Maybe in about five years we'll see this "enhancement". ... View more

A few more things to add. In the Field Maps (version 22.3.1 on iOS) app, behavior is normal. Behavior in the data table is also odd. The attached graphic shows this. Zero features but records are shown in the table?   I opened ESRI case # 03338055 about this issue. ... View more

I have seen the same issue with hosted feature layers in AGOL. I used "Pro" to delete about 1500 records using the Delete Features GP tool. 5-10 minutes later they still show up in MapViewer Classic both on the map and in the table.  MapViewer does not show the points on the map but shows them in the table. One hint that this is a barely supported operation is the lack of a Delete or Truncate function in AGOL. That's why I did this in Pro. ... View more

Ottar, Have you tried this workflow with the Android version of Field Maps with the logs enabled? Sometimes the Android version of Field Maps produces helpful log messages while the iOS version does not.  ... View more

I don't know the answer but here's something to consider. Have you tried switching to "A custom attribute display" with the MapViewer Classic pop-up settings or using Form Builder in Map Viewer? I agree with you about the default area being displayed in Field Maps. Many times it is not helpful. ... View more

So this is an improvement over ArcMap, that we cannot switch between relative and absolute paths?  This "idea" was posted 3.5 years ago. It would sound like we are stuck without the ability to switch. Have the people who designed this product never worked in a corporate environment? ... View more

BarrettLewis1: it sounds like you have found the solution which avoids the new system of Forms. Open the map in MapViewer Classic, choose which fields are to be editable in the pop-up configuration, save the map. When re-opening the map in the new MapViewer, watch for layer ordering that had gotten shifted around by MapViewer Classic. After saving in MapViewer Classic, I have had to come back to the new MapViewer, put the layer ordering back to the way it was then save again. ... View more

William, Are your web services coming from AGOL or from your ArcGIS Server instance? You might try turning on logging in Field Maps, clear the logs if necessary, reproduce the freeze then go look at the logs. If you are using ArcGIS Server, set logging to Debug then reproduce the error, then go look at the logs for that service or services. Generally speaking, the newest mobile app (currently Field Maps) has trouble spots where there is newer functionality. I have gone back to Collector or Collector Classic to get around problems with relationships. Sometimes one of those two apps will reveal something about a problem that the newest mobile app doesn't uncover. I don't know if the two older apps will help if you are using global IDs as the key to your relationships. Of course, Field Maps expressions won't be supported by the older apps. These are not ideal solutions but when I don't have a week for technical support to work on the issue, the older apps can be a Godsend. ESRI has pulled both Collector apps from the Google and iOS app stores so they can be hard to get. ... View more

Jacob, this may be related to the issue you've seen. I have seen that Z values do not get updated while trying to update a point using an R2 GNSS unit and the Update Point button when using Field Maps and Trimble Mobile Manager. The GNSS metadata remains intact. The workflow goes like this: first, get the GNSS unit powered up and connected, open Field Maps, open the map, tap an existing point which has a Z value already assigned, scroll down to the edit button, tap the Update Point button, then tap Submit. The Z value does not change. This can  be seen by checking it with ArcMap (if you don't have an expression setup to show the Z values in ArcGIS Online). We did some testing with the Collector app. It was able to update Z values on existing points which already had Z values assigned. If you can find a device that still has Collector installed, this may be a helpful test. I have found the older apps (Collector, Collector Classic) to be helpful diagnostic tools when the current app (Field Maps) has trouble. This issue is filed with ESRI technical support under case # 03253130. ... View more

It only took a little less than two years to decide that something as basic as UNC file path support might be helpful. ... View more

I came across this same issue. I put in a support request with with ESRI, case # 03121376. I think what we end up with here is tessellated curves in the shape column and true curves (arcs) in the GDB_GEOMATTR_DATA column. I think this is how ESRI software handles the two columns: If GDB_GEOMATTR_DATA contains a value, read that, if not, read the shape column. Even if this binary data in the GDB_GEOMATTR_DATA column could be converted to a CircularString or CompoundCurve and put into the shape field, would ESRI products be able to read those records? It would be helpful if we could get at the GDB_GEOMATTR_DATA column with database spatial functions.

This is marked as solved but the last post indicates that it may not be. Is it the case that the original map document cannot be saved? I noticed that ArcCatalog's Set Data Source does not save the original but instead saves a copy. Maybe writing a new map document would be a workaround (less than ideal). ... View more

Would someone mind validating that the Roads and Highways ArcGIS Server Extension is needed to make linear referencing available in ArcGIS Field Maps? ... View more

There is no need to migrate. Relationships were established using text data type primary and foreign keys. Hoping to find out-of-the-box tools to migrate to global ID-based relationships. ... View more
