Joe, thanks for the explanation of GUIDs versus GlobalIDs. With that in mind, why use a GUID field instead of a standard long integer of string field, since the geodatabase is not automatically populating it for you? Is this to get around requirements REST services have requiring a field of type GUID (but not necessarily GlobalID)? For instance, it is recommended to use a GUID field for the key in relationships between Survey123 inspection records and the assets they are inspecting.

I can verify the ArcGIS Solutions tools is the way to go. You can even define if and how to create new IDs when you use the tool (I preserve our Facility IDs as it is still the same single asset, but a new GUID gets generated for our REST service and for linking to our Hydraulic Model). But I'm wondering about the origin of you question, Brian: Are you finding that splitting the mains at the valve is a requirement of the tracing tool, even when your mains are designated as complex edges? I thought that a flag/barrier could be created at each closed valve even if it's not at the junction of two lines? (PS: splitting the lines at the valves was a prerequisite of our previous hydraulic model, but I'm wondering if it's not always necessary in a geometric network with complex edges, or even the new Utility Network).

I haven't seen this documented anywhere; do MrSID files need to be decompressed to be served without Image Server (or is it just the cached tiles that are decompressed)? So the storage saved by compressing as MrSID is essentially cancelled out by the size of the cached views?

Sorry to dig up an old post (I was referred here by another ESRI Solutions Engineer). Xander Bakker‌: Do you mean that instead of creating a mosaic'd MrSID raster dataset from individual MrSID tiles using GeoExpress, you'd create an ESRI Mosaic Dataset from the individual MrSID tiles using Arc? Then, you'd create the cached map service from this Mosaic Dataset? Is this just because you prefer the Overview creation controls in ESRI's Mosaic Dataset toolset, or is there a more specific reason ESRI's Mosaic Dataset will perform better than the GeoExpress mosaic'd raster dataset. FYI: I am looking at this workflow from the perspective of not having an Image Server License, just ArcGIS Enterprise (hence publishing as a cached map service).

I agree; this should be an enhancement request. I've been looking all over for where to turn this stupid field lock off from.

What's the status of this? I am finding that adding null string values to Category Selectors using the "+ Override" button is also not possible in Operations Dashboard.

‎04-18-2019

I'm trying to add a Category Selector to my dashboard that selects by "Receiver" from the GNSS metadata field populated from the Collector App. Looking at my data, the high accuracy receivers and the iOS devices populated the field, but if the editor was using an Android device (and the new Collector Beta for Android), the receiver field is blank (null). I have successfully loaded all of the categories that have defined values, but I would like to add the null value records and label the category as "Android". When using the "+ Override" button, what string do I need to enter to select the blank or null values? I've used "", null, {}, {null} and " " with no luck.

Can you recommend a free JSON validator?

I figured out I could manually turn of editor tracking on the layer, save, run the script, turn it back on and save again. A little tedious, but it works. Now I just have to remember! It would be nice to be able to include a "disable" and "re-enable" editor tracking function at the beginning and end of this GP tool. Maybe even allow you to toggle editor tracking off in the user dialog.

Has anyone figured out how to run this script without updating the editor tracking? I'd like to retain the editor username and last edit time stamp of my field collectors. I'm currently using hosted feature services in ArcGIS Online.

‎04-10-2019

The hosted feature service I'm trying to add pop-up pictures to is used by our staff in Collector. I can't share this publicly because it is editable. However, I made a View of the layer without editing rights that I have made public. When I try to calculate the Attachment ID as described above on this public view, I get: "Execution Error:Runtime Error: Cannot call member method on null. ID". (Yes, I filtered out all rows without attachments first). This is the same error I get when trying to calculate on the non-public parent feature service. Does this make sense? Can I not access the attachment ID because the editable parent feature service of the view is not shared publicly?

Yes, that does clarify it. I had not grasped that the dictionary is more than a list; it is a list of key:value pairs. And you can return the value by using the key with the expression “DictionaryName[key]”. Joe Bryant GIS Coordinator WEST YOST ASSOCIATES direct 530.761.0226

Xander, you're awesome! This is exactly what I needed. I hadn't thought of creating a dictionary for the correct answers. Very clean. I have not used the "HasKey" function before. This seems to be the essential piece of this script. When I read it and try to understand the logic, my head still turns in circles. I think it's going to take me a while to master that one. Hopefully others find this post and can benefit. Thanks again; you saved my bacon!

Hi, I'm creating a Scavenger Hunt for Collector use and want to be able to quickly grade the results in a Dashboard on ArcGIS Online. Contestants will be supplied a guide with question IDs and multiple choice answers. They will select the question ID and their multiple choice answer for each feature they record. I have all of the features, fields and domains created along with some test answers. I'm trying to use the calculate value function for a hosted feature service in ArcGIS Online to add a "Y" or "N" value to a new 'Corrected' field to indicate if they got they answer right or wrong. (This field will be hidden from them in the Collector web map) My logic is that I want any collected feature (row) whose QuestionID == "1" AND MultChoice == "A" to get a "Y" assigned to the new 'Corrected' field. I will list all of the correct combinations of Question IDs and Multiple Choice answers in this manner. Else, all other values will be assigned "N". I've been experimenting with the Arcade Expression builder box in ArcGIS Online, but it seems to be lacking in its syntax troubleshooting capabilities and I'm not getting anywhere. It doesn't seem I can evaluate a compound expression. I'm thinking I need to create a variable based on a filter (the easiest way would be all questions with Multiple Choice == "A" become variable 'MultiA', "B" becomes 'MultiB", etc.), and then evaluate an IIF statement for each of those variables. Any Arcade wizards out there care to enlighten me?

We're getting the same behavior - no longer able to open a shared map in Collector that hasn't had sharing changed. We also noticed that we can't select and edit collected points in the map. We had been using the new version of Collector for iOS, and Collector Classic on Android, and it was working in iOS but had the known issues in Android. We downloaded Collector Beta for Android and began testing that around the time these error began. If anyone solves this - please post!
