Hi @Anonymous User, When I go to My Settings: Preferences I don't have a Private Messenger option. Oddly, when I click the 'information' button, the guidance points to the Kudos tab for turning messenger on/off (but it is certainly not in there). Is Private Messenger unavailable for some users?   ... View more

Hi Peter, I have invited you to a group with the feature layer and a sample CSV for updates. I've added details of the issues and steps I have tried in the group description. Many thanks, Rob ... View more

Hi Peter, Are you happy for me to add you to a group so you can access the content? Yes the fields show as unique as you demonstrate.  Thank you for your suggestion. I have not tried that approach yet and would prefer to get things working through the user interface as there will be other staff who are less specialist needing to perform updates and overwrites to datasets. There are several datasets in question, currently ranging from 10's of features to ~7000. In the longterm however we will be working with some layers containing >500,000 features. Frequency is also variable, but it will generally be fairly sporadic (i.e. once every 1-3 months). I have just created a very simple point layer in ArcGIS Pro and uploaded it to ArcGIS Online to test the Append/Overwrite functionality. After setting a field as UniqueID, when I upload a slightly edited csv, it does give me the option to Update existing features, but the only field from the ArcGIS Online feature layer that it picks up as unique to match to the csv is the OBJECTID. This is despite another field being set as unique. Furthermore it appears to struggle to match numeric (integer) entries from the csv. If I try running the update using OBJECTID as the unique identifier (as it won't let me select any others), I get the following error: "Object reference not set to an instance of an object.". I have also tried running the update with a text (string) field as the unique identifier on this test dataset, but this returns the same error as above. Thanks, Rob ... View more

@IsmaelChivite the article suggests that a repeat with no appearance setting should display as being expanded by default, however I have a form where the repeat is showing as minimal by default. No appearance is currently set on the repeat, but there is a relevant expression (see below). The repeat is directly followed by a group (begin group), but I have tested adding a text field between the repeat and the group and the behaviour remains the same. The form uses style=pages if that could also be having any influence. How can I remedy this?

I am also interested in this functionality. ... View more

Hi @Anonymous User , I am experiencing similar issues as those described by Jenny. I am trying to update (not just append) several hosted feature layers in ArcGIS Online but the update existing features checkbox is greyed out in all the layers I have tested. This is despite following this guidance and ensuring that Sync is disabled, that there is a unique identifier present in both the feature layer and the dataset being used for the updated. I am struggling to work out what is preventing the update existing features option from being accessible. Do you have any suggestions? Furthermore, is there an alternative tool in ArcGIS Pro that allows for update, rather than append? Many thanks, Rob ... View more

The solution to this (at least for us) was to change the iFrame height, as it had been set to a size larger than that of some devices (e.g. iPhone 6). Following advice from ESRI support we modified the embed html and have had no problems reported since. ... View more

Hi, No I'm afraid it has not yet been resolved. I had to resort to removing popups from the map to avoid this issue for the time being. Thank you for the suggestion @Anneka_France. The layer is already a hosted view of another dataset. Do you mean testing whether setting the visibility range in the hosted view Visualization settings prevents the issue from happening? (in contrast to setting it in the webmap).  ... View more

@IsmaelChivite is there any way to achieve the following? Outside of a repeat, a user fills in values relating to quantities for different species, e.g.: ${Species 1Quantity}: quantity ${Species 2Quantity}: quantity ${Species 3Quantity}: quantity ... For each species filled in, a repeat is generated (controlling the repeat_count parameter). (If it helps things to work, I could set it up where every species option has a repeat option but those where a quantity is not assigned is left as 0). Each repeat is indexed Each repeat uses pulldata() to pull in appropriate data based on the index (e.g. each index number is matched to a Species name, setting each repeat with a different Species name) Each repeat is auto-filled with data from the values entered at step 1, e.g.: Repeat 1 (Species = Species 1) Quantity = quantity for Species 1 This approach would make data entry much more straightforward for our users whilst breaking the data up in to the repeats as we need them for the back end.  From reading this and other excellent posts (including those with input from @DougBrowning who may have some thoughts here) I think at least part of this may be possible using the once(count) formula to assign each repeat a unique ID, and position() but I don't believe the latter is yet implemented? *EDIT: I've now managed to set up repeats with unique ID numbers each, and to use a pulldata function to bring in the majority of the data I need from an external csv. However the point I am stuck on is step 5 above. I've been trying to use the pulldata function to pull in a formula from the external csv in to the repeat, which would then call the appropriate field to get the value (e.g. ${Species1Quantity}). However, for obvious reasons this just calls the formula in as text. Is there any way that pulldata could be used to bring in a formula and then use that in a subsequent calculation? Or a way of building a calculation formula within a repeat from text components?
