Hi @WendyHarrison . Nope. No bug number for me.

We have been using ArcGIS Online for a number of years now (since Collector Classic was new) with the offline capabilities being a core function of our workflows. We have many webmaps, feature services, hosted view layers and WebApp Builder Apps. Recently, I've started running into problems with webmaps not downloading in Field Maps that always have in the past. After lots of in-house troubleshooting and checking, I believe the problem is to do with differing spatial references amongst layers and webmaps. From here; Note: You must use the same spatial reference for the map and all cached services in the map, including the basemap and hosted tile layers. Can someone please clarify for me if this is a new requirement since Field Maps was launched? Also, does this apply to all layers within a webmap (not sure what is included in the "all cached services" part), or a subset of layers (we really only use hosted feature services and hosted views of those services)? What if a side loaded .vtpk was created with a different spatial reference? I've got layers with differing spatial reference layers that seem to have worked fine for a long time, but now I'm having trouble loading new layers into maps and their continued offline capabilities. I suspect things have changed which has made using layers with differing spatial references less functional when an offline enabled map is essential.

I was just about to suggest the free Bulk Rename Utility as a work around but I saw on my post you've already pointed it out as your current practice. We too use it to get around naming conventions that Pro can't deal with.

Thanks for the additional context. I've added my kudo to the post.

When exporting a Model Builder model to a python file, I've found that it includes all tool parameters in the export even if I haven't defined them in the tool. For example (and where I had problems arise), I have used the Alter Field tool in a model to alter the Field Name and sometimes Field Alias. All other options were ignored (they're optional or didn't apply - mainly the Clear Alias option). Data_Requests_7_ = arcpy.management.AlterField(in_table=Data_Requests_6_, field="OwnerSname", new_field_name="OwnerS", new_field_alias="", field_type="", field_length=8000, field_is_nullable="NON_NULLABLE", clear_field_alias="DO_NOT_CLEAR")[0] Data_Requests_10_ = arcpy.management.AlterField(in_table=Data_Requests_9_, field="Actual_Start", new_field_name="OpStart", new_field_alias="OpStart", field_type="", field_length=8, field_is_nullable="NON_NULLABLE", clear_field_alias="DO_NOT_CLEAR")[0] When I first ran the python script, I found an error occurred because it failed to set the field_is_nullable parameter. Once I deleted the parameters after the new_field_alias option out and ran the model again, it worked fine. Proposal: When exporting a model to python, only include tool parameters that have been purposefully defined, and not just assumed with a default value (above code would appear like the below example). Data_Requests_7_ = arcpy.management.AlterField(in_table=Data_Requests_6_, field="OwnerSname", new_field_name="OwnerS")[0] Data_Requests_10_ = arcpy.management.AlterField(in_table=Data_Requests_9_, field="Actual_Start", new_field_name="OpStart", new_field_alias="OpStart")[0]

I'm experimenting with the export model to python function in Model Builder. I've found that when exported, line 10 in the python script shows arcpy.env.overwriteOutput = False Is there anyway in Model Builder to preset this to equal True instead? When I run the model in Model Builder, this doesn't seem to be an issue, but in the python script, if I leave it as False, the script fails to run due to what I beleive is Intermediate data that hasn't been cleared after a previous iteration.

After reading this post (Export Multiple Single PDFs By Group From ArcGIS Pro Map Series), it prompted me to post about another enhancement I've been thinking about. In addition to being able to include the Map Series Group name in the file name, it would be handy if we could control the positioning of the page name in the final output file name. Instead of having the Page name added to the output file name as a suffix only, it would be good if this could be moved into it's own tool parameter (as check boxes) with the following additional options; Prefix Suffix At Character [##] (with input box for character number) The 3rd option would mean we have to do less bulk document renaming after exporting to suit our document naming conventions where we start with (or a filename contains midway through) a Plantation name, but ArcGIS Pro only lets us include that as a suffix. A demonstration scenario is shown below. Currently, exporting files and including the Page Name in this case which is repeated for different plantations results in the repeated numbers being overwritten by latter plantations. Including the Group name would fix this. Selecting the Map Series Groups (or pages within groups) And you could select from the following options;

