Hi @Davis_Dad23 , If you are referring to branch versioning, yes you can. Inside of the Versioning section of App Settings within Field Maps Designer, you can choose a specific branch version to switch to for each feature service in your map. This post from @TravisSaladino highlights the experience added with ArcGIS Enterprise 11.5. We are planning to support defining a list of versions per feature service that the mobile worker will be able to switch between. With Field Maps Designer, this will be included in the 12.1 release of ArcGIS Enterprise and a future update of the mobile apps later this year will provide the ability to switch between that subset of versions.

Sorry for the delayed response @PeterKnoop, yes. You can manually add the typeKeyword "FieldMapsDisabled" to PDF items previously uploaded. Use of the keywords at the 26.1 release: The setting This is a geospatial PDF that writes keyword "Geospatial PDF" when enabled is only used by Field Maps Designer. The setting Use in ArcGIS Field Maps that writes keyword "FieldMapsDisabled" when set to disabled is used to filter PDFs in the Field Maps mobile app, can be used and set in Field Maps Designer. With the 26.2 release coming in June, we will add a check fo rthe "Geospatial PDF" keyword as well.

@jtmouw_NCDOT did the PDF exist as an item before the new settings were introduced? If yes, this is a known limitation with the release. To work around this limitation: Enable the "This is a geospatial PDF" setting, which will enable the "Use in ArcGIS Field Maps" setting. Disable the "This is a geospatial PDF" setting which will disable the "Use in ArcGIS Field Maps" setting and write the necessary information to your PDF item. If you have a lot of PDF items that need to be updated, we are preparing a python script that you will be able to use to update these items in bulk. These setting will be included in ArcGIS Enterprise 12.1 as well.

@ChrisBerryman tonight I submitted 25.2.2 (iOS) and 25.2.3 (Android) patches that include fixes for the search issue (BUG-000179817). Depending on the store approval process you could see an update tomorrow or Thursday. I'm going to put a new community blog out when they are approved so this information about patches is more centrally located. Regarding the duplicate layer issue you mention, this is in progress with our Maps SDK team but no ETA on a resolution yet. @RyanJalynskii the Apple App Store and Google Play do not support rolling back to previous version. @RichlandGIS can you submit this issue to Esri Support so we can track it down please? If it is only happening with some 10.9.1 map services, we'll need to sort out what's unique about them that causes the rendering issue.

‎10-07-2025

@chill_gis_dude our next patch will include a fix to search (on both iOS and Android). We're working hard on fixing these regressions as quickly as we can and appreciate your having put trust in Esri for providing a solution to your organization. Hopefully we can win that back.

‎10-07-2025

We're planning to support Association pop-up elements in the first half of 2026.

‎10-06-2025

Hi Jen. The 25.2.x iOS and Android releases are a major update and thank you for reaching out and asking this question. We've had this update to Field Maps in beta for the past 12 months as we've migrated from the 100.x version to the 200.8 version of the ArcGIS Maps SDK. As you will see from the posts and comments, it has been turbulent and we are working very hard to fix and patch issues as quickly as possible. We've released 2 patches on Android and one on iOS so far and we are not introducing any new features now until the Q1 2026 update to ArcGIS Online. Where we can, we are trying to provide affected customers with workarounds and be as transparent as possible on the issues and fixes. So to your questions... Can I still have users leverage the 25.1.0 version and there will be no disturbance in the force Oct 23rd? Yes. Are you advising Users to upgrade Field Maps 25.1.x to the recent 25.2.0 before the October 22 AGOL platform upgrade? Consider timing that makes sense to you and your field staff. The 25.1.0 version will continue to work after the October 22nd release of ArcGIS Online. New capabilities, like tasks, will require updating to 25.2.x. Some considerations: After a user updates, they will be required to sign in. Moving from 100.x to 200.x we were unable to migrate identity and need to prompt. What I would recommend is that you put in place a process for update where you avoid a situation where the app updates when they are at home or in the office, they get to a remote location and then start the app and are forced to sign in without any connectivity. Have them open the app, sync any changes while connected and then update. We have identified an issue with offline content from ArcGIS Enterprise that is specific to Android devices as well so a best practice would be to remove any offline map areas and download fresh when you complete the update to be safe. With ArcGIS Enterprise, we did not migrate the previous Portal URL used from the last sign in either and if they decide to cancel the sign in they will have to enter the URL again. Consider that either you can push the PortalURL via an MDM setting or provide a QR code generated from an app link that they can scan so they don't have to type it in. We updated our system requirements for iOS and Android. If you have users that can't find the update in the store, it may be that their device no longer meets the system requirements. Features that include true-curve segments are no longer editable in the Field Maps mobile app. If a field user selects a feature in a layer that is editable, but can't edit the feature, it likely has a true curve segment. We don't want to densify your true curve segments with an update. We're considering supporting attribute-only edits in the future. Barcode entry now requires that the form input type be set to barcode. You will need to update your forms in Field Maps Designer if you have not already selected barcode as the input type. As I mentioned above, there are several issues that we are working on patching as well. At this time, we're commenting on the initial community blog post with updates on progress as that is where most of the comments originated.

@DavidForbuss1 were you adding duplicate layers in your map to work around the lack of support for editing Subtype Group Layers in Field Maps? If so, perhaps you might want to consider changing the composition of your map? BTW, up next with UN in Field Maps is support for Subtype Group Tables (both viewing in the pop-up and editing in the form). We are planning to add this support in time for the next network management release (ArcGIS Enterprise 12.1).

‎10-06-2025

We have released the following patch updates: iOS 25.2.1 on the Apple App Store. BUG-000176361 - $originalFeature function fails during feature creation on iOS devices. An additional, internal reported issue found when working with tasks. Android 25.2.2 on Google Play. BUG-000179898 - Android in-app camera - attempting to use the in-app camera to capture photo attachments on some devices results in a blank screen. An additional, internal reported issue found when working with tasks. 5 stability issues reported through the Google Play Developer Console found in the following areas: Browsing for maps Personal Markup Authentication Pop-ups We're actively working on several additional issues you've reported with the intent to release patches as soon as possible. This includes but is not exclusive to: BUG-000179817 (Search not finding features) Authentication challenges (SAML, URI encoding) that we are working with our SDK development team to gain resolution . Performance issues reported with pop-ups Thank you again for contacting Esri Support and reporting your issues so we can track and notify you when we have them resolved. Please continue to follow this community thread for additional updates.

‎10-06-2025

Thank you for posting this and for contacting Esri support. We hope to resolve this issue soon.
