This idea is to create an auto-incrementing integer field using the AGOL UI. The mechanism would be at the AGOL feature layer level, not at the app level, so it can be used globally. The OBJECTID field isn't suitable because it can't be used everywhere, such as for copy/pasting features in the Experience Builder editor widget. Further, it's generally considered unwise to rely on OBJECTIDs. Related AGOL Question: Auto-populate unique ID field in hosted feature layer (common ID between copy/pasted features in ExB)

I'm copying/pasting features from layer1 to layer2 using the Editor widget. I want to set up field mapping so that layer1 OBJECTIDs would be copied to a layer2 ORIGINAL_ID field. Use Case: I want there to be a common ID between the two features so I can know what the layer1 source feature was for the layer2 destination feature. Idea: Could field mapping functionality be added to the Experience Builder Editor widget for copy/pasting features?

For troubleshooting/data investigation purposes, it would help to see a hosted feature layer's OBJECTID field in the AGOL Data > Table View screen.

In Experience Builder > editor widget, I am manually copying features from layer1 into layer2. Layer1 is a Survey123 hosted feature layer. I want there to be a common ID between the two features so I can know what the layer1 source feature was for the layer2 destination feature. Is there a way to auto-populate a unique ID field in layer1 in AGOL? For example, is there a way to automatically populate a custom ID field in layer1 with the OBJECTIDs? My assumption is that OBJECTIDs can't be copy/pasted into new features, but values from a custom ID field can.

It looks like I can simply change the alias in the view's Data > Fields screen. I think I'd overlooked that previously because, at first glance, the change didn't get reflected in the pop-up in the web map. But I opened the pop-up properties pane, and that refreshed the field alias.

I have a view on a hosted feature layer. I want to either assign field aliases at the view level, or assign field aliases at the web map popup level, but not at the feature layer level. Reason: I want to display different field names in the web map popup that uses the view, but not in other web maps and experience builder apps that use the underlying feature layer. Is there a way to assign field aliases at the view or web map popup level, not at the feature layer level?

ArcGIS Online > a view item > Settings > Update View It would help to define the field order by dragging and dropping fields within the field list. I want to do this globaly in the feature layer settings, not in a web map. Related: Add new feature layer fields to existing view

@michellefillingim I couldn't get this window to insert the degrees symbol into the attribute table. How about you?

@RTPL_AU That's handy to know. Thanks. Windows + : (I believe Windows + . also works.) Edit: Unfortunately, the symbol doesn't get inserted into the attribute table cell.

Thanks for your reply. It says the Domain = None.