I think I understand what is being suggested here. Instead of selecting 'Single PDF' and getting one document with many pages and a file name as entered in the File path parameter, you want the document to pull the file name from the Map Series Group of the selected pages. I see this working in a way that instead of only having the 3 current options (Single PDF / Multiple PDFS - Page Name as suffix / Multiple PDFs - Page Number as suffix), you would have additional options available such as; 'Multiple PDFs - Group Name as suffix' (where it would export all pages in a selected Group to a single document with that groups name, and then repeat for any other selected groups) 'Multiple PDFs - Group and Page Name as suffix (where each page would come out individually as per current Multiple options but with both the Group Name and Page Name in the file name. These options I see being particularly handy for where your Grouping function is identifying separate document areas (in our use cases a plantation) and then there are pages listed for each plantation (i.e. compartments). We want to distribute the plantation level documents to staff and file individually and currently need to merge single PDFs together if run in bulk, or export a selection of pages one plantation (Group) at a time. Additionally, I believe we could be given a bit more control over then naming options (i.e. where the page name/number is positioned instead of just as a suffix (i.e. as a prefix or inserted at character # in File name) but I'll post this up in a separate post (Provide more options for naming files when exporting a Map Series ).

Turns out it was layer issues. No matter how many records I tried to delete, or how I tried to delete them, it wouldn't let me. Have deleted the layer in ArcOnline and published a complete new one and now the tool works (although yet to try on 20,000+ records).

I'm using Model Builder to modify data that exists locally on our server plus also in ArcOnline. I'm at the pointy end now and nearly finished, but have hit the below snag when trying to delete rows from a hosted feature layer. I've definitely got Edit permission and I've looked up the ERROR 160203 link (which was pretty much useless). Can anyone think of a cause/solution for this? I'm really wanting to utilise the improved Append function of V2.8 to update our AGO datasets which we currently update manually due to the old append timing being extremely slow (and sometimes timing out). Some additional context: It looks like it might be related to the volume of data being deleted (approx. 23,000 rows) it appears to work ok on ArcOnline hosted feature layers with 588 rows in them without issue (still a bit slow at 3 min 22 secs compared to 9.61 seconds to Append the same amount of data). Whatever was done to the Append tool to make that work better needs to be applied here too!

@KoryKramer I only mentioned comparing schemas and sorting as an issue because in my current use case, I'm trying to setup the Delete Fields tool to delete a lot of fields so that the output matches an existing dataset (rebuilding an ArcMap model in ArcGIS Pro). Having the fields sorted in the Delete Field tool the same way they display in the Fields view of the other layer would make figuring out which ones needed to go a lot easier. Because one was sorted by the layer schema (Fields view of existing layer) and the other alphabetically (Delete Fields window modifying new layer), I had to keep moving up and down the list to select the fields to delete. Normally, the Fields view is my go to resource and find that a much better way to manage fields than how it was in ArcMap by a long shot.

@KoryKramer @DanPatterson Thanks to both of you for your assistance. I see now I missed a critical part in Dans original replies to myself. I was clicking the wrong drop down and wasn't seeing the Add Many option. I can confirm that it does appear. It seems a bit counter intuitive having that option buried behind a button. As a suggestions, why not jsut list all of fields like in the Add Many option and you just check the ones you want to delete instead of having to then select Add and then repeat if you've missed some (or having to click the delete option to remove fields from the list). It would also make it easier instead of having to scroll up and down a long list if you can then drag the window to be taller and display more fields before needing to scroll (like below). Also, the current Add Many option lists fields by alphabetical order. This isn't very helpful when comparing 2 sets of fields. Wouldn't sorting them by the input schema be a better option?

It does give me al ist of fields, but when I select one, another blank line appears and I have to drop the list down again and pick the next field, and then again and again and again... No check boxes appear as in your picture (which is what I want).

‎05-24-2021

Yep - still coming up with a table in a GDB. And that is straight through Pro (not in Model Builder).

‎05-24-2021

Nope - I don't see that layout at all. (Yes - running 2.8)
