For sure, if you're doing more complex schema definitions then Add Fields is unsuitable. One other trick you can look into is creating a template feature class/table and then feeding that into the CreateFeatureclass/CreateTable tool. I believe that should preserve nullability, scale etc. but make sure you run your own tests. Other than that, Blake's suggestion to just add the domains in a second pass using the GP tool should work just fine!

I've found for 99% of cases you'll want to use Add Fields to add multiple fields at once. You do lose some configuration options but for simple tasks it'll do what you want.

Would a reference scale meet your needs? I can't think of any other way to control line sizes across arbitrary scales. If you have a set list of fixed scales you can create multiple copies of each line layer and hand-size each thickness to taste.

If all you care about is sync capabilities, enabling Archiving will allow that without having to deal with version management. You can also use Branch Versioning and never create any child versions, this is roughly comparable to classic archiving. In my experience, either do archiving/traditional versioning for every item in your database or use branch versioning for everything, trying to mix the old and new methods leads to compatibility corner cases.

Labels are controlled by the web map's definition and are limited to whatever's supported by the "classic" map viewer, if they display there they should display in WAB. IF that doesn't work, you may have a widget that's inhibiting the labels, try making a new app from scratch to see if they appear. If all of that fails I'd take it up with support.

Does every row in the CSV have a unique ID of some sort? Export what you have in AGOL and isolate the missing records and see if there's some notable difference between them and the successful records. You might have to open the file in a text editor to see exactly how the data is stored.

If the schemas are similar enough between polygons you can merge them all into one big feature class, then use a combination of subtypes, contingent values and/or smartform conditional visibility to ensure your users aren't putting square pegs in round holes. Otherwise you'll need 1 feature class per shapefile, although you can put them all into one feature service to keep things simple. I use Enterprise Geodatabases for my work so you may have to find some alternate help files if your data is hosted but the theory is the same.

Enable a topology source in your map, start vertex editing and switch to "Edges" mode. From there hold down the mouse on an edge and start dragging, then release to lock in the selection. It looks like ArcMap supports the same general workflow based on that tooltip so your team can practice there first.

Our team isn't on 3.1 yet but my best guess is ESRI dropped that package from the default installation. If you create a custom environment and then add suds-jurko or zeep through pip that should work, in my experience you don't need to go through the conda package manager unless your library uses precompiled binaries. You can also try installing 3.1.1 on a test machine and checking the packages included, there's always a chance your install screwed up during the python section.

Ah, I was setting it just on the group's style, I guess you have to set it on the entire survey. That works perfectly, thank you!

According to the docs, if a Survey group has columns it should be possible for a child item to span multiple columns. I can't seem to get this working at a basic level, what am I missing? I've attached a minimal example form, the "Additional Comments" should span the width of the group but it's currently showing up in just the first column. Thanks in advance!

I have an existing web layer with set locations that I want to use as a dynamic choice list for a survey question. Reading through links like this blog post it looks like the choice names and labels both have to be in the layer's fields directly, but I want to pull the choice names from the domain codes and the labels from the domain descriptions, that way the survey data has the same internal representation as the web layer's data. Does this capability exist? I can do workarounds with dumping the domain codes and descriptions to a hosted CSV file on the regular but that seems like a pain. Thanks!

A common workflow with collection apps is to capture photos of documents, IDs etc. Something that would improve the overall quality of these captures from field crews is a translucent overlay of the document's shape so users can align it correctly. My suggestion is to add a new "appearance" type for photos named "rear-overlay". When a question has this appearance the photo must be taken with the device's rear camera and the viewfinder will have an image overlaid to guide the user. The image can be a SVG or PNG file that's stored and referenced the same way that "image-map" choice questions are. In addition, the question can have the image scale (0-100%), image anchor (top-left, bottom-right, center etc.), image rotation and overall transparency changed in the extended settings.

Thanks Jansen, I had a feeling this wasn't offered but I wanted to make sure. Off to the Ideas page I go! And thanks for the verification ideas, we'll be sure to figure out something that works for the crews.

Is there a way to overlay a graphic on top of the camera viewfinder for a question? We've got a project coming up where surveyors will collect lots of IDs, licenses etc. and it'd be nice to have a rough outline of the target ID in the viewfinder to help align the final images.
