Hi Ismael Chivite‌ -  Is it possible for the hydrant summary report template showcased in the blog above to get shared so users can see the syntax?  ... View more

Hi Karl, I actually opened a support case with Esri around this because it was such a painful experience for us. We did so many different rounds of testing. When the most recent version (20.2.2) was released, the problem seemed to go away and we were able to stream long line features without the program crashing. So, whatever was wrong seems to have been fixed. So far we've had good success!  Erica ... View more

This is great! Just a heads up, the instructions on updating report template syntax to deal with multiple photos per image question is different than it is stated above. I could not get the syntax above to work, however the syntax from the report template help did work: ... View more

Thanks James; I didn't think to look there as I just got the notification today and thought it corresponded with this update.  As to my other question - does this 3.10 update support the full payload on edit when using Power Automate?  Thanks!  ... View more

Hi Ismael Chivite‌, At the UC it was mentioned that this released would support the full payload being sent to Power Automate on an edit operation. I don't see anything mentioned about this in the blog - is this now supported?  I also received an email that BUG-000126498 has been implemented, but I do not see it in the list above. I'd just like to confirm that this has been corrected with this released.  This is an exciting update! Thanks for all the great content around it! Erica  ... View more

Sorry - I did a poor job wording that. I was basically wondering about the repeat count in the lookup, which by your expatiation above seems possible. This is something I will dig into.  Thanks for you help and patience.  ... View more

Hi Doug, One more question on this topic.... My survey has many repeats, some for things like contact information. In some instances we have one survey where there will be two "primary" contacts within a "Primary Contact Info" repeat. Right now, I am able to pull the first primary contact's information from my CSV into the survey via pulldata. Is there any way to use pulldata to bring in information for a second record in a repeat?  My guess is no, since I am basically creating a 1:1 match between a field in the CSV and a field in the XLSForm, however any insight you might have here would be really appreciated. ...

Hi Doug, It looks like I just need to do a lot of reformatting of the data. I was testing using a CSV that originated as a Google Sheet. Although I thought I'd cleared the formatting, I think there was some latent junk in there. I created a new CSV with a very small subset of the data (cleaned) and it seems to behave properly. I did not expect those weird issues to crop up but now I know - start from scratch! Your word wrap suggestion was really helpful - I wouldn't have thought to look for that. Once I saw it in my CSV I decided a fresh test was in order. If you have any other useful tidbits to pass by, I'd be appreciative! Thank you for being so helpful so quickly. Erica ... View more

Colin, I actually tested this today before opening a case and when I took my map offline in Collector, the hosted feature layer View with sync enabled also downloaded and displayed in my offline map! So, it appears that this is working for me now. I'm not sure if this was addressed in an update or what, but it's good news. Thanks! Erica ... View more

Hi James, As a very late follow-up question to this...pulldata functions work within repeats, only if the value you are trying to retrieve from your CSV was triggered by a field within the repeat? Since that may be worded poorly, here is an example I am trying with varying success: Question outside of the repeat: I want to be able to select the ${Restriction_Name} and have that, in addition to populating the ${Restriction_Number} also populate a number of fields within a repeat for 'Landowner Contact Information'. The way I am structuring the pulldata function in my repeat is: It seems as if it might intermittently work while I am testing this in Connect, however I am also seeing some weird behavior both in my ${Restriction_Number} field and in my ${Primary_Contact_Name} fields. This strange behavior includes a weird default value in ${Restriction_Number} (this is a required field with no set default), some random quotation marks (") in the ${Primary_Contact_Name} field and (once) unreliably sourced information in the ${Primary_Contact_Name} field (e.g. sometimes it pulls in the ${Restriction_Number} instead... Example #1 - weird default value present in Restriction Number before a Restriction Name is selected from an autocomplete picklist (select_one question): Example #2 - weird default value in Primary Contact Name before a Restriction Name is selected (same as above): My pulldata file is stored in the Media folder as a CSV. There are no field names with spaces in the CSV. It does seem as if some weirdness can be traced to commas within the pulldata CSV fields (can there be no punctuation in the pulldata CSV?), however I am curious about the strange default values in my form. There are no quotation marks in any of the fields within my CSV file. I am currently testing this as a proof of concept for potential use in one of my established surveys to assist staff with data entry. Any insight would be appreciated. Erica ... View more

Hi Colin, No worries. Yes, we are still having problems. If you think a Tech Support case is the way to go, I will do that soon. Thanks, Erica ... View more

Yes; I use the API to grab all of the non-edited fields I need to support logic within my Flows. I don't use it to get every field in the hosted feature layer, but you could do that (as it sounds like that is what you're describing above). Once note is that the HTTP connector in Power Automate is a "Premium" connector; it is available via 90 day free trial, but you'd need to upgrade your Power Automate account in the long run. The Parse JSON connector is not "Premium". ... View more

Hi Derek, We have been able to use this blog from Esri Canada to get around the issue you're describing in Power Automate - Webhooks, Microsoft Flow and the ArcGIS Rest API – Automating Your Web GIS  Although it describes altering another hosted feature service, we've been able to modify it so that this works on the survey's hosted feature service. I think it should help you accomplish your goals. Erica ... View more

Hi Colin, I am not aware of any other view layers we have that do this. In an attempt to correct this, I have deleted and re-created the view for this particular layer multiple times, with no success.  I actually did not know that going offline resolved that, however I just did a test and do not see the points from my View layer showing up in the offline map (although the layer is listed in the legend/layer list.  Erica  ...
