Thanks that's good to know as well. ... View more

Receiving the same error on a different project.  With both projects the exception is thrown when an edit is being made against an existing feature.  The edit is applied as expected but Collector then crashes.  Initially I believed it to be a connectivity issue but do not believe that to be the case any longer.  The log is as follows: 01/23/2019 16:49:28 | Critical |  |  | Application.UnhandledException | Arg_NullReferenceException System.NullReferenceException: Arg_NullReferenceException    at Esri.ArcGIS.AppFramework.MapPage.FeaturePopup.FeatureResultsDataSource.UpdateFeature(ArcGISRuntime.Data.Feature feature, ArcGISRuntime.Layers.FeatureLayer featureLayer)    at Esri.ArcGIS.Collector!<BaseAddress>+0x1491731 --- End of stack trace from previous location where exception was thrown ---    at System.Runtime.ExceptionServices.ExceptionDispatchInfo.Throw()    at SharedLibrary!<BaseAddress>+0x4511ee    at SharedLibrary!<BaseAddress>+0x451168    at SharedLibrary!<BaseAddress>+0x50c81a    at Esri.ArcGIS.Collector!<BaseAddress>+0x1490d36 --- End of stack trace from previous location where exception was thrown ---    at System.Runtime.ExceptionServices.ExceptionDispatchInfo.Throw()    at SharedLibrary!<BaseAddress>+0x4511ee    at SharedLibrary!<BaseAddress>+0x451168    at SharedLibrary!<BaseAddress>+0x50c81a    at Esri.ArcGIS.Collector!<BaseAddress>+0x1490498 --- End of stack trace from previous location where exception was thrown ---    at System.Runtime.ExceptionServices.ExceptionDispatchInfo.Throw()    at SharedLibrary!<BaseAddress>+0x69993e    at SharedLibrary!<BaseAddress>+0x497d7c ...

I have attached a screenshot of the error log.  Sorry that it is clipped a bit, I am using VNC to access a machine used in one of our fire trucks so I can't make the screen any bigger.  Hopefully this will be sufficient. I am of the inclination that this is somehow a connectivity issue but the error log doesn't make much sense to me. Thank you. ... View more

I believe I figured it out.  There were commas in some choices and the CSV created (itemsets) does not jive well with Survey123 if there are commas involved. ... View more

I was able to take this idea and also apply it to creating buttons in storymaps to use when creating bookmarks.  It's a little bit of a cumbersome process, but within storymaps you are able to effectively create bookmarks by using a "Story Action" to zoom and pan to a specific location whenever the text is clicked in the description panel.  When an action is created you can then go into the html source code and copy that code to be applied in the next step. I then created a button from the resource in the original post and put place holders in for the fields required except for the text I wanted in the button.  I then replaced the code that calls Survey123 with the code that is outputted when creating an Action within the storymap.  The code should look something like this: Notice the ACTION number.  This appears to be the unique number generated when an action is created.  Once an initial button is created the process can be repeated however rather than generating a new button from the GitHub resource, simply copy and paste the code from the first button and replace the ACTION number with the new ACTION number created when you repeat the initial step of creating a "bookmark" action within the description panel. The end product looks something like this: Without buttons: With buttons: Again, it's a clunky process but the difference between a button and simple text is worth the trouble, in my opinion. To repeat the process: 1.) Create an action (in this example it's a bookmark or jump to location action but I'm assuming you could use the other options as well such as switch main stage, etc.) within the details page of a map within a storymap 2.) Create a button from the original post via GitHub using placeholder values for all fields except the text desired on the button 3.) Copy the button code into the html source code of the description of the map within the storymap 4.) Delete the first part of the code that calls Survey123 and replace it with the code from step 1 which includes the ACTION number. The process can then be repeated by repeated step 1, copying the button code from step 4, and replacing the ACTION number and altering the desired text. ... View more

This is a great app, thank you so much.  It would be great to expand on this idea and add the ability to do some further field mapping so that other attributes may be transferred, particularly location.  I know how to do it manually but would be a nice addition to the GUI.  Also, the ability to give the user the ability to determine whether the survey is opened in the app or browser and adjusting the URL to do so.  Regardless, this is outstanding. ...

Was there any movement on this issue?  I don't need the level of precision as the initial post but would like the ability to be able to adjust the XY precision for locations passed into a survey from an external source as well. Thanks. ... View more

Thank you James.  That works great and it's good to know the other EXIF tags that can be pulled as well. The project I have setup also incorporates photo attachments using Collector.  Is there a way to access tags (and populate them into a field) for photos taken in Collector? To briefly explain, I have designed a project for our parking enforcement officer to use while monitoring timed parking spaces.  The parking space point feature class utilizes a custom URL to launch Survey123 from Collector when a parked car is initially inventoried.  The point feature class generated by the submitted surveys is then displayed back on a map in Collector and when a vehicle has been parked for more than the posted limit the symbology changes from green to red.  The parking enforcement officer then opens the point in Collector and adds an additional photo when issuing a citation.  To this point I have just been using simple dateTime fields to capture when the vehicle was initially inventoried (when Survey123 is launched) and then again when the officer opens the point in Collector when issuing a citation. Thank you for any suggestions you may be able to provide. ... View more

Are your layers that are hosted http or https? I have run into problems when trying to use feature services hosted on our servers that are not https as that's what AGOL prefers (and what all hosted feature services are.)  Since you are using server 10.3 maybe this is something to look at. Also, do you happen to use many filters in the web maps?  This is another issue entirely that I have run into with Collector for Windows.  It seems like there's a limit to the amount of filter expressions a single layer can handle.  However, when I have run into this issue I don't get the "Unable to access layer" error, the layer simply doesn't load. I was at the UC earlier this summer and spoke with one of the Collector developers about the short comings I've found with the Windows version of the software compared to Android (I don't use iOS much.)  He explained that support for the Windows version lags way behind that of Android and iOS, presumably because the demand for the other two platforms is so much greater.  However, ESRI has heard enough complaints about the Windows short comings (and also the fact ESRI stopped developing Workforce for Windows completely) and that they will begin ramping up support.  Doesn't do much for us now, I am bound to using Windows because the MDTs used by our Fire personnel are all Windows 10, but maybe there is hope for the future. ...
