Thanks @AmirBar-Maor that does make sense. My request still stands that if we want to alter the feature classes AND the parcel type name property, I would like the parcel type name property to be exposed for update, either through the Associated Data parameter or a Parcel Toolset (maybe under Administrative?), so I could change it without having to open Pro and do it manually since our entire process is automated using arcpy. That's great they are independent but please expose it so I can change it in a similar manner as the feature class names that participate in the Parcel Fabric. ... View more

Hi @AmirBar-Maor thanks for taking a look. The background provided was to illustrate our overall process. We have a base file geodatabase where the parcel fabric is created and we copy those for the individual contiguous 48 states for processing our large amount of complex data in smaller chunks. That is all well and good and have no issues putting them back together again. The issue is copying that base parcel fabric geodatabase for Alaska, which has some differences and will remain separate from CONUS data. We want the same structure with additional fields, tables, relationship classes, but need to rename the dataset, parcel fabric, parcel type feature classes, and relationship classes because they will ultimately live in the same enterprise geodatabase and be branch versioned and published for multi-user editing.  So the issue is: We are successful at copying the CONUS Feature Dataset and renaming what we need to with the associated data mapping for Alaska, however it does not include the Parcel Type Names in the Properties of the Parcel Fabric as a parameter in the associated data string. We feel like the Parcel Type names property should match the parcel type feature class names as it does out of the box when created (see screenshot in original post for example of how it does not match after Copy). So if I then go in and programmatically list (arcpy.Describe on the parcel fabric) it will not return the parcel type names that match the feature classes I was able to rename in the Copy associated data mapping, and I would like it to. If the Copy tool's associated data parameter allows me to change the names of all of the items, including the parcel fabric controller, it should include the Parcel Type names.

I was searching on how to remove globalids and would add the use case here @SSWoodward - We are migrating into Parcel Fabric and in order to publish our data as a service, it needs to have GlobalID. A database developer had added a field called globalid as text and then the python script went to prepare the data for publishing and used AddGlobalIDs tool. This added a globalid column as globalid_1. I want to delete the text globalid field AND the actual globalid_1 field so it can be properly named. I literally just added it and need to 'undo' and 'redo' the globlalid without wiping out all of the data or going through a bunch of steps to export and reimport as there are relationships built to these tables, so can't just delete and recreate. And there are many of them, so literally if there are no replicas or other things using globalid, why can't I delete it more easily? ... View more

This is critical for the Forest Service to have the capability to input an extent through arcpy for processing. We are migrating our land records system national extent data into the ArcGIS Parcel Fabric, which crashes the topology engine when running the Validate Topology tool on the entire dataset. We used the Validate Parcel Fabric tool in 3.2 but that is deprecated in Pro 3.3, with the suggestion of using Validate Topology as a replacement. However, the replacement tool does not currently allow for processing by an input extent, so it is not a viable replacement for our large dataset. It was listed above as Under Consideration in 2022 and here we are in 2024 and it is still not implemented. We will be in a bind soon, when 3.2 is replaced on our systems with 3.3, and we cannot validate the topology for our migration into Parcel Fabric. ... View more

Thank you @SSWoodward - that is fantastic news! ... View more

@jschuckert Unfortunately, I have changed positions and am not working on this level of fun stuff anymore. I haven't heard of a workaround or solution to this but was hoping enough people would want the same functionality that Esri would add that functionality. ... View more

Esri please make this possible. Our organization uses MS Power Automate and we do not have access to Integromat. Please implement this with Power Automate without the use of Premium Connectors. We have a need to be able to generate the Reports when a survey is submitted and email them to a specific user. Our organization does not have access to Premium licensing. Thank you! ... View more

We also need Power Automate to be able to generate Survey123 reports in addition to the email on submission.  ... View more

I have attachments enabled and have additional attributes in the __ATTACH table. Is there a way to populate those additional attributes through a survey form? Specifically I have added PHOTO_CAPTION and would like the user to add a text sentence in the survey form to go into the attachments table with their photo. Is this possible? ... View more

So I took out the sumbission_url and published it to compare what fields were 'added' and noticed that there was a field named II_BMC_INSPECTIONS_V_count which was a count of the repeats in the related table. This field seems to be created because I was trying to limit the number of new repeats in the related inspections table to 1 by using the repeat_count field and putting a "1" in there, so the "add new record" for the repeat at the bottom would be disabled to minimize user confusion with nested repeats. When I took out the repeat_count  of 1 and tried republishing, it worked. I see this as a problem that restricting the repeat count on new records/surveys adds a new field. I don't want to track this anywhere, I just want the user limited to adding one inspection record to the repeat table for the new inspection. ... View more

How about if I did not add any additional fields, only notes that do not have a "name" column and explicitly set the bind::esri:fieldType to null? I have a survey that was created off an existing hosted feature service and have simply been formatting and grouping the fields into pages. I added 3 notes fields as mentioned above and sometimes I have just kept trying and every once in a while it works to re-publish, but most of the time I get the error. I would LOVE it if Esri could give the field that it's thinking is missing when throwing that error. I did not add any actual fields and I'm at a loss as to what the problem could be. I am using Survey123 Connect version 3.13.251 ... View more

@IsmaelChivite - I am trying to pull data from a csv file for inspections where the csv file data has a 1:M relationship to the id of the survey item. So for the current bridge being inspected, the related csv file contains multiple records related by that bridge ID. We need to pull that data into the survey for the inspector to use. I have seen this question for other inspection types from others trying to do the same thing. How do we reference the csv file in the survey's media folder in our javascript for using pulldata? Is this even possible? If so, another example in the Survey123 JavaScript sample showing the basics of how to do this would be incredibly helpful. Thank you, Christal Higdon US Forest Service ...
