I have an AGOL map open in the map viewer that has two hosted feature layers: Survey Items - raw info from Survey123 entered by members of the public Artifacts - verified records entered manually by internal staff Using the web map, a non-technical person needs to review the Survey Items points and enter new points into the Artifacts layer, where applicable. We've intentionally made this a manual process to ensure that the data is thoroughly audited and improved, since the Artifacts layer will be displayed publicly on a separate web map. The user wants to copy some of the info from the Survey Items popup and paste it into a new Artifacts feature. However, it doesn't seem possible to keep the Survey Items popup open while creating a feature. So that makes it impractical to copy/paste text field values from one dialog into the other dialog. Could the map viewer be enhanced with an optional setting that keeps the explore popup open when creating a new feature?

I'm a non-admin AGOL user. I can create content, but I can't share it. I have a web map that I created & own that the GIS Administrator has shared with everyone/publicly; I've opened the web map in the web map viewer. I've removed a hosted feature layer (I created it and own it) that the GIS administrator shared with everyone, and I've replaced it with a new view on the feature layer that I created and own. The view is not yet shared with everyone/publicly, since I don't have the privileges to do that. When I saved the map (after removing the feature layer and adding the view), I got this dialog: I hit Update Sharing, and the dialog closed, but it didn't do anything. The view still isn't shared with everyone. My GIS Administrator said: "AGOL will check your webmap and alert you to any permissions inconsistencies, as you saw with that notification. It's a handy feature. But because you didn't have privileges to share items publicly, it just quietly didn't do that for you when you clicked Update Sharing. It would be nice if it told you that." Idea: Could that functionality be improved so that users without sharing privileges don't get that message? Or if we do get that message, display a follow up message saying nothing happened. ...

As an AGOL novice, I'm wondering if it would be helpful to display the item's REST service name on the item details pane: I find I often open the REST services page for a given item, just to see the REST name. It seems inconvenient to flip back and forth between the item page and the REST page for this. ... View more

Is there a way to set a default value for a Single Select field? (from within the Survey123 website > design mode) In design mode, I tried clicking the radio button beside a choice: But in preview mode, the choice did not get automatically selected. If clicking the radio button in design mode doesn't set a default value, then what does it do? ... View more

I'm new to Survey123. As far as I can tell, there isn't a clean way to put a terms/conditions checkbox and a legal disclaimer at the bottom of a Survey123 form. Use case: Public government website where the user enters information and photos about historical artifacts to be reviewed and displayed on a public web map. Could that functionality be added?
