Regarding the planned feature snapping functionality in Collector and Field Maps (Android): Would it be possible for ESRI to enhance the functionality, in either Collector or Field Maps (Android), so that it can grab a field value from the snapping feature?   In other words: In addition to getting the geometry from the snapping feature, what if a field value were also taken from the snapping feature and inserted into a field in the current/new feature? Could that be done?   If that were possible, I think it would effectively solve the classic parent-child problem that users often face when collecting GIS data. As far as I know, the only other way to enter a parent feature's ID into a new child feature is to type in the ID manually. Which is time-consuming and error-prone. Cheers. ... View more

In an ESRI video called Getting to Know Arcade, the presenter states that dynamic/calculated fields are possible via ArcAde expressions. How many of you have ever been in a situation where you had a dataset ... where you needed a new column of data because you wanted to have a column that contained values that were based on other values in the dataset? ...But you had to go and make a new column and calculate the values into that column. With Arcade, you don't have to do that anymore; you can do it on the fly. Arcade will look at whatever columns you're sourcing from, do whatever calculations or string manipulations you need to do, and then return the result without the need to change your schema. Question: It's not clear what platforms this functionality pertains to. Is it possible to create a dynamic/calculated field in ArcGIS Pro that is populated via an Arcade expression? Thank you. ...

I'm working on a Python script in an external system. The script will: Loop through records in a table in the external system. For each record, create features in an enterprise geodatabase FC via the ArcGIS REST API --> Add Features The problem is: I don't currently have access to an internal feature service for testing the script. Is there such thing as a publicly available feature service where I could test: Creating features (via the ArcGIS REST API) Review the results/records Thanks! ... View more
