How are you downloading the data? e.g. ArcGIS Pro? From the Item Page in ArcGIS Online? ... View more

Thanks for the tip. I'll keep it in mind and pass it on to the author of this survey as well.  ... View more

Glad it helped. My other tip to add would be to add everything in your layout to a group, and then modify the border settings of the group.  ... View more

@WetherbeeDorshow  So you would have a calculated expression against the CurrentDate field (unless you only want manual entry to permit backdating in the first instance. The below will return the date and time if the field is empty (feature creation). If it is not empty (editing) then it will retain the existing value:   var cd = iif(isempty($feature.CurrentDate),$feature.CurrentDate,Now()) return cd   Then use the below conditional statement for editing against the CurrentDate field (which you can create without needing to write arcade in the expression builder (though it formats it slightly differently):    $feature.ChangeDate == "Yes"       It is behaving a little unexpectedly in that when you change an edited values toggle back to "No", it reverts the CurrentDate field to todays date, but that might be fine for you (leaving the switch as "Yes").  Curious to see if anyone else has another solution. I can't seem to make it work around the issue above without the default date calculation failing to run until the toggle is switched to Yes then back to No when creating a feature. GIF below shows intended functionality plus bug at the end.    ... View more

@LukeGilner1 I can definitely see use cases for this sort of logic in our workflows. I've already experimented with similar logic around creator name and current username. But being able to fill out the field automatically and then permit users to update it manually might be just the ticket I need for something I'm working on now.  ... View more

Yep. Thats the setting I changed (screenshot was in the "before" state). I've logged this with Esri Support. I've gone through the survey xlsx with a fine tooth comb, fixed all warnings and errors and made sure it's the latest version with no joy. See if they can figure it out! ... View more

Thanks for pointing that out! That is a bit frustrating, but at least a simple fix....or at least I hoped it would be! I've updated the setting however, I still get the same error. In addition to the previouis GIF example, I can see the points in the map but can't select them (despite being an administrator).    ... View more

I won't say no to know more about how you've automated it. That bit still catches me out sometimes.  ... View more

@Kyndabyt Yes, fair enough. It would do that still.  ... View more

Hi @KerriRasmussen I have a followup question for you. Once you have set a vtpk as the offline basemap to be downloaded upon first use in Field Maps, is there anyway to trigger a replacement process in Field Maps without having to go map by map pointing them at a new package? All of my testing seems to indicate not. The tile layer replacement process updates the hosted tile layer, but not the underlying vtpk (correct me if I'm wrong). If we delete the vtpk and upload a new one with the same name, this fails as it has a different ItemID.  Maybe it's possible to use python to script a method of searching for and replacing old ItemID's in the Offline basemap setting with a new ItemID? This could be done annually with a new basemap upload containing updated features (road networks and parcel boundaries for instance).  We also experimented with the "Update Data" option on the Vector Tile Package item page, and this only updated the version of the vtpk on the mobile device after all offline areas had been removed and the app closed then a new area downloaded. It would be good if there was a way to push updates to these files through so that users could "optionally" download the latest version (prompted to download an update now or later).  I also struggled to find any documentation around this Update Data function.  ...

@MelanieWawryk You may also want to consider creating a custom role within your existing organisation which doesn't permit viewing of content shared to the organisation. This way you avoid needing a 2nd org but can restrict contractor users to only the groups they're a member of.  ... View more

Our organisation is just starting to look at something like this too. One option is to get Contractors to pay for the licenses they need, but as you state, they aren't all tech savvy enough to run their own AGOL organisation. So that then leaves us as the intermediaries. I know it's possible to setup a user type (or Role?) that doesn't have access to content shared to the Org and instead only content shared to a group/s they're a member of. We would then be responsible for managing license acquisition and forwarding on charges associated to them.  A solution like what you've proposed (single user license without attached organisation) that can be added to an organisations group would be a simpler way of allowing us to invite external members and handling license payments, however I can see where the issues still arise around account security settings, preferences, role types and all the flexibility that comes with the organisation settings.  ...
