I'm not sure if Vector Tiles support Symbol Layer Drawing but if you're just using the roads for reference then it's worth trying out. ... View more

If nothing else that filter is completely wrong, annotations should appear under Point and dimensions under Polyline. ... View more

Note that for most IDEs, you'll want to link to the python executable inside whatever environment you're currently using. For the built-in env these paths are: "%SYSTEMDRIVE%\Program Files\ArcGIS\Pro\bin\Python\envs\arcgispro-py3\python.exe" (all users install) "%LOCALAPPDATA%\Programs\ArcGIS\bin\Python\envs\arcgispro-py3\python.exe" (single user install) For the custom environments you can create through Pro you'll want to note the folder it's created in and then use the python.exe inside that folder. Unless something's changed most IDEs cannot pick up on the current Pro python environment so you'll have to change which interpreter you use on both ends; if someone's found a way to make this automatic I'd love to know! ...

This might be an Arcade limitation, if you use the Python calculation mode does that work? ... View more

If you have access to Pro: find the map file you publish the layers from, select a layer, go to the "Labeling" tab in the ribbon, click the tiny arrow in the bottom-right corner of the "Label Placement" section: now you have the Maplex positioning options. Click the third icon from the left to go to the conflict options and set a "Repeat". This will saturate your polygon with labels, even if the centroid is offscreen. This requires overwriting the map service or publishing a new one, and I'm pretty sure this won't work with your Feature Service (it might work with a vector tile service?) but it'll give you all the labels you could ever need.   That said, as others have mentioned: this is what symbology is for. A well-authored set of polygon symbols will make your areas easy to delineate and will work in all types of service. If the user has trouble remembering each symbol they can open the legend built into every web map. ... View more

If Scott can leverage JavaScript functions something like this StackOverflow question should be enough to calculate an end time given a start time and some combination of duration questions. ... View more

For clarification: would your workflow support collecting the geometry in Field Maps, hiding the attributes from editing, and providing an Arcade expression that opens the feature up in Survey123 via Global ID? This way you're only editing one feature between both apps. Alternatively you can make an Arcade link to a different feature layer (or a table layer in the same feature service) and pass in the GlobalID to a foreign key field, this works better if you need to do offline work. If neither option fits then that's a tough one, this level of app ping-pong is beyond what I've worked with. ... View more

For the two points where the blue vertices hit the edge of the orange square, are there matching vertices on the orange square? I've had issues with spatial selections where minute imprecisions along edges cause the inner feature to bleed out of the outer feature, even if it seems mathematically sound. If there are matching vertices then yeah this is a bug. ... View more

The List Domains function is what you're looking for, this will work on any EGDB. The sample code on that page should get you started. ... View more

This happens all over the place in ArcGIS, GUID/Integer fields are technically different from GlobalID/ObjectID fields even though they hold the same data types so many tools reject them, even in cases like this where compatibility makes perfect sense. A full sweep of the standard tools for cases like this to loosen up the data type matching would be appreciated. ... View more

Did some digging around and found two really good links. First is this old college course that covers the math involved in calculating the sun's position relative to Earth, among other things. If you're interested in the mathematical foundations this looks like a good starting point. Link. Second is pvlib, a Python library that models many aspects of photovoltaic phenomena, including the sun position given a certain date and location. You can either add the library to your Python environment and use the functions as-is (docs) or go diving through the source code to see how it's implemented (link). ... View more

I haven't dug into your specific form, but in general: If you aren't linking your survey to an existing feature service then you can create "repeat" question blocks in the survey. Each repeat block adds a new layer to the Survey's feature service with a 1-M relationship class ready to go. You can then have the rest of your workflow make edits to those related layers outside of Survey123, just make sure to use the "relevant" or "readonly" columns as needed to keep the repeats off limits to the initial survey. Alternatively, you can create the related table structure in your own feature service, then link the survey to that service. This requires more work than letting the Survey123 tools build the service itself but you get the ability to bolt Survey123 as an interface over existing workflows, use registered services that store your data in an EGDB, and maybe some other benefits. Either method has the same result: the Survey123 user fills out their part of the data, and then the rest of your org can populate related records for each form submission. ... View more
