Hi all, I have a model (a much simplified version of which is shown below) that appends a feature layer from ArcGIS to a geodatabase and then runs a series of geoprocessing tools on the data.  The feature layer has attached images which need to be retained within the geodatabase. The append step works fine, but when the next tool runs (in this case Extract Multi Values to Points) the output layer layer looses the attachments table and the relationship class between them (they completely disappear - see 'before and after' images below). Is this a bug and/or is there any way to prevent this from happening and maintaining the attachments? ... View more

Hi,   I was wondering how a Hub page is discovered by search engines and if there's any way to influence which pages a SE brings back as matches?  For our hub - one for surveying Willow Tits - if I put in ‘Willow Tit Hub’ into Google the second match (and the only one relevant to our hub) is the following:   https://national-willow-tit-survey-rspb.hub.arcgis.com/datasets/about-this-site   Whilst it’s great to be getting a hit on the hub (for a while I didn’t get anything relevant coming back) the page given isn’t really part of the hub (in fact I'd never seen it before).  It looks to be related to one of the hub’s real pages:   https://national-willow-tit-survey-rspb.hub.arcgis.com/pages/about-this-site   But has ‘datasets’ rather than ‘pages’ in the url and so gives a more metadata-type view than the page.  I think this would be fairly confusing to someone looking for the hub, even though you can get to the actual content by clicking at the top menu bar.  What would be much better would be if it gave an actual page on the hub – and ideally the main/home page. Is there anything I can do to address this?  It's fairly important that people can find hubs this way. ... View more

I have a survey with a repeat in it that I've published from Connect but is being used as a web form.  The repeat is optional and is triggered by people selecting a particular value on the main record.  It is entirely hidden until that value is selected and this is done using a relevant statement in the 'begin repeat'. This all looks great and works well in the web form, except for one thing.  For records where the required value to unhide the repeat isn't entered a blank record in the repeat is still created. I've seen some posts suggesting this is expected behaviour in slightly similar circumstances but I wondered if it was also the case here - or whether there was a way to stop the blank records from being created? ...

I have created a survey in Connect that I want users to access through the web form view.  The survey has a repeat in it with a geopoint question in that captures the spatial information in that I'm interested in.  The parent record doesn't need any spatial data captured so I've effectively hidden the mandatory geopoint question from there by making it only appear when the relevant value equals something users will never be able to enter.  This all works fine, but I'm a little unsure around the behaviour of what's recorded in this 'hidden' geopoint and wanted to check how it worked. Basically, I want to ensure that nothing real is captured in the hidden geopoint question - especially the location from where the user has submitted the record from (this is really important as I need the survey to be fully anonymous). In Connect I've set the default lat/long for the hidden geopoint to equal a location in the sea, but when when I've tested it records from the web form view it get logged as off Africa at lat/long 0,0.  This is fine, but I need to be 100% that it will always do this and not try to get the location another way (e.g. by getting it through the browser location in the background or whatever). Does anyone know what the exact behaviour is for a geopoint question like this?  Will it always record 0,0 via the webform or is there a way a user could inadvertently give their/a different location? ...
