I'm wondering if I could key off the parent GPS data to check if any exists. ... View more

Replying to my own post in case this helps anyone...I at least found a method to do so in Python after the fact. Forgive me for sloppy code... import requests import arcgis from PIL import Image from PIL.ExifTags import TAGS, GPSTAGS, IFD from io import BytesIO import arcpy userName = '' print("Log in to Org Account") gis = arcgis.GIS("https://yourOrg.maps.arcgis.com", username= userName) print("Successfully logged in as " + str(gis.properties.user.username) def get_exif_data(self): exif_data = {} info = self._getexif() if info: for tag, value in info.items(): decoded = TAGS.get(tag, tag) if decoded == "GPSInfo": gps_data = {} for t in value: sub_decoded = GPSTAGS.get(t, t) gps_data[sub_decoded] = value[t] exif_data[decoded] = gps_data else: exif_data[decoded] = value return exif_data def convert_to_degress(value): """Helper function to convert the GPS coordinates stored in the EXIF to degress in float format""" d = float(value[0]) m = float(value[1]) s = float(value[2]) return d + (m / 60.0) + (s / 3600.0) def get_lat(self): if 'GPSInfo' in self: gps_info = self['GPSInfo'] if 'GPSLatitude' and 'GPSLatitudeRef' in gps_info: gps_lat = gps_info['GPSLatitude'] gps_lat_ref = gps_info['GPSLatitudeRef'] if gps_lat and gps_lat_ref: lat = convert_to_degress(gps_lat) if gps_lat_ref !='N': lat = 0-lat print(f'GPSLatitude: {lat}') return lat else: print('GPSLatitude not found!') return None else: return None def get_long(self): if 'GPSInfo' in self: gps_info = self['GPSInfo'] if 'GPSLongitude' and 'GPSLongitudeRef' in gps_info: gps_long = gps_info['GPSLongitude'] gps_long_ref = gps_info['GPSLongitudeRef'] if gps_long and gps_long_ref: long = convert_to_degress(gps_long) if gps_long_ref !='E': long = 0-long print(f'GPSLongitude: {long}') return long else: print("GPSLongitude not found!") return None else: return None def get_angle(self): if 'GPSInfo' in self: gps_info = self['GPSInfo'] if 'GPSImgDirection' in gps_info: gps_angle = gps_info['GPSImgDirection'] if gps_angle: print(f'GPSImgDirection: {gps_angle}') return gps_angle else: print(f'GPSImgDirection not found!') return None else: return None layerID = '' layerItem = arcgis.gis.Item(gis, layerID) photoPointLayer = layerItem.layers[] where_clause = "PhotoAngle IS NULL OR PhotoLat IS NULL OR PhotoLong IS NULL" photoPointFSet = photoPointLayer.query(where=where_clause, return_geometry=False) runCount = len(photoPointFSet) if runCount > 0: print(f"---{runCount} features returned that require EXIF metadata updates---") fieldsList = ['OBJECTID', 'PhotoAngle', 'PhotoLat', 'PhotoLong'] with arcpy.da.UpdateCursor(photoPointLayer.url, fieldsList, where_clause) as cursor: for row in cursor: OID = row[0] attachmentInfo = photoPointLayer.attachments.search(object_ids=[OID]) for attachment in attachmentInfo: downloadURL = attachment["DOWNLOAD_URL"] response = requests.get(downloadURL, stream=True) if response.status_code == 200: img = Image.open(BytesIO(response.content)) exif_data = get_exif_data(img) if exif_data: # exif = {TAGS.get(tag, tag): value for tag, value in exif_data.items()} print(f"EXIF metadata for {attachment['NAME']}:\n", exif_data) exifAngle = get_angle(exif_data) exifLat = get_lat(exif_data) exifLong = get_long(exif_data) if exifAngle or exifLat or exifLong: if exifAngle: row[1] = exifAngle if exifLat: row[2] = exifLat if exifLong: row[3] = exifLong cursor.updateRow(row) else: print(f"No EXIF metadata found for {attachment['NAME']}") else: print(f"Failed to access {attachment['NAME']}") else: print('No features require updating.

@DavidSolari Thanks for the comment. This is another unfortunate episode of Esri's platform being so disjointed...somethings work great in some workflows but are darn near impossible in others. As per this workaround, it's certainly a workaround but good lord is that cumbersome. I've done some tooling around with Pillow and have managed to get what I need out of a given image....but the idea of needing to pull down all of the images that need their data updated is such a pain. I'd rather not be in the business of needing to download hundreds of images just to get data that's immediately extractable if using Survey123.  ... View more

See the edit at the bottom of the post. Sub-Admin just doesn't cut it, even though there are delete privileges associated with the role. This was a while ago and I haven't messed with it since.  ... View more

@RemcoBr Did you ever make progress on this? I have a dataset that needs to be accessed from both Survey123 and Field Maps. I am struggling to get the Exif calculations to fire while collecting in Field Maps. My Arcade works fine when a photo is already attached, but there seem to be issues with pulling it pre-attachment.  ... View more

@JeffreyThompson2 is the workflow reasonable if you do not have administrative rights on your machine? I'm wading through videos and documentation to try and figure out where this slots in.  ... View more

I had to upgrade ArcGIS Pro and then create a new clone. It wouldn't let me upgrade the cloned environment afterwards. I stopped investigating as this fixed it and I could move on.  ... View more

@JakeSkinner Thanks for the heads up. You say 'you believe...' Who knows the answer definitively? ... View more

@PeterKnoop You were right. After faffing through upgrading Pro, getting my python environments switched out (since Pro wouldn't accommodate updating my previous ones), I now have the updated 2.2 version of the arcgis module which allows the email parameter.  So far it successfully created the account but there's not an email in sight. So I revert to my original question: is something like 'add members and notify via email' possible? ... View more
