@MikeMinami , regarding your comment. If you want to set the default value for a field, you need to do so on the feature template used to create features. Map viewer classic supported creating and editing feature templates, and now so does Map viewer. Check out this blog post for more information. The long answer is that the default value on a field (stored on the service) has somewhat limited utility because it gets overridden by a subtype default value and feature templates.  Even if we support changing the default value on the field, it doesn't propagate to feature templates. When you add a new feature and use a feature template, the feature template has its own default value. Now, you might think, updating the default value on the field it should also update the default value on the template. We don't do that because you may have explicitly set the default value on the template that's appropriate to the defined feature. Like others, I suspect it would be useful to be able to change the default value in a feature layer, for groups who don't use feature templates. And if people do use feature templates, then it's up to them to change any default values in the templates if needed; that's just part of normal business when we have user interfaces/front ends (like feature templates).   ...

For any AGOL novices like me: It looks like it's possible to change a default value in a Survey123 form UI, but not in the underlying hosted feature layer settings. ... View more

@bbollin  To clarify, there is a public webmap that you don't own but have permission to update, and a view that is shared either via a group or the org but not publicly? I created the web map and own it and can update it. But I don’t have any sharing privileges. The GIS administrator shared it with everyone. And same goes for the view, except it isn’t shared with anyone yet.   When you add  this view and save the webmap, you are getting the dialog above that you CAN update the view item (when in reality you can't). Does that sound right? I could modify the view if I wanted to, but I can’t share it since I don’t have any sharing privileges. ... View more

This continues to be a serious issue for users. Here's a classic case: User: I tried to copy and paste an annotation and my arcpro is frozen in time no thinking, no maybe it's doing something. Just peacefully humming and frozen. Me: Any chance there's a dialog open off-screen? User: not that I can see or find. there's no idincation there is a dialog open though if i view all screens and tabs or if i see another arcpro window  Me: I saw someone else go through something similar. There was no indication of a dialog being open if he viewed all windows via the taskbar, task manager, etc. But there was still a dialog open.  He was using his surface at the time. He even tried plugging in the meeting room screen as a second monitor so that he could see the dialog. But the dialog still didn't show up on the second screen. I believe he used some keyboard shortcuts to move the dialog onto the main Surface screen. User: Heckin' Pro That is the most annoying thing in the world there MAY be a dialogue open somewhere if you freeze. Not always 100% of the time but you must search everywhere for it before you force end the program The user currently has this expression on their face. ... View more

As an AGOL novice, my last resort workaround is to use the project name as a folder prefix so that folders for the same project are grouped together alphabetically. That lets me split up the AGOL items into separate folders. ProjectA - External Map ProjectA - Internal Map ProjectA - Survey ... View more
