It would be helpful to sort repeat records in reports. Example use case: Inspectors log a timeline of events in repeats. Each repeat record also records date/time. If revisions are made to add an event that was missed, the feature report has no way to show the events chronologically. Example: 07:00 AM: Construction crew arrives on site 07:45 AM: Construction crew begins excavation work 04:00 PM: Crew leaves for the day 12:00 PM: Crew breaks for lunch (added as part of revision) 12:30 PM: Crew resumes work (added as part of revision)

Hi Mark Bockenhauer, did this make it into the 100.7 runtime release? If so, any ideas on how long this will take to make it to Collector?

Thanks Xander. I was hoping the join could do it for simplicity, but Arcade would work. The join in this case is 1:1. Do you have any example scripts for updating using FeatureSet?

I have 2 hosted feature services, a "production" HFS and an "updated" HFS. The production data was published from Pro, the updated data was published as a HFS from a zipped GDB upload. I've created the join in AGOL based on a common ID, and saved the join as an HFS view. I want to update attributes in the production data from values in the update table. The underlying production HFS is editable. Seems like this should all be doable, but I get errors with SQL or Arcade.

File this under "too obvious for my brain". If you're ever in NJ I owe you a beer.

The new sharing process is nice, but it's not very user friendly for someone who owns and manages a lot of groups. See screen shots, I would like to see these things improved. Particularly, a way to quickly see a list of groups an item is shared with. Showing the icons is not helpful to anyone who maintains many groups (I maintain 38, I'm sure many people have more).

Looking forward to hearing the resolution of this, since it will also impact essentially every production survey that I've authored. I do not believe this is the intended behavior? James Tedrick 3.7.x is still in beta, correct?

When you go to a Hosted Feature Service's Settings (Overview) page, you have the option to "Create View Layer". I'm familiar with the concept and I understand what's going on here. However, on the Visualization tab you also have the option to "Save As New Layer". What is the difference between doing this (aside from the option to save a single layer?) and creating a view? Based on Create hosted feature layer views—ArcGIS Online Help | Documentation I'm taking a guess that you have more granular control over a HFS View as compared to the New Layer option. Am I missing anything else? The description in "My Content" is different also.

Let's say I have {expression/expr0} written, and I want to write a new expression to use the same output but scrubbed a different way. Can I reference $feature.{expression/expr0}? That syntax doesnt work, but hopefully this is possible and I'm doing it wrong?

I'm trying to pass a variable for the fieldList parameter of the FeatureSetById function. See line 13. If I remove [relFSAtts] from line 13 and return all fields, my script works fine. But when I use a variable in an attempt to retrieve only some fields, no featureset is returned. My console output looks correct, so I'm not sure why it's not working 'ParentTapNumber', 'CustomerName', 'CustomerContact' Any ideas on how to make this work? I want to avoid hard-coding attributes where possible, because this is a script I'll use frequently. //Set the name of the related table, foreign key field, and attributes to include in the feature set
var relTable = "MyTableName_5212"
var relKey = "ParentTapNumber"
var relAtts = "'CustomerName', 'CustomerContact'"
var relFSAtts = "'" + relKey + "', " + relAtts
console(relFSAtts)
// Get feature attributes from parent table and build query to get related records
var featID = $feature.TapNumber;
var featQry = relKey + " = '" + featID + "'";
// Get feature set from related table based on ID in map, and filter it with the query
var fSet = FeatureSetById($map,reltable,[relFSAtts]);
var fSetFilt = Filter(fSet, featQry);
//Declare placeholder variables for each attribute, and declare utility variables
var CustomerNameResult;

Setting theme-grid on the entire survey adds borders to every question which are distracting (in my opinion). If we could set the borderColor property in the body::esri:style column it would be helpful!
