I can't believe that I didn't think to try that. Updating the source that way repaired the issue! What's odd is that I definitely had the itemID correct, because it is the same now as it was before. Must have just been a weird bug. Either way, I will definitely use this method from now on. Thank you for your help!

We have a public-facing web app in ArcGIS Online for our zoning data. In order to keep that data updated, we used to use a script that truncated the table and appended the most recent data to it. This was cumbersome because every time the schema changed, we would have to update the script, and it would also frequently corrupt the indexes, making the layer unsearchable until the indexes were rebuilt. We have slowly started migrating most of our key datasets to the portal to make use of branch versioning and to streamline the process of managing our data across both AGOL and Portal. I have migrated our zoning data over to Portal as a publicly shared, referenced (non-editable) feature service, so that the second we make edits to the layer, they show up. Since the layer is shared publicly, I used the ArcGIS assistant to open the JSON of the web map and replaced the zoning layer URL and itemid with the corresponding portal layer. The layers are identical aside from the fact that one is in Portal and one is in AGOL. Even upon opening the map, the layer loads perfectly. I can see updates instantly in AGOL, and I can search the layer. It is great. The weird issue I am having is actually on the item details page of the web map where the layers were replaced. All of the layers that I have migrated into this web map from the portal by replacing the URL show the following error: Parcels is the only layer that is still pointing towards its AGOL version, rather than the portal. I would really like to figure out why this workflow has broken the item details page, if possible.

Yeah. That's weird. On my end, using the above code only triggers the rule when the shape changes or the deeded acreage changes. Otherwise, it never fires.

Yes. Chat GPT ended up helping me figure it out! I ultimately came up with the following expression: //Detect changes
var geomChanged = !Equals(Geometry($originalFeature), Geometry($feature));
var areaChanged = $originalFeature.StatedArea != $feature.StatedArea;
var areaIsZero = $feature.StatedArea == 0;
//If the stated area is zero, let user set QAQC_Status Manually
if (areaIsZero) {
return "Unable to QAQC. New Plat needed. See comments on parcel "
}
//otherwise, if geom or area changed, run the QAQC test and set accordingly.
if (geomChanged || areaChanged) {
return iif(
Abs($feature.ERROR_ACRES) > ($feature.StatedArea * 0.10),
"Acreage mismatch. Deeded acres and calculated acres do not fall within OCGIS tolerance.",
"Acreage ok. Deeded acres and calculated acres fall within OCGIS tolerance."
);
} I have the triggers set to Insert and Update, and the only update fields are Shape and the Stated Area field so it automatically updates itself should the deeded acreage change. I've been using it for about 3 months now and it has worked without issue!

I've attached them. I ended up figuring out the problem, however. It wasn't picking up the curves because the deed didn't specifically call out whether the turn was to the right or to the left. I went and manually added that information and it began detecting the measurements. It would be nice to get some kind of documentation on what this tool expects in terms of formatting. I've had it fail to recognize several other measurements before due to comma placement. It works great as long as the deed is perfectly formatted. Sadly, a lot of ours are not. Thanks for the reply!

I'm asking specifically about the new COGO reader functionality introduced in 3.5. Unfortuntely this is from 2017 and doesn't address that issue.

For whatever reason it will not read the following " traveling thence along the arc of a curve an arc distance of 40.73 feet, said arc having a radius of 317.07 feet and being subtended by a chord bearing South 31 degrees 26 minutes 30 seconds West a distance of 40.70 feet to a point, traveling thence along the arc of a curve an are distance of 117.82 feet, said arc having a radius of 317.07 feet and being subtended by a chord bearing South 17 degrees 06 minutes 59 seconds West a distance of 117.15 feet to a point" Is it unable to read curves? There doesn't appear to be away to edit it in such a way so that it gets inserted into the traverse unless I am missing something.

Great news. Thank you! Edit: I'm guessing this change isn't in portal yet? I still don't see this option.

This same logic does not apply in dashboards, and it is very annoying. We have a hydrant ID that ranges from 1-4 characters long. If I search for a 1-2 character hydrant ID, no results ever pop up. If I hit enter, then it just takes me to the closest match. Never gives me a list to choose from.

I tried finding this bug log, but nothing showed up. Was any progress ever made? I'm having this same issue in setting up a search for a hydrant ID field.

I set up my collaboration this way without realizing that it would do that. Now I can no longer delete the version of the data that the service was published with as part of our reconciliation and post process. Is this intended or a bug? I don't understand why a replica is needed to make a copy of the layer to arcgis online.

I am working on a dashboard that will keep track of hydrant inspections. I have a few indicators set up that track the number of repairs needed, missing reflectors, etc.... I have set up a date selector, and this filters the data properly whenever I change the date range. Now, I would like to set it up so that when I select a hydrant inspection zone in the map, it shows me the updated statistics for that particular zone. So far, however, I can't get it to work. I have gone to the map settings > Layer Actions > Fire Hydrants and set up the indicator with a spatial filter. But when I select the zone on the map, the count changes to 0, even though there are matching records for the indicator in that zone. What am I missing?
