I was looking to use a URL in the popup of our plantation layer to launch Survey123 and pass the geometry across, but what I REALLY wanted was to use Arcade to not only pass the geometry of the selected polygon, but to also select all polygons with common attributes, dissolve those and pass across a multipart polygon. Doesn't seem I could make this happen. IDEA: Add a Dissolve function for aggregating data. I can see other uses for this type of function as well (i.e. reporting/summarising in popups but understand this can be achieved in other ways as well).

Looking at Data Pipelines and how it could be used to manipulate data and automate new workflows instead of developing Model Builder tools in ArcGIS Pro, but we found we were limited with few geometry modifying tools. IDEA: Add the "Dissolve" tool to Data Pipelines so that features can be buffered and potentially used in other existing (or new) tools. Our use case was to take a layer with lots of polygons (plantations) and wanted to dissolve to get larger compartment multi-part polygons that could then trigger (via popup URL) and be passed as geometry to a Survey123 form on an annual schedule for regular inspections.

Hi @BethanyScott It's not publicly shareable data , though I can share to a test group and add you - I just need your argis online username. I tried bethanyscott but it said that account had insufficient privileges? I've just done a quick test in Pro using Model Builder then adding the output to a map. The below screenshots show the results of doing a Spatial Join... ...using "Contains": ...using Intersect: Both the above worked well, but only included the intersecting features in the output dataset. So I've run it again with "Add Spatial Join" to create a temporary join with all Target features retained. This yielded a similar results as Pipelines (though some areas were left of and others were returned instead).

@SarahSaint-Ruth worth mentioning whether this functionality is only in Field Maps Designer and not yet in the WebMap smart form editor as well. Thats a lesson I learnt recently on another scenario regarding new fields, default values and feature templates. You don't see that stuff in the WebMap smart form editor - only Field Maps Designer.

@BethanyScott Awesome news. Thanks for the udpate.

I'm attempting to do a spatial join and unfortunately the 2 input datasets have different spatial references. This means that the 2nd is transformed to match the first. The data should align, but the transformation means there are slight differences. These differences are resulting in features joining that should not when using the "intersects" or "contains" options. In ArcGIS Pro, i frequently add a negative search distance to reduce the chance of overlaps around the edges, but this is not possible (yet) in Data Pipelines. I even tried the "Near geodesic" option with a negative distance (5 metres) but that results in an error when run/previewed. In the screenshot below, you can see the incorrectly join areas circled. The blue hatch indicates what should have been joined - the solid yellow areas have only joined based on the slightest overlap/touch at the boundaries. I even tried to include a projection step prior to the spatial join to remove the slight shift, but it made no discernable difference.

Pretty straight forward idea. Include all options that exist in ArcGIS Online filter expressions in Data Pipline filter expressions. In particular for myself, I have a dataset in ArcGIS Online that is a hosted view of a feature layer and uses a date filter [Date "in the last" 12 months. ] In Data Pipelines, this isn't an option.

Found the post I was thinking of. Turns out it was to parse a list of Field names to the selection list - not a list of attributes from a field. Use Field List from Input Feature Class as Parameter in ArcGIS ModelBuilder - Geographic Information Systems Stack Exchange Have found this one as well, but haven't had success yet in butchering it to make it work. arcgis 10.0 - Extracting by Attribute Using ModelBuilder with User Input? - Geographic Information Systems Stack Exchange

To anyone implementing this, don't forget to also update your feature templates in Field Maps Designer to include the new fields and their default values - this caught me out as I did it in the WebMap smart form editor (which isn't at parity yet with Field Maps Designer).

Regarding the login options you mentioned, I'm not permitted to store credentials in script (cyber security rules - I used to do it this way and it was a lot easier) so now I do use Keyring to manage credentials in most cases. I just haven't worked it out in all instances (that's where my lack of knowledge around the different modules as kept me back).

@AlixVezina I did set the default value to "No" when I created the field, but that didn't see to be honoured when creating features until after I updated the feature templates as well (which added the missing fields with the default "No" option).

I believe thats the bit of the code that tells it which map frame to look at. If you create a dynamic text element (any type will do) and then look at it in the Tag View, you should be able to see/copy the reference to your map frame.

@JohannesLindner idea of simply increasing the indentations is a good one. Clear separation between the check-boxes clears up the confusion. Overlapping check-boxes makes it too hard to discern where indentations align through the list.

I've just remembered another detail that "may" help. I've been using a mix of arcpy and arcgis modules and I can't recall which it is, but one uses my ArcGIS Pro login credentials to ArcGIS Online to access our AGOL environment. When running stuff on my PC, it would work (even with ArcGIS Pro closed) because ArcGIS Pro still had a valid connection to the environment. On the server though, I had not logged in (or had used a different account) thus the python module couldn't access the environment. It's a bit annoying, but I need to ensure periodically that ArcGIS Pro has been opened on the server using the same Windows login that triggers the python script in Scheduled Tasks and then that ArcGIS Pro is logged in to ArcGIS Online using the correct AGOL account. Maybe it's something similar with the ODBC connection?

@AlixVezina Screenshots below show the smart form config in the webmap, again in Field Maps Designer and the Edit Widget config in Experience Builder. I've noticed that there's a slight difference between the form config in the Webmap and Field Maps Designer though. FMD shows the default value property (greyed out) but webmap config doesn't. But that got me thinking, the other difference is FMD also has the Templates view (which the webmap doesn't) and when I looked in there as prompted by the little warning message below the default value section, I needed to update the template to include the new fields. Once I added those (and thus the default "No" values), it started working properly in Experience Builder and Field Maps! The only exceptions here are existing data that when edited, still don't have a value and it goes back to the "No value" combo box display (but I'll go through and update all features with "No" to get around that). Lesson learnt - do smart form stuff in Field Maps Designer. 😑🌴
