this post may be helpful for you in planning out your process. This also covers what you are seeing above. Also, to my knowledge, having the index being set to unique enforces there not being duplicates, but even if the index on a Global ID field is non-unique, the Global ID values are expected to be unique because of the GUID generation process. I mean, you can create your own UUID's all day long w/o the attribute index and (see previous citations about uniqueness) not worry.   def CalcGUID(): import uuid return '{' + str(uuid.uuid4()).upper() + '}'   You could always capture your GlobalID's in an alternate UUID/GUID field if you need to actually keep them. [If you read the various supporting documentation via the thread I provided you, you will see the details about when/how GlobalID's can be preserved]. ... View more

The chance of a collision for UUIDs is so low it is hard to comprehend (especially within one database/dataset). ... View more

Bump. I'm surprised Field Maps doesn't support multiple label classes. ... View more

Could you cite the source suggesting where Global IDs are not unique? ... View more

@ClayDonaldsonSWCA definitely identifies some of the potential outcomes of this... Potential Pandora's box That said You could probably set up a geoprocessing tool exposed as a widget that would let users interactively select some kind of queries to identify either what layers they wanted to see or what a filtered layer they would want to see you to create a one-off web map that's offline enabled. I'm currently working on establishing an automated process for one-off offline enabled webmaps for our organization as well. Fortunately for us, so far, the procedure of requesting a new job/activity allows me to link in the automation of a new custom web map (we obviously don't want to burden users with web map creation). But my suggested solution above warrants great caution, you don't want to end up with the sorcerer's apprentice! From a governance standpoint you would obviously have to have some kind of policy about the lifespan of these things or some kind of feedback loop to let you know that these things aren't needed anymore. Just shooting from the hip here. I think my idea for the he GP service is valid but you'd need to consider consequences of this kinda tool. Maybe evaluating business process/policy is a good first step... Z ... View more

I ended up using my old school way of doing this with Word mail merge.  Clever! yes, those tools are in Pro. We've found reporting a bit clunky, but it would get the job done. If you are doing this process often could be worth exploring. ... View more

so I'd be curious to see screenshots & other details of your attempted implementation It's literally the most vanilla testing. This is not a single label from 2 fields. This is 2 labeling classes, one field for each. I'm testing in a connected/online environment and it's still failing in Field Maps app. ... View more

I don't see why they can't just add a new field at the HFL level, make a join, and yard over the values from th external spreadsheet and then just proceed with developing a Report or the Export Attachments GP tool...but I'm making some interpretations based on what the OP provided. ... View more

You should be able to just work with the collected data via the hosted feature layer. I'm not sure what you could base the join on (FID/OID/GUID) but from there you could get the unique ID field you added in the spreadsheet of you can establish the relationship. I Don't quite understand adding the unique ID outside of the HFL but I may be misinterpreting things. From there I believe the new Export Attachments GP Tool (3.3.x) or creating a Report with the photos/attachments would do what you are looking for. ... View more
