I can get a default value in the geopoint using the calculation field.  For example "45.637665 -122.671670" But then it always goes to that point and ignores the GPS.  Can I so something where the GPS is used if it has it but if null it uses a default point? I have tried if(${GPS}= '0 0',"45.637665 -122.671670",${GPS}) if(${GPS}= '',"45.637665 -122.671670",${GPS}) with no luck.  Any hints?  Thanks I am using 1.8.27. ... View more

I build a lot of these.  I have found that the Create Map Tile Package is the only one that works fully.  Its slow but works pretty much every time.  Make sure to use Mixed.   I have 5 open bugs with Esri on this but they have been open over a year with not fix so far.   If you want lots of detail check out this post  https://community.esri.com/people/Yovavzsystematics-co-il-esridist/blog/2014/08/26/cache-and-tpk-without-arcgis-for-server-workflos-for-desktop-users  ...

Well I guess I was just missing a ).  You can just nest a if in the no condition. ... View more

I asked about this many months ago too.  The issue I see with your method is what if you are offline?  The value reload would have to be done on a form refresh or something while you were connected to the net. ... View more

What is really tricky for us is when the multiple answer choices all have spaces in them.  Survey123 requires you to not have spaces and then uses domains to flip.  But this does not work with multiple answer questions.  So now we have a big blob of text with no spaces and separated by commas.  Post processing is the only idea we have had so far also. ...

I am fine with all those entries.  Because what is my alternative - Never have spaces in a pick list ever?  That would be weird. Is the no spaces thing a XLS rule?  Seems strange to have to worry about spaces in 2016.  This may seem small but it makes the form look terrible and may kill our project. ... View more

Just tested 10.5 Prerelease. Looks like they did fix the attribute table domain flip for single values but not for when it has a multivalue or multivalue option.  Is that a Survey123 issue though?? Also it looks like when using Data Driven pages no fields values will show up at all. It just always says empty. Seems simple but does not work.  Sigh. thanks ... View more

I get a better error now.  I can send you all the inputs but I do not want to post it.  Can i send it privately? ... View more

Got the official back from support.  It is a bug.  Bummer. Thank you for the table and the time to preform testing and research. I have a conclusion for you. both behaviors are related to defects. here is the breakdown. 1) HFS in attribute table displaying domains,  -Logged Defect - BUG-000092872 - Domain descriptions are replaced with coded values when opening a feature service in ArcGIS for Desktop. -Status - This was addressed and Implemented in 10.5 (next release) -Workaround in 10.4 - Create local copy for editing > Enable coded descriptions > Refresh the attribute table. 2) HFS in Data driven pages insert attribute in the layout view. -Logged Defect - NIM097640 - In the layout view, the dynamic text shows only the code instead of the code description when the data source is a feature service on ArcGIS online. -Status - New -Workaround: none ...

Getting an error.  It makes nothing in the sde DB. Thanks ... View more

Yep that was it I was in 10.2.2. What does Destination Workspace and Destination Prefix want?  There is no help on the field and Workspace will not take a FC inside a .sde connection.  Does it mean Workspace is the root .sde and Prefix is the FC?  Thanks ... View more

Yea that is the classic way to do it but it causes the two fields issue which then becomes a constant pain when doing symbology or any type of reporting or when I use my technique to kick out a pdf.  I was hoping that using the built in function would get around this. I still think having all those fields named Specify other. should be changed. ... View more

Number 1 is not an option.  I have a mxd with the HFS connected to Data Driven pages.  A downloaded copy would require adding the download copy to the map then relinking DDP.  All of this would throw scripting out the window. Number 2 maybe.  Will have to see how DDP reacts to that and what changes i need to my script.  I will test and report back.  We were kinda waiting on Portal replication for this option.  I know syncing to a HFS is big on a lot of peoples list. I just downloaded your script and the toolbox is empty... mistake? Thanks ... View more
