Thanks for the post @EricCollinsOVV, and for the pipeline example as well. We are looking at how we can satisfy this requirement within the existing workflow for collect.  Though not a solution, have you considered submitting the pipeline feature, adding the valve and then tapping on the pipeline feature again to extend it? It is a lot of taps but may be a short term solution - until we address the requirement. This won't work for polygon features unfortunately. Also, if you do establish a feature-to-feature relationship class where the pipeline feature is the origin and the valves are the destination class with a 1:M using GlobalID -> GUID, this should enforce the relationship and work. You can just treat the valves like you would a related table. We are also considering a rapid collection tool as well - where you you can tap the tool and it would automatically place the location with default attributes. Is this something that you all would be interested in? @AdamStewart - would be interested in hearing your workflow as well. Sounds like you've had to link between Collector and Survey123. We'd like to solve this within 1, map-centric app, if we can. That way you don't have to manage and deploy 2 apps. ... View more

Hi @SteveTaylor6 - with the convergence of Explorer and Collector into Field Maps, we did not want to change the default behavior expected for either app. So if you open a map that is read-only, it should open to the default extent that you authored the map to. If you open a map that you can edit, it should open to your current GPS location so that it establishes the GPS connection (especially for external receivers) before you start collection.  Opinions vary on the most effective method for opening the map. We'd like feedback on this moving forward. Please share your thoughts! Thanks, Jeff ... View more

Hi @TimSolomonson - this article may help you in how to extract photos from attachments in ArcGIS Pro. You will need to export the feature Ωservice as a FileGDB first. Then you should be able to use the photos directly within your story maps. You could consider using the layer in an ArcGIS Dashboard as well. Dashboards will recognize attachments directly. Hope this helps! ... View more

Welcome @BClaridge  and thank you for your post. Unfortunately this capability is not available yet. With the current support for Arcade expressions in Field Maps, we use the constraint profile and evaluate an expression for the purpose of displaying/not displaying fields. Use of the field calculate profile is on our roadmap and is perhaps the most important smart form feature for us to complete in 2021.  Please let us know what types of calculate expressions you are looking to accomplish. We are looking for examples to help us drive priority of requirements. Thanks! ... View more

Hi @bobwright - this is in our roadmap, yes. With our work in smart forms. we will be adding the ability to calculate field values using an expression. The FeatureSet capabilities of the Arcade expression language will let you do this when connected or when offline. Please look for announcements on this development work starting mid-2021.  ...

Slight update. We won't be in a position to provide a download of the web app setup until early in January. It will be available from the my.esri.com website as soon as we can make it available. ... View more

Hi @BertKraan1  - thanks for your feedback.  We are relatively new into supporting the Apple Watch. We added support for tracking into ArcGIS Tracker due to specific customer asks and brought that forward within Field Maps.  We document the requirements for watch here, and require WatchOS 6 or higher: https://doc.arcgis.com/en/field-maps/faq/requirements.htm Would really like to gather feedback on what you feel would be useful to do on the watch. Some of our team ideas include: - Display of compass bearing and direction when using the compass tool - Start/Stop streaming when capturing line and polygon shapes - Display of GPS information (what is inside of the GPS banner today) - View/Change working status when Workforce is added to Field Maps Let us know what you would like to see and how you feel it could benefit your workflows. We want to make sure to focus on purposeful enhancements. ... View more

That's great to hear @SteveTaylor6! Thank you for the confirmation that Field Maps is supporting your data collection needs. Hopefully you can take advantage of the new capabilities Field Maps can bring to your field workflows (like smart forms) next year. ... View more

It will be supported with ArcGIS Enterprise 10.8.1 in December. We'll provide more information on when/where to get the Enterprise patch when we release with ArcGIS Online. Look for the week of December 7th. Thanks! ... View more

  It's coming in Field Maps. You'll see it on iOS in December and then Android in 2021. Here is a preview of Dark Mode with data collection. It really does make the form pop.   ... View more

Thank you for the additional detail Ryan and I'm sorry that this has not been resolved. From the other GeoNet post I was able to trace your bug number in the system and view its details. I see that it was escalated as well. You do not need to submit another bug report, I will make sure this issue is re-opened as it has definitely not been addressed.  BTW - ArcGIS Field Maps is built using the latest, released version of the ArcGIS Runtime SDK and Explorer/Collector are using older builds - this could account for the change in behavior. We will need to debug and see if the issue is in the underlying Runtime SDK or if we can resolve it at the app-level. We may be reaching out to you for access and map. Thank you for your patience. ... View more
