If you're authoring for Pro 3.4 or above you can check the new "Show banner that tool modifies the input data" option in the General properties. Looks official to me!   ... View more

I don't see any obvious errors (besides what Doug brought up). My advice is to copy the workbook to a new survey, publish that as a hosted service, then download the service as a geodatabase so you can compare the schemas. Other than the case of the OID and GID fields* any differences you see could be a point of failure. Worst case you blow out the old data, copy the schema you downloaded into your EGDB and republish from there, that should sort things out. * Hosted layers name the fields objectid and globalid, but layers created via Pro include uppercase characters in the field names. This is the one exception to the lowercase field rule so don't worry about them. ... View more

I'm curious, do photos taken outside of Field Maps and then attached later have the same metadata issue? If not then using the device's built-in camera app (or something you grab from the app store if the stock app's lacking) would be a clunky workaround. Not that this is an excuse to not log as much metadata as possible in a GIS collection app, hope the team can patch this up for the next big release. ... View more

If the Pro team is committed to leaving Define Projection in its current "fixed" state, there should be a separate tool (or a new option for an existing tool) to project the data to a new dataset with the presumption of a specific input coordinate system. That way datasets filled with unknown coordinates can be defined and projected in a single tool. ... View more

Good old Windows Task Scheduler appears to be a sensible way to schedule tasks on your server machine. Your team will have to write the tool that pulls the required data and does stuff with it, but you maybe be able to get away with writing a Python script and leaning on the ArcGIS API for Python to do the heavy lifting. ...

Unless there's some on-premises setup for Power Automate I haven't heard about, neither it nor any cloud hosted automation platform is going to play nice with your firewall. You'll have to work with your IT team to either A) punch a hole in the firewall just for the automation platform or B) do something like a scheduled task on a machine with ArcGIS Server access which pulls recent survey submissions and does the automated work. The latter is certainly more maintenance work than using a visual code platform like PA but it doesn't compromise your team's security plan. ... View more

Bingo! Scheduling a task that accesses a feature service, opening the task wrapper and adding arcpy.SignInToPortal(arcpy.GetActivePortalURL(), username, password) makes the tool run without issues. It even sets the application's logged-in user which is great for consistency. Thanks for all the advice Josh! ... View more

At first glance this looks like the magic bullet, I'll get my hands on a built-in account and report my findings once I have time to test this ... View more

Just username/password. I think we'll have to use 2FA eventually due to Azure rules but it's currently not enabled. ... View more

Right now the accounts are the ones linked to our AD (I think that's the Identity Provider type) but we need to spin up a new account eventually so we can switch to a built-in account if that works better. ... View more

This looks fantastic for scripts that use the Python API and REST APIs but I don't think it's suitable for my case. I need to schedule Modelbuilder models and/or script tools that primarily use arcpy. These tools will need to access geodatabase items through a file path or EGDB connection as well as feature services via URL and they need to function as user-driven toolbox tools as well as scheduled tasks via the Python wrappers Pro creates. The developer info doesn't mention anything about traditional Desktop workflows and limits like "must refresh and replace the keys" or "can only access up to 100 owned items" are also a non-starter. In a perfect world the only maintenance required in the process is reauthenticating on the machine that runs the tasks any time we change the password for our scheduled tasks account and then everything flows from that. That said, this is much better than our current solution for outside apps that integrate with our Portal so I'll dig into this once my team does the next Enterprise upgrade, thank you! ... View more

Odd, if you select one or two features before exporting does that change things? ... View more
